Water in wax?
Have anyone experience this with their wax? I opened the jar up today and notice that I have some water in it when I know this has been sealed. It did took me some time to crack it open since it was tight but I am not sure if this wax is any good.

I'm guessing that is CG Black Wax? Looks to me like some sort of separation of the product. I wouldn't worry too much about it. Just stir it back up with a rod.
Traditional carnauba waxes do not have water as an ingredient. However, with that stuff it could be more like a low VOC sealant or wax emulsion that needs to be remixed every so often.

You sure it's water and not solvents separating from the solids in the wax?

Re: Water in wax?
That does not look good
Contact the manufacturer
Interested to hear what they say

Like suggested prior, stir it back up, and check the consistency, etc its most like separation from not begin used/mixed every so offen, you mostly see this on sealants/liquid type waxes

I do notice it as well on CG: Metal Polish in where I need to shake it in order to get the compound back to normal again

You are awfully generous! Separating products are almost always a sign that the product isn't really market ready. You should be more firm with this - too many rope products being sold to detailers with the brand trying to bluff away!

so there is no reason we should ever shake any bottle of anything we own before using??

Umm, as I've seen Mike, Larry, etc. do, I shake every product before use.
And just checked, my Meg's and Menzerna products all say to shake well before use. Are you suggesting Meg's and Menzerna aren't market ready?
