*Since this is not a product sold by Autogeek, I have no idea where I should post this sharing. I think I'd better post it here...

In Chinese, we have a saying, "人不可貌相".
That means "You can't judge a person by appearance."
This is true even if you look at detailing products.
Intro:
Last week I saw a lady waxing a BMW E46 with a bottle of wax that I have never seen before. It is called Banana Creme, manufacturered by a Hong Kong based(?) company. Their company web site is here:
United Chemical Supplies Limited (http://www.ucshk.com/en/about.php)
This afternoon I was at a local car accessories store and I found the same wax. It is inexpensive --- HKD$108 (USD$13.8) for 32oz. It appears to me that the wax has been sitting on shelf next to Meguiar's, Mother's, Turtle, 3M, Autoglym products for long long time. I could see the solvents get separated from the other chemicals. I shake it well for 10+ minutes.
Properties:
Packaing:It come with a cheap matte plastic bottle with a white plastic flap cap.
Product: yellowish liquid wax, 32oz 946ml for about USD$13.8.
Consistency: tooth paste-like.
Smell: chemical solvent smell, like the Pinnacle Liquid Souveran that I have.
Made in: USA as labeled (?? questionable)
Application:
I applied it with a brand new Meguiar's foam applicator, spread a thick layer and a thin layer on the top cover of my Fujitsu laptop. My Fujitsu has a purple painted surface with metal flakes and has been my test panel ever since I bought it... I tried wipe on wipe off as well as wait 15 minutes. They seem to make no difference to me. Application is easy, removal is even easier than Natty's RED paste or NXT2.0 liquid.
Results:
The only thing I could say is about the outcome is OH MY GOD!
This is the SLICKEST wax I have ever experienced on my laptop. I have Meguiars, 3M, Poorboy's Natty's RED, Souveran, Fusion, DP MW, Sonax, 4 star (UPP), etc... I have experienced slick paint surfaces that clay cant stay on hood with water only, yet I have never experienced anything as slick as this one.
While I havent tried it out on a real car paint surface yet, side by side comparison with Natty's RED make Natty feel squeaky!
Photos:
Thick yellowish toothpaste-like wax.
