I tried this stuff out this weekend and Im quite glad I purchased it. I washed the car, pulled it into the garage and leaf-blower dried it, removing 90% of the water. Then went around misting panels with the Spray wax and drying with a Cobra guzzler ( switching to a dry one half way through ).
I was very impressed, no streaking, very slick surface, nice shine and glow with no haze.
I also performed a little test on the hood. I misted half the hood with the Griots Spray On Wax, the other with FK425 my favorite quick detailer.
I dont know if the FK425 didnt like the water on the surface, but it actually hazed a bit compared to the Griots, and the surface didnt feel that normal super slick. So I went over that area with the Griots afterwards and it felt/looked nice like the other side, so all good.
Strange thing is, I went out the next morning and sprayed the FK425 on a few panels and it left the normal super slick surface I am used to. So maybe it was the water that mucked it up. Or maybe I had the spray wax on the towel and that somehow conflicted with the FK425.
I cant speak for the longevity but as far as ease of application goes it ranks higher than the other spray waxes I have tried ( meguiars ultimate, optimum ), and equals the ease of the Blackfire spray sealant Ive used in the past.
Plus its relatively cheap at 13$ for 35 ounces. Hopefully it will BOGO at some point in the future and I can stock up!
