I like it. Best applied super thin with a DA and let it sit 30+ min b4 removal. Lava smells awesome as a bonus!

Awesome, thnx for the input. How's the durability/beading? I'm just thinking about using it as a topping and on wheels, as the say it's good up to like 300 degrees?

Durability is a solid 4 months maybe a bit longer. This isn't a super tight beading product. The beads are kinda flat and promotes sheeting water and pollutants while the vehicles is in motion.

Good info thanks. I've been looking at this wax. Seems to be a decent choice for lighter vehicles?

Not to thread jack, but what are some people's opinions on similar waxes for light grey metallic paint?

So in your opinion, is it worth the $70?

How does it feel to be a member of the "more products than I can use club"? :laughing:

I picked up a tin of this for cheap ($30) from a guy. Quite frankly, its the texture of snot. Applying it is a bit like snot. I applied it to one panel and I clumped up like boogers.

However, it has a great sealant shine. I would classify more as a sealant than a wax - as I believe it has no carnuba in it.
I think if you applied it by hand you would use a lot of product. I think it's a nice product, but I think for $70 I would buy something else.

I'm happy with it. That's your call if you feel it's worth $70. It expensive for a sealant and a bit unorthodox. I would buy it again tho if that helps because it has a unique look unlike most other sealants or waxes out there.
