OK, so I placed an order for some Chemical Guys products for my Camaro (new BC/CC paint, light metallic blue w/pearl). The plan was Wash > Clay > Blacklight > Pete's 53 > Hybrid V7 (all by hand). Only thing is, I received CG 5050 instead of the Pete's 53. Should I return it and get the 53? As far as I can tell, the only difference (apart from colour, not sure if that is important) is the Pete's 53 is WOWO while the 5050 needs a 20 min dry time. What should I do?

As far as the color goes one is white carnauba and one is yellow. The look may be different depending on what you're looking for and your eye. Regardless I would give them a call and let them know the situation.

If you check the chemical guys YouTube page there is a recent video where one of the guys there explains each different wax they have.

Keep the 5050. Pete's is good, but 5050 is nicer.

Keep the 50/50, you totally scored. Pete's is ok, but nothing special. Very similar look to 476. 50/50 is something very special, probably my favorite wax.

Is it the limited edition?

Thanks guys, I have decided to keep the 5050. It is the silver tin, so I guess it is the V2?

You made a wise choice, 5050 is a much better wax IMO :xyxthumbs:

You are a lucky man!!
On the CG website it says to let 5050 sit for 20 minutes.

The Blacklight, 50/50 Wax combo is one of my favs!
