Hey guys,

Here I am doing a short review of the newly available Menzerna Sealing Wax, APO. I decided that this was a great chance to lightly polish my new bike and see what this product has to offer.

My 99 Honda CBR is painted Honda's Nighthawk Blue Pearl, which to those who don;t know, is black to the eye, but when the sun hits it right, is blue as ever. I had my bike pretty much completely disassembled when the package came in from the Geek. I opened it right up and when right to the tail section.

Application was very easy. I opted to use the PC with a white pad to test out the light polishing ability that the product claimed to have. Judging by the pictures below, this is hands down the best AIO cleaner wax. The nice thing about it is that there is both carnauba and sealant materials in the product, making for a durable and deep shine.

Starting application at speed three, I bumped it up to 5 for a longer pass and finished up with speed 6 working the tail section for an additional 2 minutes. I noticed that this product does not dust nearly as much as I expected it. Likewise, the work time was right where I needed it to be to remove some of my hairline scratches and swirls. One thing that did notice, however, was that the product sling off of the pad is very high. I did spread the product and used a little amount, but I guess this is just a characteristic to deal with. It definitely worth it though.

Here are the pics...

FINAL THOUGHTS:

I would definitely recommend this to anyone considering an AIO product. Seemed to have more bite than Klasse AIO and I loved working with it. At the relatively cheap price, this is a great product to have to cleanse, lightly polish, and seal in one step. As you can tell by the pics, the paint is not in amazing condition.

I will be sure to report back when I can conclude on the durability.

Sounda like a good product for a detailer. Best AIO cleaner wax, right? Is it kinda like XMT 360? Or more close to Optimum Poli-Seal?

TIA.

I would say closer to Poli-Seal, still needs a final wiping after polishing.

Thanks Chris :(

I just received some the other day but I have not had a chance to use it. The paint looks good in the pictures. It's hard to tell from the pictures what you're looking at.

I was just basically trying to capture the taped off line comparing before/after with the tape method. I'll take some better pics.

a cardboard box popped up and hit the mirror and back door last evening. Left a mark and a little marring. After wash and drying, I used this by hand versus grabbing XMT360. It worked perfectly and removal was quick.
