Any thoughts on this wax as I am considering buying it. Durability is not an issue as I will add a coat of a durable sealant underneath. It is rated very highly on some forums for it's unique wet look. Any thoughts?

Never heard a bad thing about it.

Check out my review a few months ago. I still use it every once and awhile on my GTO.

It can't hold a candle to: Trade Secret Carnauba Wax ;
or even S100 Carnauba Paste Wax...IMO.

And you don't have to apply those two with your bare hands!
{What's up with that "process" anyway? :confused:}

Bob, I appreciate your responses and consider you a smart person. Unfortunately, I am not very bright. Are you just bring sarcastic that it's a good wax or are you criticizing it for the hand application process?

I have no idea how to wax with bare hands to be honest.

Bob..

C'mon now...I don't believe that for one second...
IMHO:
A person that's not very bright wouldn't be able to come up with words like sarcastic and criticizing---and know the implications behind them.

•OK...To make my previous points a little less fuzzy:
-As far as I'm concerned: Vic Red is no better than the other two Waxes that I listed---and many others, as well!
-I don't see how a Wax---that has a fracture point of ~130-160 degrees---can achieve that temperature by rubbing it between and betwixt ones hands/finger and then applying it to a vehicle. --Call it "soften/melt" for easier application, etc., if they or anyone else wants to...
I call it marketing hype at its finest.



I have no idea how to wax with bare hands to be honest.
Case in point:
Why bother with such products?!?!

I used it with the foam applicator and by machine with great results. I am not a believer in the bare handed ordeal. Especially with today's technology. But none the less it's still a great wax!! And it smells so good..

It's pretty decent stuff. Good for dark cars and what not.
