Price: $14.99 for 16 oz.
Details:
This new wax was given to me by Paul to review. I was told nothing special about the liquid wax and I frequently try out new LSP’s.
Review:
As I’m always trying new LSP I was interested to see how this unassuming product would perform on a black car (2004 Acura EL). I corrected half the roof and half of the hood (all I had time to do) and applied the wax to the entire car. I tried with an applicator by hand but prefer to apply liquid waxes by machine. I did a test area by hand and then by machine and both tests spots were virtually identical (it’s basically a WOWO wax). As I was short on time after the full detail I did not use an IPA/Eraser wiped down on the corrected areas. The rest of the car that was no corrected also was waxed to allow for different comparisons (corrected vs uncorrected).

Here’s a 50/50 wax and correction VS clean decontaminated paint:

I applied a generous amount of WAX to my Red Hydro-Tech pad. I buffed one section with two overlapping passes per section to both the corrected and non-corrected areas. I found despite wiping off seconds after my last pass the wax was hard to remove. Like an over applied hard paste wax. I tried another pad and much less product with similar results and went back to a slightly more generous amount of product in an attempt to fill the swirls/RIDS/etc. I wouldn’t say I liked the wax but I wouldn’t say I disliked it either, more of a run of the mill wax that does it’s job. Also it has little to no scent when I start applying I assumed it would start to smell good/bad but it actually had no detectible odor. This could be a pro for people who are allergic to synthetic scented products.
