    Aquawax: how long will it last vs carnuba?

    Been lazy lately and have been using Aquawax on my daily driver, which now stays outside. Any idea on longevity vs a carnuba?

    1.) I consider Aquawax to be a Sealant—
    one that has pretty good longevity/durability,
    in and of its own self.

    2.) From my own experiences, Aquawax
    appears to increase the longevity of existing
    paint protection (LSPs)—including Carnaubas,
    believe it or not!


    •As such; and to surmise:
    -Aquawax will last the longest when used
    as a “topper”.

    -[OK, go ahead and throw in: when also
    used as a ‘drying aid’ over existing LSPs.]

    It's so easy to use, I don't see why you couldn't just use it every other wash and be ok. What kind of DD, and what color? I have a neighbor with a bright red Jeep that is outside almost all of the time, and he NEVER waxes his vehicles. It looks fine after owning it for years, believe it or not.

    I agree about using it every other wax. I would like to add try it as a drying aid as well. Even though I don't need another spray I'm getting some AW next time I order something, really miss that product! From the smell, ease of use and the extra Shine 30 minutes later, it's a winner and long time forum favoriteAquawax: how long will it last vs carnuba?Aquawax: how long will it last vs carnuba?

    932 mixed as a detail spray actually lasted longer than pure Aquawax in a long longevity thread running on here.

    I still don't know why people sleep on 932! This stuff is so good.

    I use the QD ratio for my truck and I love it. Much slicker and glossier than Beadmaker IMO.

    Isn't this Aquawax 952 not 932?

    932 is the no-rinse wash and wax. It is very slick when used as a QD. Some of us have known this for decades.
