Exactly what I was saying. Its not a BAD product but I would rather have spent my money on something else. I figured it would CLEAN but its basically just a "shine" product. Does what it claims to do I just dont need another blackening product.

Wheel Wax is garbage. Originally bought it at a car show from seeing it online and could have just saved money and used regular paint seleant.

The thing with Wheel Wax is that its supposed to hold up to higher temperatures than traditional sealants.

Products I didn't like:

Turtle Wax N Wash I bought at Costco for $7 a gallon.
Bondo Black Restore: The worse product ever!
Prima Mystique Soap

Chemical Guys Window Cleaner. Just streaked and didn't do anything on dirty windows.

Overpriced: if you take into account the refill, I disagree. As to the looks, on light metallics it is quite remarkable. Finally, it is as easy as it gets and it lasts (these are probably the two biggest attributes). But, I agree you can get similar or better looks with cheaper competitors.

But I can't regret since I never bought one...

Don't get the Fuzion haters. I really like that wax. I'm not really sure why they do the refill thing, maybe that's what makes it cost more than others. However, its been on sale or VIP enough times.

Frankly after testing the new Pinnacle APC, I would give that a try on a stubborn stain, cut 5/1 should the need arise.

Adam's is aggressive because it's acidic. I'll never touch that stuff again!
