Re: Who says Wax is dead?
That's a fresh fleet!
It seems there's a resurgence in wax since Gyeon came out with theirs earlier this year! It's going to be interesting to see who does what next[emoji848][emoji57][emoji6]

Re: Who says Wax is dead?
There is no doubt that wax works great and gives you a great reflection and gloss. My problem is they just don’t last long enough. They were fine when I was hip deep in Detailing as a young man and didn’t mind waxing my car every month or two, but as I got older, I just didn’t wanna do it that often, but I still demand a clean/glossy car. The only other problem I have is that the good ones are more expensive than the sealants I use now.

It's true the Gyeon Wax, at $54, isn't cheap but isn't really that much for a premium product. Collinite #915, w/o looking it up, isn't that much cheaper but Gyeon is more expensive than others for sure. I think there's something for everybody out there without a doubt!
The nice thing about Gyeon Wax is that's its made to put ontop of a coating, as well as a stand alone too. I think some make the 30 minute cure time an issue with Gyeon Wax but when you think about it, you start where ever you start applying it and by the time that process is done you follow the same routine for removal and your good to go, no problem.
While I'm posting this I'm thinking about Duragloss #111/601. This combo was very popular when I first joined AG over 9 years ago. Mixing these at a 3:1 ratio allowed you to stack them ontop of each other, back to back 2 coats and was VERY easy to remove as well. Then there's the gloss..."candy like"! I remember doing MANY layers on my then new 2011 Honda CR-Z. Who knows, maybe this is "the next thing"[emoji848][emoji6]

Wax/sealants has never been dead to me. Your cars look great!
Re: Who says Wax is dead?
I still have some Blue Velvet and Diamond White leftover, I bought them well over 10 years ago and I'm only halfway through them. I also have Collinite 845 on the shelf. I love a good wax.

Re: Who says Wax is dead?
Wax is all I use for my ride. I have done the ceramic coating, sealant and wax. WAX is all I use. IMO there is no other LSP that shows depth and brilliance like a wax.
One wax I really like is Pinnacle Souveran Wax. On my 3rd jar. I have others that I use too! I use wax on my ride as well as my friends only.
WAX IS NOT DEAD!
KEEP ON ROCKING!
Re: Who says Wax is dead?
Nothing but wax here too. My Accord is due for some more and I'm looking forward to it.
Re: Who says Wax is dead?
For me, wax is pretty much dead. Considering how durable most consumer waxes are, a wash with Duragloss rinseless or an SIO2 soap gives me enough protection till the next wash.
Re: Who says Wax is dead?
Black Widow is part of DoDo’s hybrid line. Glow of Carnauba with the protection of a sealant.
Durability is stated at 4-6 months. Pretty solid for a Wax.
