Up Close & Personal: Bouncer's Capture the Rapture

http://autogeekonline.net/nick/Bounc...%20Rapture.jpg

I've had the carnauba itch for a couple months now, so when the opportunity (see "time") presented itself to hand-apply a coat of one of the finest carnauba waxes available - Bouncer's Capture the Rapture - I simply couldn't pass it up.

Capture the Rapture is more than just another carnauba wax that makes paint glossy and smooth, it's something special. Developed over a strenuous 10 month period by a car-wax enthusiast named Jay (known as the "Bouncer"), Capture the Rapture Car Wax promises to provide a stunning visual appearance that will surely impress even the most discriminating car wax enthusiasts. Bouncer’s Capture the Rapture Car Wax is crafted entirely by hand in Buckinghamshire UK.

The test subject was a 2013 Honda Accord.

Process:

1. Wash with Pinnacle XMT Gel Shampoo & Conditioner
2. Nanoskin Autoscrub Wash Mitt
3. Klasse AIO
4. Wolfgang Deep Gloss Liquid Seal
5. Bouncer's Capture the Rapture

Before I proceed any further, let me make something clear: you will not read "effortless" or "super easy to apply" in this review. As I said earlier, Bouncer's Capture the Rapture is something special, and it makes you actually work for the carnauba glow that every car care enthusiast craves.

Before you shrug your shoulders and click the back button, take a look at the pictures below.

Bouncer's Capture the Rapture imparts a fluid gloss that causes light to dance across your paintwork. The result of all Jay's hard work is stunning reflections.

I applied Bouncer's Capture the Rapture by hand - outside temperature was about 85 degrees. Vehicle was parked in the garage (it was about 9 pm anyway).

I quickly discovered that if Bouncer's Capture the Rapture was applied just a hair too thick, or left to haze longer than instructed, that it could require some elbow grease to remove. After doing a small test spot, I dialed in my application method and found it best to remove Capture the Rapture about 1 minute after applying it. The extra effort required to remove this wax was well worth it.

If you don't mind putting in a little more effort for a lot more shine, Bouncer's Capture the Rapture is well worth a look.

Two thumbs up Jay. :dblthumb2:

Thanks for the review Nick. I have been meaning to get it for a while. Now I might just add another great wax into my never stop growing arsenal.
