    When I first got the product I intended on using it on the wheels because the temps down in the garage were in the upper 30's/mid 40's. So when I first tried it it was on the wheels I used for winter use, this is where I found that bottle leaked but i just worked through it because it was just the wheels and leakage didn't have to go to far. I sprayed it on freshly cleaned wheels, barrels and all and sprayed all 4 wheels and let it sit. Right after the 4th wheel was sprayed I grabbed the Worx hydroshot and rinsed them off. The product does cling pretty well to the wheels but I rinsed it all off and the water beading was there from the start. Afterwards I did notice how well it would bead and my wheel cleanings were very easy afterwards. I know I topped it with Griot's Garage foaming Poly Gloss a couple times afterwards, so I do know it plays well with others too.

    I plan on using this on my wheels about once a monthMeguiar's HCW update

    Here is a beading pic of HCW after over 500 miles of accumulated dirt & driving in the rain. This was after a light rain after I got to work.

    Application #5

    WARNING LABOR INTENSIVE

    I got off work early today and the car needed washed, so I decided to try a slightly different application method ... applying it like a "regular" wax.

    I washed & dried the car, then using a damp mf applicator I sprayed the HCW on the damp pad (one or two sprays per panel) and applied it in a cross-hatch pattern to ensure full coverage. It went on semi heavy this way and once I had the whole car covered, I rinsed it off the best I could, but I don't have a pressure washer OR decent water pressure so I was left with a wet car, heavy smearing and so-so water beading.

    Taking a clean mf cloth, I dried the car, which took about 90% of the smears away, and I didn't want to 'dry buff' the car and possibly cause marring, so I rinsed the car a second time.

    THIS TIME, the water beading was the best I've ever seen with HCW, very tight and many of them were silver, almost like droplets of ice they were so tight.

    The 2nd (actually the third) drying went extremely smooth and the paint finish was flawless, there must be some kind of filling properties because the few fine swirls in the paint were gone.

    I would definitely consider HCW a "beauty wax," even more so than Pinnacle Sovereign, with much better longevity than Sovereign.

    Speaking of longevity, I'm probably not going to be the one to ask, since I'm the type to apply SOMETHING after every wash, I'm THAT OCD.

    After applying HCW to my car 5 times (the 1st time using WAY to much), this is how much I have left:
