    So, you have good quality and not cheap prep material and you're not going to protect all that effort you did with a $4 wax? LOL... I can see this wax not even protecting for a month.

    That is exactly what I am saying. The pop is in the prep, not the wax. As far as spending all that money . . . I'm a detailer. Those are tools of my trade. And yes, my Range Rover "deserves" better than a $4 wax. But come on guys. I found it in the garage while I was working and remembered that I bought it at Big Lots. I didn't go out and buy that wax for my truck. Come on . . . Really?

    Anyway. My point is what we here at autogeek know. It's not about the wax. It's about the technique and tools.

    Just got my Nattys Red in the mail today. Gonna give that a try this weekend.

    At the end of the day its all about what works for you and what meets your budget. Often times I think about Finishkare and Collonite at that price point also, and they both offer a lot of value.
    It was not too bad to remove. Maybe because of the glaze?

    It was just something I came across in the garage the other day. I'll not be using it. It was really just trying to make a point. I'm gonna try Nattys red this weekend. See how I like how it looks. Care to send me a sample of Souveran? Lol

    My point exactly!

    Oh the pop is for SURE in the prep.
    OTOH, if that puppy is the supercharged version, didn't it run like $75K new and gets <15mpg? Heck, I'd not be able to afford gas for that puppy, much less esoteric wax.
