Auto FinesseDesire car wax, 150 gm

What a great show wax! First off this wax is only meant to last 2 months maximum. Do not be buying this thinking it will protect all year long, as it wont. Other Auto Finesse waxes are designed to last longer, i.e. Passion, Essence, etc. Have a look on the Auto Finesse website for more details.I bought this wax solely to use on my car during the summer months, it leaves a glossy, wet look finish. It is a 'hard' wax that is very easy to put on to the car, when putting a sponge applicator in it spreads well and its easy to get a thin even coat. When cured its also easy to remove with minimal buffing required. Ideally you want two even thin coats to maximise the protection, 3 hours between application. Also make sure you prep the paint before applying, car needs to be very clean, decontaminated, de-tarred and a pre wax cleanser before applying the wax, if any of those are new words to you I suggest you read some articles first about detailing. Wax is essentially a lense you see the car through, all the results are in the prep work, so if the paint is not preped correctly you wont get the best results from the wax. Suggest reading some articles from detailingworld.com, some good beginner guides on there.

Never really got on with solid waxes, so tended to use liquid waxes or sealants. Got a sample pot in a Waxybox and rated it, so splashed out on this at 25% or so off RRP. On the face it seems expensive, but the tub is a great big thing and will probably out live the car. As for the look on the paint, it's nice and glossy on my gunmetal grey, great reflections, nice beads and although it's only been on a week or so, totally came back to life after a two bucket wash. It can be a bit tricky to shift if you let it sit on the paint for more than a few minutes, especially if it's warm but no big deal, just needs wetting with some QD or a touch more wax on top. Less is definitely more, get a nice thin, even coat going and you won't be disappointed.

purchased this while it was on offer on amazon,i applied 2 thin coats after first cleaning the paintwork with rejuvenate.it is so easy to both apply & remove the residue.the finish basically blew me away ! i thought i had my summer wax with s/v bos but for me this wax has a more fluid finish which is what i was after.i will have to see how long it stays looking fresh but as of now this is my favorite.UPDATE: the finish lasted about 4 weeks before just starting to lose a little bit of its wetness,as a show wax i find that very acceptable,dont get me wrong it still looked great & was protecting,but it was nothing that a fresh coat wouldnt solve,which with its super easy application/removal is hardly a big deal.

Thought carefully before spending this much on a car wax but turns out its money well spent. Goes on easier than it comes off so don't leave it on more than a couple of minutes. Defiantly only one panel at a time and do the roof in 4 separate quarters unless you want a really good work out. After an initial couple of layers I now just do a couple of panels each time I wash the car so don't know if it protects for a full 6 months as claimed. With it being a hard wax, the jar seems to last forever. Everyone asks what I've used on the car.

I’d like to leave a proper review about the product however, this said unfortunately I received a 150g version rather than the older 200g version expected. It’s 25% less so I’m not particularly impressed. .....

Ease of application and great finish

Easy to apply and relatively hard wearing. I was under impression that white paint responds better to acrylic than it does to carnuba so I'd always used Werkstat Jett. But then I tried this and, because Alpine White isn't a 'pure' white, the warmth of carnuba actually enhances the gloss better than the Werkstat product. It's amazing on VW's Mayan Blue, too. Seems expensive on the face of it but you only use a tiny amount so it goes a very long way.

Really pleased with the results of this wax, admittedly the first time I have waxed a car but results were exactly what I was hoping for, easy to apply and work with, initially I thought was a bit expensive but I can see a little goes a long way and a tub as big as this will last you a very long time.
