I've been using this stuff regularly now, and I'm very pleased.
First impressions: The wax is hard as a brick, and smells good in a strange way...I can't quite place the scent.
Easy of use: It's tough to get a thin layer because it goes on so clear, but all that's needed are a couple of swipes off the top of the brick. It likes to haze (I usually give it about 10 minutes) before being taken off...no WOWO. Removal is fairly easy, although not quite as effortless as removing CG sealants.
Looks: Very wet and very bright; I like it a lot better than S100. Unlike most carnaubas it allows metallic flake to really POP. It looks nice and wet on dark colored cars, like most paste waxes, but it also looks great on metallic silver. I sometimes like to use a killer combo of CG Revive Glaze or Danase' Speed Glaze before the wax...they enhance it very nicely.
Slickness: Not bad for a carnauba, definitely better than S100, but I still like the sealant slickness better. It's "thick" to the touch, as you might expect. Slickness dies off after about two weeks if not maintained with a spray like Danase' Speed Shine or, my favorite, CG Pro Detailer w/carbauba.
Durability: Again, pretty good for a carnauba. Beading keeps on strong for about a month, but I have never left it untopped/uncleaned past that point so I can't tell you exactly how long it lasts.
Overall: Well-rounded, quality paste wax at a very attractive price from our favorite vendor. :thumbsup: Can't beat that.
