I guess this means an experiment! lol

This Saturday I'm planning on doing a full-out detail, I will tape off three sections of my hood and apply the mixture and the individual waxes on separate areas. I don't have the greatest camera in the world, but it should be enough to be able to make comparisons of the three.

Apparently I'm not the only person who isn't happy with the durability of BW. With 2 coats on my car, it will last maybe 3-4 weeks (judged on water-beading ability). When the wax is first put on it looks amazing, it is crystal clear and has quite a bit of depth, but within 2 weeks it starts to loose its clarity and at 4 weeks the water lays on the paint with absolutely no beading at all.

Ive used ~6 other waxes and the BW by far looks the best, but has the worst durability of any that Ive used.

Thank you for all the replies and suggestions
