But for $$ to durablity I think its just about unbeatable. Excellent waxes.

Re: A uk version of the wax test!

thanks everyone.

As said, a flat surface may have been better, but all have the same surface. The painwork is car like, met paint, lacquered. No graphics have wax on them - only paintwork.

All waxes look the same, but there are some very slight differences with the odd one or two, some slightly darker.....

I have some time tomorrow so may do the first update!

This is the third review out of three that has gotten the EXACT same results as I did when I tested 9 different waxes; all the waxes look EXACTLY the same outside of a VERY slight darkening effect some have which is barely noticeable to begin with. Since I did my test, I vowed never to be swayed into buying a wax again based off of promises of looks.
