Eagle 1's "Wax As-U-Dry"... any good

DaveInLA · 03-15-04, 06:54

Yes, I'm looking for an easy way out here...

I went to Pep Boys today to pick up the A2Z cleaner, and next to it was the Wax As-U-Dry product. Is this any good? I don't expect it to be as good as a good polish and wax, but is this worth anything at all? It sounds almost too good to be true...

Will it harm my paint (one of my cars was repainted, no clearcoat)? Protect against the sun? Make water bead? Give the paint a decent shine?

thanks

Hi Dave,

I have been using Wax as U Dry after my weekly wash. It certainly does not replace Klasse, Pinnacle or Poorboys waxes/sealants but I find it gives great shine and since I can spray it on my wet vehicle, it save me a step since I used to dry the car then use a QD for that extra shine. I would recommend Wax as U Dry as a weekly "detailer" but not as a long term wax or sealant. YMMV

I really didnt like it that much. I found it sorta difficult to use. I did try the Megs Quick Wax which was much easier per Mike Phillips instructions.

I too use it after every wash or if the car is clean and it rains I hit it with it before drying. I love it.

Worked great on aquamarine Saturn and silver Focus, horrible on black Miata.

Ah, I didn't consider color. My car is black.

Dave, i think its a better QD than spray wax.....You must make sure you currently have a good base product on your surface, or the EO is useless......

The subtitle under my screenname says "apprentice." Well, apprentice = newbie.

Anyway, QD = quick detailer, I assume.

What's EO?

edit: duh... EO = Eagle One.
