I found this in my dad`s stash today, he`s never used it. Anyone have experience, should I even bother with it?

He said he got it for free at a car show. I wonder if it`s the same as their Perfect-It series just an old version of it/old packaging.

Can`t go wrong with a good Paste Wax. Do a test panel 1st to see if you like it. I`ve seen a few paste waxes long ago (Turtle Wax)that were not very user friendly and you nearly sprained your arm trying to remove it. And it was very powdery too.

I have a can and I really like it overall.



It is similar to Meg`s #16, in that you need to apply it REALLY THIN! Also, it is a bit finicky as to its best set time. It is not a wowo, but you can`t let it dry to anything more than a slight haze, or you`ll be taking it off with a QD.



Durability is quite good, I have gotten up to the 3mo. mark with it on vehicles that sit outside. The overall shine is down in about 3 weeks, but can be maintained really easily with Meg`s NXT booster wax.



The 3M pictured offers outstanding wetness on light colored metallics. It also does really well on bright solids, like yellow and red.



Overall, it is a very liquid looking WET wax, but is lacking in depth. Darkening or enrichening of dark colors is not its best quality.



This is my one of my absolute favorite lsp`s for silver, as it makes it dripping wet and the metallic pops well.



Also, it smells GREAT! Like a pina colada...it makes be hungy.



Hope this helps, if you try it and don`t care for it PM me, because I don`t think 3M makes it anymore and I`d like to have another can.

Sounds like a good wax

Perfect, my car is yellow. I`ll give it a shot soon, thanks.
