Hi Guys



Just thought I`d post a pic of my car after applying some butter wet wax, which was applied by the PC.

I`m well impressed.So besides being impressed, give us some feedback on this stuff. It`s a product I`ve been eyeing. How easy is it to use? How does it rate, gloss/depth/wetness wise against other products you`ve used?

I`ve used BWW for a few months now, and I`d have to say it`s a bit of a mixed bag. Here are the pros and cons I`ve found:



Pros:



1. Price. $30/gal? Compared to P21S at ~$30 for a little jar? The price is right.

2. It doesn`t stain rubber or plastic. (I won`t use any product that does.)

3. No dust during removal.

4. Looks as good as any other product I`ve used in one coat. Very deep, clear results, with better than average clarity for a wax. About equal to Zaino, better than P21S.

5. Very slippery buffed finish.

6. Easy to get out of cracks and seams. Doesn`t leave white residue you find days later, like P21S.

7. Smells good. Usable in a closed garage.

8. While BWW does cure overnight, it`s dry to the touch after buffing. So many carnaubas aren`t. I can tell it`s curing from the odor in the garage, that goes away after 24hrs.

9. Oh yeah, nicely fills light swirl marks. Better than P21S, much, much better than Zaino. I don`t need to polish as often.



Cons:



1. Takes some effort to spread thinly; more than, say, P21S, which is the easiest to apply wax I`ve ever used. I use one of CG`s black foam pads, which seem to work fine. Griots white foam pads wouldn`t spread BWW thinly.

2. If you don`t spread it thinly it takes more than average effort to remove. Not bad, but not in the top tier unless you spread thinly and evenly. I find letting it haze works best, which takes several minutes.

3. Pads don`t clean up with water; you need a degreaser. I really dislike that aspect of BWW. I put the pad in a zip lock plastic bag between uses.

4. Compared to Zaino it doesn`t last all that long; I`d say about 3 washes.



Overall, Butter Wet Wax is a winner for me, but I can see where it might not be for everyone. I wax at least monthly, so the lack of durability doesn`t bother me all that much. The lack of dust and high slipperiness factor make buffing a nice experience. (I use MF for initial removal and DF cotton towels for the final buff.) The result looks as good as *anything* I`ve ever used. My workhorse wax until I find something better.
