I have had this stuff sitting around unopened for months. I picked it up just to give it a try, but never got around to it.
Since I am going to strip down my klasse for blackfire & souveran next week, I figured I would give it a try and see how it turned out.
Price: $12.76, more expensive than meguiars #26 and goldclass, but still cheaper than P21S, Blitz, etc
Availability: They have plenty of it stocked at my local Murrys Discount Auto, but I don`t think I have seen it at AutoZone. Depends on what chains are in your area.
Application: I was pretty surprised. I used a yosteve foam applicator, and it really went on smoothly. With little effort, I was able to put a very thin coat of wax all over the car. I didn`t have to use very much wax to cover all painted areas on the car.
Smell: Smells like chemicals, but it’s a very very faint smell. I had to put the bottle right up to my nose before I smelled anything. Apparently my GF was watching me from inside, and was quite puzzled on why I smelled the wax. Going inside afterwards with wax on the end of my nose didn`t help the situation ;).
That does show how close I had to get before I started to smell anything.
Removal: Oh my lord, this stuff did not want to come off. I went inside for a small break before trying to buff it off. Probably waited about twenty minutes. Even with a very thin coat of the wax, it smeared everywhere instead of buffing off. The MF I was using got saturated in wax very quickly and would not pick up anymore. Further, the wax that did get on the towel was very very tacky. I figured I needed to let it sit longer, and it would buff off easier if it was completely dry.
Nope, I waited an hour and a half and it still would not buff off. It was as dry as wax gets, but I ended up using four towels front and back to get it all off. I used #26 as a topper for a PT Cruiser yesterday, and it came off much easier so I don`t think I am just used to the easy-on-off of souveran/blitz/klasse/etc.
Results: Pretty good, better than I thought. Its not up to par with blitz, but its pretty close. I doubt I would use it again because of the pain of removal, and I don`t mind ordering easier to use products. It has pretty good depth, and it does have a nice Carnauba warmth, that compliments the gloss of klasse. If you can get this product locally, and have arms of steel, you may want to try it out. :xyxthumbs
