ANyone use this stuff? I have the liquid, and I was not too impressed by it. I have heard good things from the retailer that sells this stuff, but I am hoping for a more "Autopian" opinion.



THANKS!!!:xyxthumbs

Couldn`t sell it, huh? Was that $5 shipped?:D

I have the paste version. The shine was pretty subtle. I used it as a topper over NXT on my mom`s metallic dark grey E320. It made the paint look a little darker. I like the look a lot, but durability was mediocre at best. Water was pooling on the car after a month. Not too bad until you realize the car is a garage queen and only sees the light of day three or four times a week.

LOL. Is it worth adding to my arsenal? You and I seem to have the same taste in products...lol

I wouldn`t bother. I have Z2Pro on her car right now and I think it looks just as nice if not nicer. Have you tried FMJ yet?:)

I just put the paste wax on my car this weekend. I found it hard to remove if not put down in thin layers. When applied with a PC, it was pretty easy to remove. The show car paste wax has a decent shine, but if you don`t have it, I wouldn`t bother getting it. A benefit is that it doesn`t seem to attact dust as much as other carnuba waxes. Other new products have come out recently that should capture your attention instead.

Ok. Coll. NIX on the 3M wax. Time to find some S100 locally...

I think you`ll like S100. It`s not the most durable wax on the market, but the looks and ease-of-use are a winner, IMO.
