Mothers FX Spray Wax or Reflections Spray Wax??

[Dan]

Bringing up an old one here...



I`ve recently compared both the FX Spray and the Reflections Spray. Not sure if there has been a forumla change as some have noted here the need to buff after reflections, but both are now spray on, wipe off products.



I really did not care for FX. I`ve really tried to like it, the only thing I really like is the smell. The Reflections on the other hand looks and feels great. Easier to apply as well. It smells like a 12 year olds cologne though, but I can deal with that. Great product.

Has anyone compared the Mothers FX to the Optimum spray wax or the Megs Ultimate Wax? I have the Opt & Megs and like them both, though a light coat seems to work best when using either product.

I haven`t used Reflections in the last 3 years... Ummm, time to refresh the files in my brain.

I quite like FX spray wax. What didn`t you like about it Dan?

It`s sort of grabby when applying, just mid pack slickness, and mostly because the there is very little depth to the shine. Reflections is slicker both in application and end result and much deeper.

Yeah, I know what you mean about it being "grabby". I found it a bit weird at first but after you spray it on it kind of goes gel-like, which requires a bit more rubbing in and spreading. No biggy after you get use to it. The gel-like consistency gives me the (false?) impression of durability. The look is more deep than FX liquid wax which is all gloss.



I`m ashamed to say that I`ve never tried Reflections spray was as it`s so expensive here.

I haven`t used either in a while. I liked FXSW, used it for a long time. I don`t remember its application being too fussy. However, for a booster-style product, I prefer UQW. For a spray wax, I prefer OCW to Reflections. It`s quicker, easier and looks great.

Guys, I don`t want to leave the impression that FX a bad product, its certainly not, however it is outclassed by its sibling and others. The gold standard for me is still OCW. It just does everything right, slick application (wet or dry), a little goes a long way, super slick when dry (and not oily), great durability, and it looks like a real wax.
