    I have been using Blitz for almost a year now. I alternate with Blitz and Pinnacle Paste Glaz. Anyway...In the past 4 weeks, I applied 5 coats of Blitz on the hood of my chocolate brown F150. Immediately after the 5th layer, of course it look just waxed and deep and reflective but about a week *after* the 5th layer, it looked even better. Deeper, clearer and `more` reflective. I do not know the dynamics involved with wax curing/hardening, but has anyone ever noticed this with Blitz or other quality carnaubas ???

    This is pretty common if you apply a wax when it`s cool and then take it out in the sun.

    This often happens with carnaubas, Klasse and even Zaino. We usually get the full wonderful effects of our labor a few days after the last coat has been applied. By the way, with 5 coats of Blitz I`m sure your ride looks awesome!

    Cool !!! Thought maybe it was a placebo effect

    But guess it really does take on a clearer and more reflective look after a few days. Unleaa we`re all suffering from too much wax inhalation !!!

    Yeah....it looks great and water beads like crazy.

    my car looks better every day i look at it must just be my eyes :p



    I find that Klasse looks tons better after a week of curing, really nice. Wax with Blitz, PPG, or Soveran, wash with PBS, and use some nice OGShO and you`ve got yourself a winning combo.
    Pay Attention Klasse!
