Review of Natty's Blue

Two weeks ago I gave my RAV4 a complete WG treatment and the shine from the sealer was very nice. But, after reading how great wax looks over sealer I decided to get some Natty's Blue. After washing and drying, I applied Natty's with a PC using the blue pad, I did the whole vehicle and let it sit for 45 minutes while I got some gatoraid! Then, I removed it with a MF bonnet over a lamb's wool pad. It was a bit dusty, I probably spread it on too thick. I went through 2 bonnets. I went back over the vehicle with a MF towel. Results: maybe I was expecting too much due to the hype, but I wasn't that impressed. On the other hand, my wife who is extremely critical of new products - LOVED it. She said that was the look she wanted on her van, that the RAV looked awesome! OK, maybe I'm the one with the issues, but it did look great the next day to me. Guess I was "blinded" by the shine.
 
Well there could be a few things going on here. One, the Wolfgang looks great as it is, so an improvement may not be easily visible. Another problem that could have happened is using the PC. Next time try applying and removing by hand. IMO its easier than using a PC and saves time. It's easy on and easy off as you probably realize already. Maybe try another layer on top of what you have on it now, by hand, and see if the results are any better.

Oh yeah, not sure what blue pad you are talking about (LC or Wolfgang?) but that may have removed some of the WG underneath hence the lack of results. Just don't get discouraged, you have some great products on hand.
 
It was the WG pad for applying LSP's. Thanks for replying - I never thought about it like that and the Natty's did say apply by hand. I think I'll wait a couple of weeks a see about another coat.
 
Nattys blue is one of the best waxes I've ever used. Its also has great durability IMO. Depth & wetlook to boot.
 
Natty's blude is indeed a good wax for the price. Ive read that it's really good for darker color cars such as red, dark blue, and black.

Even on light colors it's awsome, EX-P X2 and NB X2 on my white suv looks great, about as wet and deep as white will get.
 
Well, I tried another coat of Natty's, (by hand) still a be-otch to remove. Looked great in the sun light, but under my 1000w halogens I saw tiny water spots, maybe I'm being too criticle here, I mean who the f^%$ carries around work lights to look a daily driver. Still, I was a bit tic'd that the wax didn't get rid of them. Maybe I should have first gave it a quick polish with XMT#1 - I don't know. My wife is starting to think I have a problem......
 
First off..Natty's is not a cleaner wax..does not remove water spots and such..A polish will remove water spots..plus bring your paint up a level of shine...

the finished look is 90% prep work..clay..polish..

your LSP is just like Iceing on the cake....

for the hard removal..2 things come to mind..one is did you apply the wax very thin..to thick and it will be a bear to remove....

second..what was the temp outside..I find when temps fall to 50 or below..wax can be hard to remove..it sorta solidifies...

Like Al said you need a polish to remove waterspots. A wax is not intended to correct paint but to enhance it's appearance with some protection..
I've never had any problems removing Natty's Blue no matter how thick I put it on and I've put on over 25 coats(by hand).
As long as the temperature was over 40 the wax was easy on and easy off. Oh yea and the look is about as good as it gets but then again that is subjective.
 
Try applying Natty's Blue to no more than 2 or 3 panels at a time. Wipe off the residue, and then go on to the next 2-3 panels. You can also try the spit shining method by spraying a chilled QD spray (like Spray and Gloss) onto the surface and applying the Natty's right over top. This seems to make the Natty's a bit easier to remove and also leaves a wetter looking shine.
 
Thanks, I didn't think I had water spots, but like I stated - you have to really look hard under the right lighting to see them, I know - shoulda checked BEFORE I waxed. The temp was 67 degrees when I was working on my Toyota, low humidity and plenty of sun. I plan to use WG pre-wax cleaner and then WG sealer on it as soon as I get some free time. This is a daily driver but it stays in a garage at home and in a parking deck at work. Also, it's got to last me at least 10 years! Unless a customer has a request for wax, they're getting WG sealer and when that runs out I'm going to try Megs #21.

does a chilled qd make that much difference?

I've tried side by side experiments, and the temperature of the QD does seem to make a difference with carnauba paste waxes. YMMV, but it's an easy process that anyone can try for themselves.
