How about Yellow Jackets? I just tried a new product from ValuGard and I was surprised to see that it attracted a swarm of Yellow Jackets. Not exactly the kind of thing you really want to be working around. I've seen Souveran and a few other fruity smelling waxes attract gnats, mosquitos and flies, but never anything that really hurts.
The product I was testing is their new 'wax as you dry' spray. I don't know if it is on their site yet. They sent me a free bottle to try it out. I'm kind of torn on what to say about this product. On one hand it does exactly what it says. You spray it on while the car is still wet from rinsing. Then you dry it off as normal and buff the surface to a fantastic shine. It does just that. The shine is impressive and it even masks minor hazing and swirls. I figured I'd give it a shot before I polish out what minor swirls I have before the OCDetails show next week.
I first applied this product last Saturday. Since then it has poured twice. Today after washing the car the product was still filling in swirls. A quick alcohol test proved that much. So if you are looking for something to do that, then this is a nifty product. The car looked great until it rained. then it was pretty bad looking. This product doesn't attract dust, which is a good thing, but the car still looked extra dull after it rained. I can't really explain how, but it wasn't the same as when it rains on Wolfgang. There was no loss in slicknes after the rain though. Other than looking a little dull, it rinsed well and kept the slickness even after two rain storms and a wash.
The downsides of this product are that it really does take some extra time to apply. Spray it on a wet car and then dry it off. Sounds easy enough. However, when you have to consider the cherry scent attracts wasps, it takes a little longer as you are swating them away. That didn't happen last week, so maybe it was just because it was earlier in the day or something. Also, this isn't something you really want to get on glass. You can always just buff the glass afterwards, but the overspray doensn't just wipe off. The product also streaks a bit and is difficult to buff after you dry the car. The fact that it does do a good job at hiding minor swirls may make the extra work worth it, but I would just keep that in mind.
Acording to my price sheet from autoint.com, this product is going to cost around 4 bucks a bottle. Not a bad price for what it does. I'm not a fan of hiding swirls, but I know not everybody feels that way. If you can't get the swirls out and you don't want them to show as badly, then this is a good product to try. Just watch out for yellow jackets.... Check www.autoint.com for ordering information if you want to know where to get it. I'm not a distributor or employee of autoint, but for some reason I got a call from them and they sent me a bottle. I can't say no to free product, so the least I could do is review it and let people know where to find it.
