Directions: It`s a spray wax, I don`t need directions........... (actually I did read em, especially what it said about getting it on trim)

Now outside temp is 80, car was in closed garage all night. Garage opened to do this, so 1/4 sunny, rest shaded.


First spray - imho great sprayer, but overly generous for a 2x2 section.

The directions say spray, wipe, flip, wipe. I did spray, wipe, 2nd towel for 2nd wipe. Then went to their directions since it seemed to have a touch of streak from the wait?

As I said, some sun, most shade:

After application and wipe:

Now I did have some streaking issues, which I found funny since it is white.

You have to remember that my house faces East, so it gets morning sun and bakes.

This is what I saw when I got in car to move outside for "after shots"

Now I know that this is not real, but it is somewhat evident of radiant heat off the floor of garage.


After shots:

Can see some streaking here, and this was in sun when it was done.

Finish was SUPER slick to touch when finished.

The acrylic formula should hold up in our Florida heat too. I checked the van I tested this on and it was still slick a few days after application, even after a few rainstorms.

Thanks for the review!
 
Great review, Ron! Interesting about the streaking. Did it wipe off easily or did you need to reapply a small amount of spray wax to remove it? Also whats your base LSP this went over?

The streak didn`t come off. I didn`t try to add more to remove....... Figured at that point between sun/temp was gonna be too hot.

Base lsp ???? There is so much stuff on that car right now....... Till it gets repainted, it`s my canvas for play time.

Sounds like the base lsp could be the culprit.
 
Did you try to apply to towel and then rub on paint? seems like with the ability to spray this anywhere it could be compared to Megs D156(when it comes to "flexibility") and when it is too hot, i spray towel then wipe panel and that solves the streaking problem. This is on black paint getting hit by sun on a 100+ degree day.

I`d like to give this a try on a non detailed car as a quick wash and wax job and see how it bonds.
