For those "interested" in this wax, please see the linked thread on Merlin`s Concour`s Wax used on a black 2002 Bentley Arnage:

Yes, it is Merlin`s own proprietary "formulation" wax blend.
Sorry, no link to the company due to forum rules, so if you Google search Merlin`s Enchanted Concours Wax you will find it. It is "separate" from his detailing business, A Miracle Detailing.

I have had the fortune to trying this wax out. I’ll be posting my thoughts about in a few days.
I will say that if you like a traditional paste wax, this is a must have.

Looks like it is a 99%+ graphene infused blend. Interesting. I have too many carnauba beauty waxes but am still in the game for ones with good protection and water behavior. Which maybe this has?
I was ONLY interested in info on its performance from people here on the forum who have ACTUALLY used it-- thats all
Was not looking for info on where to buy- I already know where & how to buy
Which one of those do you like the best?

Are their different purities of graphene? Maybe he’s talking about the carnauba? Can’t be percetage amounts....Description is vague...

My intent was to give some background info to those Autopians and guest viewers who may be wondering "What is Merlin Wax?" and a link to its actual application and appearance on detailed vehicle, albeit done on a high-end Bentley by one of the world`s best detailers. I am not compensated in any way, monetarily or with Merlin`s Wax product, for what appears to be an endorsement or selling of his wax. As stated, it is just background info for those who are interested, nor do I think it is in the category of "More-than you-really-wanted-to-know"
I understand the reason for your starting of this thread: you want experience, opinions, and longevity performance of those who ACTUALLY bought and have used Merlin`s Wax on their own vehicles or those of trusted clients. My apology for not meeting that criteria and any appearance to "side-jacking" this thread on you.

Yeah I dunno what it means, I was kind of assuming a purity level but it’s hard to say.
“High volume of Premium Carnauba
99.98% pure Graphene infused...
Excellent Sheeting and Beading
Durability: Very Good”

Sorry, I wasn’t purposely ignoring this, Injust have trouble answering it. I have numerous favorites depending on what paint I have seen each on and what I’m looking to achieve. I find it almost impossible to answer. I’ll put some more thought into it though.

Hey, Lonnie - thanks for the info, actually. I knew he had his own wax, and nothing more. So thanks for posting the other info!

That cool I checked it out his prices aren’t bad. When reading I think the graphene used is the 99% graphene with very little other elements/material when he added the black graphene in. Is it something like how gold has Different %s
I was looking at buying some graphene a little while back and all the graphemes for sale had a percentage of purity attached and then size in some kind of nano measurement prob how long the piece were. It also had a measurement on how many layers thick the graphene was. I saw some graphene was a 1-3 layer with a size in some type of nano measurement

Thanks, Dr. Oldz! Looking forward to your highly-respected and valued (at least to me!) thoughts and opinions on this wax and the comparison to the other (many?) waxes in your detailing collection/arsenal/inventory/stash (pick a descriptor) There are a few of us Autopian "wax aficionados" and you are one of those.
I guess the appeal to me it is just that: a wax. I like the characteristic wax-on-wax-off application and removal that is ingrained in my detailing methodology that I am comfortable and familiar with.
Now if this wax has the characteristics and properties of water beading, unparalleled reflectivity, and longevity that is unique to graphene, who wouldn`t be interested in this wax in some way. And ,no, I did not know that this wax was "graphene infused".

Well- I bit the bullet & purchased some- Although its a tad pricey compared to regular "paste wax" which this is no "regular wax"- its less than half the price of the PA high gloss paste, and less than 1/10th of the price of some of those ridiculous paste waxes that us regular folks will never buy ($1000 to $2000 ). This glass jar was less than a C note.
Now as far as my opinion / thoughts- I highly doubt that it will mean much to anyone on the forum, but I will post them anyway.
1) Two size options 125ml for $59or 200ml for $89- I chose the latter
2) The 200ml container is a 3.5" glass squat jar with a black screw on lid and a gold label on the bottom with product info- also comes with a paper sheet with detailed instructions for application.
3) The product is a light olive / drab green with a fairly stiff consistency and a fragrance that smeels exactly like one of those smelly candles my ole lady burns occasionally - just couldnt tell what one it was by name-but it dont smell bad @ all--( unlike what I hear the fusso soft 99 stinks like ). Comes with a micro fiber applicator which is recommended over a foam applicator.
4) A little goes a long way- really
5) Application was a bit more work as was wipe off- which is REQUIRED
immediately after apply it-- do a smaller section , the wipe right off. I kept a HQMFT with me to wipe off right away.
Results--
I was pleasantly surprised at the overall results- It really made the paint pop- the metallic was more noticeable and overall brightness was increased.
Have yet to find anything yet that is as slick to the touch as this-- and I have tried A LOT of `em, and spend A LOT of $ on products-- just about everything PA has, Kenotek SRS- you name it-- this is slicker. It beads better than everything else also-- now its only been two days- so I cannot attest what so ever about longevity . If it lasts 2 or 3 months- I will be happy. Back in the 70`s & 80`s I used everything under the sun I could find and NEVER got more than a couple weeks out of anything ( my harsh soaps probably played a huge part in that )
So overall right now I am happy with it- and have zero regrets on my purchase

Why would you think forum members wouldn’t care for your thoughts on this?
Thanks for the review. It was useful and informative to me.

Wonder if it’s coating friendly i.e. it will bond?

@Merlin where you at? we got Qs.
Merlin
A Miracle Detailing
I am here, but I have stayed out of the thread (until now, to answer your questions).
I am not one for blowing my own horn (because it sounds like self-serving marketing).
I am happy to answer any detailing related questions that I can.
(application, removal, longevity, hydrophobicity, look, feel etc.)
...Please remember I am not a chemist or a graphene scientist.
For that I have had the honor of connecting with some the best in the industry.
(more on that later)
I will state that this is not another re-bottled/relabeled generic car wax.
It took me years to obtain this formula and I am very proud of my results.
It is a unique formula that is hand crafted and poured in very small quantities.
It is time consuming, fairly expensive and many of the contents are difficult obtain.
It is based on the simple idea to out perform the ever growing list of relabeled cookie cutter products.
My goal is to create an amazing paste wax for those few true enthusiasts that can tell the difference.
I hope you like it.
