I would like Todd and ACC for having this product in a give away and fortunately I was the lucky winner.:autopia:
Description from the AG page: Migliore Primo Carnauba Wax is a premium wax blend made with nearly 50% carnauba wax per jar. It's the "best of the best" concours-style wax. Migliore Primo is formulated for those who demand absolute perfection and a paint finish that is dripping with gloss.
Migliore's unique blending process enables Primo Wax to contain a phenomenal amount of carnauba, yet remain workable. The high carnauba wax content gives Migliore Primo excellent protective properties and a clear, reflective finish. It dries completely clear and enhances all colors of paint with its sensational shine.
Migliore Primo Carnauba Wax is a true wax with no cleaning properties. For the ultimate finish, the paint should be perfectly clean and swirl-free. Use detailing clay and polish before waxing, if you have never done so or haven't done so in some time.
Once the stage has been set, apply Migliore Primo Carnauba Wax in a thin coat using a foam applicator. It helps to rub the top of the wax in the jar until it warms up. Wipe off with a microfiber towel. If necessary, mist the paint with Migliore Endurance Quick Detailer to make removal easier where the wax has been applied heavily.
Migliore Primo Carnauba Wax was designed to compete among the world's best show car waxes. It definitely stacks up!
8 oz.
Price $99
Scent: Orange and rather pleasant
So I decided to try this on my truck. Paint was clayed and prepped with Dodo Lime Prime Lite to remove any old wax and contaminations. First thing I noticed was how small the can was for the claimed 8oz. this is a red CCS applicator:
Secondly because of the rolled lip on the inside of the can, the wax will not come out of the can for those who like to do so for machine application.
Application done by hand: This is a very different style wax to apply. I will fast forward to what worked for me thru some trial and error: The wax is very hard and doesn't transfer to the applicator very easy. So I kept the can in my pocket for about ten mins to get it warmer and help soften it up a bit to aid in the process. I also found that it helped to have a damp applicator to aid in the application process. I ran it under the tap and rung it out and did this a few times thru the entire process. Primo does require some elbow grease to apply but for the most part it it does spread very thinly. I couldn't find official instructions on how long to let this product sit on the paintwork. Thru trial and error, I found that doing a panel or two then removing worked best.
Product applied thinly and kinda hard to get a good photo:
Removal also requires a bit of elbow grease. I used Cobra Indigo towels for remova due to it's tight weaves which worked well for cutting thru the wax. Small circular motions worked well for removal but patience is a definate requirement. You do not have to buff off hard at all but taking tiny swipes with each circular motion makes it a bareable process. If you try to grab too much, the towel will grab from underneath you. This wax also cakes up the towel quickly, so have a few on hand for best results. I noticed absolutely zero streaking which was a pleasant suprise.
Results: For what I would consider a traditional nuba wax and some elbow grease in the application and removal process, this is one of the best looking waxes that I have used! It has a very deep shimmering gloss that is just about undescribeable. After being a bit discouraged with with it being a harder to work with than other waxes I have, I am just thrilled with the results. This is a true nuba look. For those looking to slap some wax on, this most likely isn't a product for you. For those looking to pamper their baby or a special clients car, this is definately something to consider. I would also expect this wax to have some pretty good durability.
A few after pics. These pics are from my iPhone and are not the best quality nor do I claim to be a photographer by any stretch of the imagination.
Thanks for looking!
