I've searched and searched and have not found a definitive answer.



Is the Moose Wax an LSP? I'm not referring to the Carnuba Moose Wax, just the plain Moose Wax. The reason why I ask is, I noticed that it has cleaners. If I apply it on top my Collinite 476s, what will happen? Will it add to the finish or strip the 476s or do nothing? Or can I apply it before the 476s?



I found plenty of answers for the Carnuba Moose Wax, now I just need an answer for the Moose Wax.



Thanks guys,

I think people that use it, use it as an LSP. I use almost all of their products except that one. I have used it in the past, but switched to RMG and CM from them.
 
ClearKote's Moose Wax is a cleaner wax. It offers some protection but not near the durability of the 476s. If you plan on using both, use the Moose Wax first. Accumulator does a great job of explaining what a cleaner wax is:





Accumulator said:
Optimally, the two jobs of cleaning paint and then protecting that work with wax are just that, two separate jobs with dedicated products. Cleaner waxes are products that attempt to combine these two jobs into just one product: prewax-prep (the "cleaning") with the protection provided by waxes. They don't do either job especially well compared to dedicated products, but they're not as bad as some people make them out to be either.



The "cleaner" part of it generally combines very mild abrasives (so mild you can ignore their presence) with some chemical cleaners. The protection part of it will only last a few weeks, so it's best to apply a more durable product after using the cleaner wax. This combination of a cleaner wax and a "straight wax" can work well; you are in effect using the cleaner wax instead of a polish and then applying the wax over top of it.



Generally, cleaner waxes will leave white stains on black plastic/rubber trim, so keep them off of such surfaces. Otherwise, cleaner waxes are generally pretty user-friendly.



Meguiar's and Mother's both make cleaner waxes that are commonly available. For the straight wax, I always recommend Collinite for its great durability. You might find Collinite at autoparts stores or at marine supply places.

Johnnie27,



I didn't realize you started a thread on this. Check your pm's for the answer to the question you asked me.



In a nutshell, you would use Moose Wax either completely by itself, or use it first, and then top it with a carnauba wax like your 476s.
 
Thanks guys. It makes sense. I just wasn't sure if it was stand alone LSP or if it was necessary to use an LSP afterwards. I got my answer.

It is a stand alone LSP if your doing a 1 step cleaner/ wax.



It is a huge dust magnet !!! QD after it .



Personally I think its not a good product.

I have a few huge trees near that hover my house so dust is an issue.



I think it might be a good touch up cleaner/wax in between actual polishes.

It certainly smells horrible but by hand it gave my roof an insane shine after hand application of some hand applied polishes (paint's already polished) but I applied prime acrylic over the top of it as a base for sealants.



Wet wet shine is what it provides

Yeah, but I'd wait 24 hours and a wash before topping any carnauba with another.

Thanks Scott. I actually tried to PM you about this question but I guess you're not accepting PM's at this time.



Thanks for the advice.
