Notes:

I must say, i'm impressed with FX Synwax. It's: Reflective, easy to use, slick and seems to darken the paint as well as a carnauba. I've been using Boutique products for a while now, and so i was pleasantly surprised with the performance of this OTC product thus far. :xyxthumbs

My only gripes are that the "shampoo" type bottle is bad at dispensing the wax. Easily solved by transferring it to a condiment squeeze bottle.

The mister of the FX spray wax is pretty good and it wipes off cleanly. Didn't seem to add to the look of the just applied FX, but from what i've read, its supposed to be a booster of sorts.

As promised, some pics in the sun:

Tires dressed with VRT:

Going to need to try some Mothers Power Polish on the paint:

Keep us updated on durability and appearance as time goes on. Nice to know that there is yet another great OTC product availble for impulse buying.

Extremely nice job! I agree, the Synwax is a very, very good product and looks great on that color! :bigups

I'd say that FX was much easier to apply and remove than NXT (not that NXT is hard to work with). I found it to be a slicker and a little more reflective than NXT, it definitely left my truck with a glassy look to it.

So far I like it, and I'll be monitoring durability in the coming weeks. I'm curious to see how it will compare to #21 sealant, which is said to be easier to work with than NXT...

I have 2 weeks on my synwax and it is still just as slick and beads just like when I put it on. The water refuses to stay on the paint during a wash! So easy to apply and remove aslo!
