I was at Lowe's today and saw this on sale for $1 per bottle. I bought 2. Anyone tried this? What do you think? I currently use DG Aquawax as my spray wax of choice but I just could not resist this for $1.
 
For a dollar, yea sure!

Swissvax has a similar product but cost a bit more, LoL

How can anyone take this high price wax serious?

here's their writings,



Swissvax Shield Wax with PTFE

Swissvax Shield is a long-lasting wax designed for tough service on modern vehicles. Because of its almost legendary �non-stick� effect, dirt and insects find it almost impossible to adhere to our highly concentrated natural wax with PTFE, just as a fried egg will not stick to a PTFE-coated frying pan.

200ml tub.

Price: $189.00
 
I don't think I'll go wrong for $1 per bottle but have you used this before? What's your experience with this product? Is it any good? Any previous or current users want to chime in?
 
The Dupont Spray Wax with Teflon stains black trim like there is no tomorrow. I would avoid it like the plague...:secret
 
Car products should NOT have Teflon in them. Most people who buy those products think Teflon makes the product better but it does not,

I have tried the non spray Dupont Wax and it actually looks great. It is a fantastic swirl filler, however it lasts maybe a week in the rain and then no more beading whatsoever. It is also like 90% filler as it dusts like crazy.

I have read somewhere that Teflon needs heat (a minimum of 375 degrees)in order for it to cure. This sounds like more hype than truth that it will teflon coat the car. However for $1 you probably can't go wrong since it is cheaper than a bottle of water!!!!
 
I really don't care about the wax containing teflon. I haven't tried using it yet but as far as harm being done to the paint, shine and slickness, what do you think? Is this a crappy product? I know I need to try it for myself and I will.

Teflon doesn't bond like they say on the bottle. If it did, how would you go about sticking a non-stick substance to, say, a pan?



It requires very high temperatures and very high pressures and some other conditions that are definitely never found in nature to actually be applied and cure. Teflon in a spray product is just a gimmick.

Regardless of the validity of the teflon argument...

$1 for ANY bottle of wax is good value.
 
Teflon has come under fire recently for being a possible health hazard. I don't think it does anything is car care products but make the product spread better.
 
I bought the Dupont Teflon wheel cleaner; also on a clearout (I think it was $1.99 a bottle.) It works, but I can't say that it has made my wheels any more dust repellant.
 
Last fall I bought a bottle of Dupont "Teflon Ultra car wax" (silver - not black - container) to see how it would hold up for the winter. I had already read several threads here which generally concluded that "teflon" was bunk, and any product that claimed to be teflon should be avoided. I think Dupont owns the trademark for "teflon" and uses the name, but, whatever is in their car wax/polish probably is not what is on my fry pan. Anyway, I finished half the car with Megs 26, and half with the "Teflon Ultra". the Megs won out in shine immediately, and salt and winter grime stuck to both halves the same. However, until now - way past the Cleveland winter - both halves of the car bead the same. I don't have a digital camera. Sorry. But I conclude that the durability is the same. This winter, it's going to be Collinite 845 over the whole car.
