Well, not quite, but I'm pretty damned impressed... and I'm not easily impressed by car waxes.
Here's the scoop. I wrote this product up on October 30th, 2005. At the time I made a point to mention that this is a pure wax with no cleaners; none of my applicators or mf towels picked up any pigment at all. Here's the link to my review. I did ONE application of Kit Carnauba Gold.
After that I drove the car for a couple more weeks, then put it away for December, January, and February. I started driving it the first week of March, and except for a few snowfalls I've driven this car 5 days a week, 78 miles a day for the last two months. So, it's been 6 months since I've waxed it, and 3 of those have been heavy daily driver use. I've washed the car as needed, usually with Gold Class wash or Clearkote wash. I have not waxed this car since Oct 30th... I haven't had to. The surface is still slick as wet ice.
These pictures are low light, but I think that actually helps show the beading of this product. I think you'll all agree that this is pretty good for what is considered a low line consumer level product; there are quite a few highly regarded products that would not do this. Granted, these are not "day after" type beads. But I'd bet they are comparable to Zaino beads after similar time and use.
I used the "medium" pictures for the post. To see them in full size, with much better resolution and more information, go to my gallery and enlarge them.
