I've tried every other bandwagon product so I thought I might as well try the aquawax as well. However, unlike all of the other products, aquawax really delivered. I'm almost convinced that it can't be offering any real protection because it was too easy to use.
I started off with a wash and quick polishing using Blackfire polish on the horizontal surfaces to get rid of some water spots. The vertical surfaces had 2 layers of FK 2180 and 1 coat of FK PW. I applied a few spritzes per panel and used a blue excel MF to work in. The first thing I noticed was the clear shine. It didn't alter the look on either the bare horizontal panels or layered verticle panels, only made them look shiny and wet. The strange thing was that there was no residue to buff. I waited as long as 15 minutes after application for residue to appear but nothing happened. I was sure that I applied it wrong somehow but it looked terrific and was very slick. I tried another coat applying more product this time. Still no residue.
After about 4 coats in about 45 minutes I was blown away. The product couldn't be easier to apply unless it applied itself and the look was exactly what I like on my flat black paint. I didn't notice any issues applying the AW over the PW but I guess durability will be the real test. However, since the product is so easy to use, I can't see how I'm going to resist application after every wash.
Bottom line is that this is the very first bandwagon product that I have bought that has lived up to the hype. I'm ordering the gallon size right after this post. :up
Pics will be up in one week since my DC is being loaned out and if AW is really a synthetic then it will need some time to look it's best.
