In side by side by side testing on the hood of my black sand pearl 2005 Tacoma, I was unable to tell any major differences between Natty's-Natty's Blue-XXX Hardcore Paste. All 3 applied/removed by hand displayed the same characteristics. (HMMMMM????) All 3 waxes produced a deep, wet look with plenty of gloss & reflectivity. It wasn't until I waxed my entire truck on 3 different occasions, using the 3 different waxes ( natty's week 1,XXX week 3,natty's blue week 5) that I noticed a slightly wetter look produced by Natty's Blue. HOWEVER......I believe my findings weren't accurate do to the fact that I waxed 2 weeks apart over the previous layer of wax! ( 3 layers of a quality carnauba will always look richer & wetter ) I love all 3 waxes & they're at the top of the list in my "carnauba arsenal". ( move over Souveran!) IMO, you should give the XXX Hardcore Paste a try. Similar wax-cheaper price!
