So I got bored and decided to try some.
Anyways, there are two things that stand out in my mind from using this product. One is the bottle design. They have included a little plastic piece on the opening which helps to restrict the amount of product coming out and it works wonderfully. All liquid waxes should have this feature...
The second thing that stood out in my mind was the ease of applying the product. I haven't tried using that many waxes before but TW is much easier than any that I've used. The products I've used and serve as a comparison are Autoglym SRP, DG105, and DG 101. TW beats all of them hands down.
The following are my impressions:
Test Conditions
Sunny-esque weather
a bit breezy
paint was warm
70ish degree weather
red car
Keep in mind that I only applied it to the passenger door and didn't do the whole vehicle.
Smell
It smells quite good for a liquid wax. Probably the best smelling wax that I've used.
Product
Its a white liquid thats a little bit runny but overall, not too bad. The weird thing that I've noticed is that once it is on the paint, it becomes greasy. I've never seen this happen before. If you apply too much, it can harden into a white residue that normally occurs when you use waxes(maybe I didn't apply enough?). A little can definitely go a long way.
Sit time
Not really to sure about this one. I could do the finger swipe test almost immediately after application but thats been the experience with most of my waxes anyways. I left it on for 20 minutes and it made no difference so I got impatient and buffed it off...
Slickness
It is more slick than 105 but not quite as good as 101 which is weird because supposedly, 105 is slicker than 101 but my findings are the opposite. All of these are slicker than SRP.
Looks
To be honest, I didn't use it on a properly cleaned surface. I washed the car and dried it and then put on TW. The car already had a 3 month old application of DG105 which may or may not have effected the final looks.
Anyways I don't see much of a difference but I suppose if I squinted really hard, I noticed that it dulled the reflections a bit but that could also just be my imagining things. I've actually put on two layers to see if it makes a difference although there was only about 1 hour of cure time between the two applications.
Protection
Not really sure.
Durability
Again not really sure. Isn't protection and durability the same thing?
Beading
No idea
Value
Extremely affordable for what it offers which so far is extreme ease of application and no worse than average looks. I can easily imagine you can wax a car 20-30 times with one bottle.
Overall
Seems to be a decent product, no idea how long it lasts or beads though. I just wish all waxes could be applied this easily...
and lastly, my question
Why does this product leave a greasy finish as I apply the product? Is there any other LSP that does this? I imagine its partially why it was so easy to apply.
Thank you for your time...more reviews to come
