Mint your car review.
Initial thoughts
~ Look of wax: looks tough, hard, smooth.
~ Texture and feel: consistant, harder, melts nicely without clumps
~ Colour: Grape/Purple. Looks great.
~ Fragrance: A pack of sour skittles with a hint of lavender.
Application
~ How well it loads up on applicator: outstanding and consistent.
~ How it spreads: outstanding and very easy, leaves no chance for light marring.
~ Cure time: seemed like forever. The first application was by machine - ultra light layer. Waited 20 minutes. Was so oily it took forever for it to wipe away without smearing/haze. Second layer was by foam applicator - waited 30 minutes and had the same result. Third layer was by bare hand and this time I turned the overhead shop heaters off. Not sure if temp. had anything to do with or the type of application...but the lower temperature really seemed to help the curing/wipe-down. Came off like dust and left a great shine. Barely any oil residue.
~ Consistency of wax: outstanding.
~ Removal of wax: Costly to very easy - depends on application method in my case. (see “cure time” above).
~ Multiple layers: only did a single layer. Different application methods on different panels.
~ Application on bare paintwork/ cleansed or machined etc.: smooth, no marring.
Water Behaviour
~ Beading and sheeting: Beading better than sheeting. 5 star beading. 3.5 star sheeting.
Final finish
~ The look when waxed: crispy glossy. Ridiculous gloss/mirror reflections.
~ Feel of paintwork: Silky smooth.
~ Different colours of paintwork: used on black. Currently testing on a white C7.
~ Final thoughts/ ways to improve: Too oily? The wax seems perfect though. I would rather come up with a better way to apply than reduce the oils because the result is spectacular. Just need to keep playing with application methods to get the right shine in the right amount of time.
~ Does it do what its meant to do: Wax exceeded expectations. No question there.
