(More customer reviews)I purchased this product in part due to a verbal recommendation from my local auto parts store. After using a clar bar to thoroughly clean the clear coat on my two black cars, I got on with the waxing. I haven't seen the commercials as other reviewers have noted, so I can't speak to how easy to use it is compared to how they sell it in the commercials. My focus for buying this product was to get something focused strictly on shine and gloss. The clar bar treatment got the clear coat super-smooth and clean, so a cleaner wax wasn't needed and I wanted more gloss and shine. This product was marketed clearly as a gloss and shine wax, with little focus on being a cleaner.
If you haven't used a clay bar system to get your clear coat super-glass smooth, I highly recommend that first. I used Mother's brand, but Turtle Wax Ice makes a similar product system. Rub your fingers across your paint - if it doesn't feel ultra smooth (like a really clean windsheild), then go for the clay bar first and get your clear coat super clean - your wax job will go easier and you'll get much better results. Your needn't do the clar bar thing before every wax - this is the first time I have used that and my cars are 2-3 years old, but it made a huge difference worth telling others about. ANYWAY...
Overall, this product has a couple of key advantages over the traditional paste or liquid wax. First, you can use it on just about everything - just avoid the glass and plastic headlight lenses and everything else it works well on - black bumpers, window and door trim, and so on. It shines them up fine. As others note, it doesn't produce near the amount of white powder, so I wasn able to liberally use this around all trim, side mouldings, badges, windsheild washer sprayers, and other bits without worry. Everything cleaned off nicely.
The instructions say you can use this product in full sun and you don't have the traditional issues with a paste wax. This is true, but like any was, the more you let it dry, the tougher it is to remove. But I would highly recommend a clar bar treatment first if your paint feels gritty and the wax comes off cleanly no problem. A pack of terry towels at Target or Walmart is only about $8 and worth it - just use two of them...one for wax removal and one for polishing up to a high shine. When the removal towels gets laden down with excess wax, just swap in a new towel and keep rolling.
Overall, this product goes on more easily and removes more easily than traditional paste was, and provides a much nicer shine. But like others have noted, it still requires the usual amount of work to produce good results. But if you have realistic expectations, this product
