[Marine Blue]

I promised Len a review of the product after I’ve had a chance to use it. Curiosity got the better of me today and I decided to apply some to a small spot on the rear of my Spyder. What was going to be a quick test resulted in a full wax of the entire car . So here’s my review as promised…..

Some Context First….
Car is a 2011 Boxster Spyder in Basalt Black with 21k miles on it. I’ve had it since new and it’s been very lightly polished twice in its life with the last polish about 2.5 years ago. My fun cars generally don’t see much “weather” nor do they sit outside extensively so I would call this one pampered. With that being said, Carnauba wax is plenty of protection to prevent bug and bird poop damage since none stay on the paint for more than 18 hours. Historically I have used Pinnacle Souveran and Zymol Glasur, both of which are excellent products with incredible finishes.

Application
This is a very hard wax but oddly enough it applies very easily. It goes on as a very thin layer, thinner than any other product I’ve ever used. It also comes off very easily with minimal residue left behind. It does however seem to build on the clear bra edges easier than other products so you have to pay more attention when applying near and edge.

Results….
As we all know, 95% of a cars appearance is the polishing step or foundation for which a final finishing product is applied. So my paint was excellent to start with but it’s pretty hard to deny that this wax provides clarity and depth that I have never seen in any other product. The metallic flake in the basalt really shows through as well. The gloss also seems to improve as the wax sets up. Overall I’m very pleased with the results and the purchase. This tub will likely last me at least 10 years if not more as I’ll only be using it on my Porsche’s.

Is it worth $1500…..definitely not! But if you can get your hands on some for less than $200 and you’re at a level of detailing your cars that every small improvement pleases you then I’d say go for it.

Thanks again, Len for an easy transaction. Some pics of the results. I’ll try to add some when I get the car out of the garage next time too.
