Default Aquawax

Gave it a try (its' quick and I don't have as much spare time as I'd like work and the steam season is looming).
Has anyone else used this stuff, the rain just drops off, seems a good idea since the pro scrub up.
Not bad for 153k.
Cheers

Its not really the wax that makes it look that good though, its the polishing.
Yes, the wax will help the colour show better in some instances, but mainly it will just protect it more than anything.
How long is it meant to last? Personally I use Collinite, which lasts for months!

Or as I would say 'you can't make sh*t shine'. It's just a siicone based thing that adds a short term shine....I use nxt liquid polish as a quick cleaner at shows but do the proper polishing every few weeks

You "polish" it every few weeks?! Or so you mean you wash/dry/wax it?
