IWSTI Addict since: Nov 2006 | Since i'm on parental leave, and when the boy is sleeping, I pretty much have nothing to do. So, I decided to try out a couple of waxes I had laying around in my garage. This test will be test the: -glow of the paint -feel of the paint -durability of the product -The panel will be left OUTSIDE for a certain period of time, in the sun. -The panel will be washed at least once a week with some Poorboy's slick and suds (any soap that won't remove the wax / sealant) -Rate by smell (blame jph ) To see what I've done to the panel, see thread Makita 9227C and some menzerna All panel was prepped with: -1. Menzerna SIP /w lake Country orange pad, Makita 9227C @ 1800 ~ 2000 RPM -2. Menzerna P085R /w lake Country white pad, Makiate 9227C @ 1200 ~ 1500 RPM Type of wax used: -1. Meguiar's NXT liquid wax -2. the "famous" combo Klasse All-In-One + P21s concours carnuba wax -3. Zaino ZFX + Z1 Each product was applied TWICE. -1. Meguiar's NXT liquid wax -glow: It has a "warm" glow to it, almost looks like shiny plastic. -feel: The feel is incredibly smooth. -durability: results in a couple of weeks. -smell: It smells like some detergent ... -2. the "famous" combo Klasse All-In-One + P21s concours carnuba wax -glow: Doesn't have this "warm" glow that the NXT has, but it's more shiny. -feel: It feels "glassy", I wouldn't say it leaves a nice silky finish. -durability: results in a couple of weeks. -smell: It smells like any other carnuba wax? -3. Zaino ZFX + Z1 -glow: Same glow as the NXT, but the paints looks "richer". -feel: I thought the NXT was silky, this one is beyond silky. -durability: results in a couple of weeks. -smell: I could probably drink that bottle ... yum Thanks for looking.
