Biggest Wax Test Ever

[Adam R]

i agree with ben. i have put 3 coats of JE on my car and have since washed it 3 times (been months since i applied the wax), and it is still holding on strong. i think i may need to re-wax the car next time i clean it as i dont want to layers to break down too much.

 

[FinerDetails]

slightly later than I would have hoped, but FD commitments must come first!

So, 8.10.08 - end ish of month three.

Drop outs? None to speak of.
On the being watched very carefully list as things aint looking too healthy:

1- Nattys White
2- Nattys Blue
3 - AG HD wax
4- Swissvax Onyx
and.....

5- Collinite 476s!! I'm gob smacked to say the least!

Lets see what end of Oct brings, I will try to be on track next time

interesting to see no drop outs this month..

very supprised at collinite 476s though, i thought that was supposed to be a super wax!

 

[AlpineWhite]

Not surprised to see the Nattys Blue is on the way out, 3 months is about what I've found with it.

Thought 476s was reputed to last 6 months!

Hey, when are you hoping to do this months review? Very interested in the up coming results!

 

[farz020589]

will be good to see exactly when the nattys blue drops out as thats what i used for my first ever detail of my new car really getting into detailing i have three coats of nattys blue on my car

 

[Nick_J]

nice mate, three coats! never put more than one coat on at at time myself. thats after a session of Megs Gold wash, Megs clay, Autoglym Ultra deep shine, Poorboys sealant, then the Nattys blue...... usually quite a long session!

 

[farz020589]

yeh its a long sesion but its worth it the results are great. I did my car over two days to spread it out a bit lol

review number 4!

Test start date 30.6.08. Reviews taken at 26.7.08, 1.9.08, 8.10.08 and today 1.11.08.

So today it was washed with Activo:

thanks to the number of sealants, I have had to go and invest in a long handled mop

Over the months I've watched these waxes moving and doing their work, and I was kinda hoping we'd be slowing down with numbers by now, the weather has become harder, so I'm finding time and effort more difficult. But, on with the show!

Drop outs? no, we are still seeing protection from those remianing, although I have seen an increase in the number of waxes which must be watched very carefully at the next review. These include:

NXT Paste wax
Victoria Concours
Nattys white
Nattys Blue
Z Royale
Z Glasur
Z Carbon
Swissvax Onyx
Swissvax Saphir.

All wxes now stand at four months durability.

some beading pics:

I have watched the Nattys and Onyx from last month when they entered my watch list and they have deteriorated slightly, but are still protected for now.

 

[Adam R]

i supprise at that list of waxes to be washed.. especially the swissvaw onyx.

how it the Rubbish Boys Original Edition fairing ?

 

[FinerDetails]

The Rb is still playing in the game

 

[Rubbish Boy]

The Rb is still playing in the game

Yeah, how about that. Made on my kitchen table and lasting as well as some of the biggest names in wax.

 

[AlpineWhite]

Good work!

 

[sneak]

Maybe a daft question: but if Is was to wax the car and then cleaned it pretty much every week with a pressure washer, would the wax come off?

 

[Adam R]

Ian...

you have missed this months update!
clean your horse box!

 

[FinerDetails]

OK guys, time has pasted, we have seen one of the coldest and longest periods of weather since 1986, apparently.....

Review, 12th January 2009:

The last review was start of Nov, and today was a huge task just to wash the horsebox, I used over 175 litres!

Test orignally started 30th June 2008. Reviews took place at 26th July, 1st Spet, 8th Oct and 1st Nov 2008.

After 6 and 1/2 months, the following waxes are still protecting the paintwork:

Autoglym Hi Def
Collinite 915 Marque D'Elegance
Nattys White & Blue
RaceGlaze 55
Swissvax Divine, Mystery, BoS and Concourso
Victoria Concours
Zymol Vintage and Glasur

So there you have it, my final list of what lasted over six months in very extreme conditions too.

I am sorry to say I shall not be conducting any further reviews, the time is no longer available. Due to the amopunt of failures and the appearance of the horsebox there is also now a need to get it all stripped back and restored to its previous glory.

Thank you to everyone who has followed this, and I hope it has proved as useful to you, as it has to me.

W O W great test mate

 

[SSimpson3]

i was told to buy Autoglm Hi Def from a friend but seing that it has lasted i think i will now

Makes the Nattys Blue / White look like an utter bargain considering it's only about 13 quid a pot!
