Chemical Guys, XXX Hardcore Carnauba Paste Wax, Deep Wet Warm Gloss, 8 oz

First and foremost, chemical guys products are excellent choices for any detailer, and this wax proves it. I use this wax on my Harley Davidson ultra classic and my F150, both are black in color and look wet when I finish them up. I will use a good liquid shampoo and conditioner like chemical guys citrus wash , then I use liquitech finish first prep to start off with, clay bar, then radiant black light hybrid polish by chemical guys, then xxx wax, and top it off with V07 sealant by chemical guys, I have found this combination to be the best I have ever used. The shine and depth of the vehicles when finished are second to none, and the finish is smooth and slick like it's just been painted.I will be buying more of this for my other daily drivers, if it says Chemical guys, you can't and won't go wrong. This wax is easy to use, no white residue, easy on, easy off. I find it to be one of the best waxes at this price range and it seems to last a few months on my vehicles, I also use this on the Harley Davidson when I put it away for the winter, I uncover it in the spring, spray chemical guysV07 hybrid quick detailer and it looks like it did when I put it away. Use this wax sparingly as a little bit goes a long way. Once again chemical guys comes through with this wax as they have on all their products I have bought from them.

I like the way it made the car shine but it took two times to do that. It does go on easily but it leaves little bits of wax all over and for some reason it makes static electricity on the bumpers I never have had that with any product ever before but I do like it a lot just wish it wouldn't make little pieces all over the car of wax.

I layered this on top of Colinite Insulator Wax (which is the easiest wax to use ever), and it beads like crazy. Preferred method is to apply a second coat a day later (garaged) but since I don't have a garage, I applied two coats right after each other. Like any other wax, if you don't prepare the paint properly (correction and clay) you won't get the benefits. I recommend getting the red round foam applicator from chemical guys, my applicator (typical kind) had an edged seam around it and it kept getting chunks of wax stuck to it. The biggest issue I see is that when applying it sets very quickly and you cannot distribute it any longer as soon as it starts to dry. You have to work in 1' by 1' areas, any larger and it doesn't spread out like it should. What I did enjoy, is that once you apply it, you don't have to keep "working" it into the paint. Overall, it's foolproof, but I felt like a little doesn't go a long way. As for the depth of shine and the "glow" afterwards, I've seen a wetter shine from using Meguiars paint sealant, but this will last longer than Meguiars which is interesting. Perhaps using this on its own or over JetSeal would yield better results. I loved a streak-free shine on my 2 stage black SUV.

I used it to protect my headlight, after I clean the headlight ,apply this over the light. so far its working, my headlights looks good.

it beads up great but leaves water spots ..came in melted,stuck it in the fridge to harden up went on clumpy

Nice shine

Working at a detail shop, I've used a number of waxes. Nothing hand-made or $150 for a can, but decent stuff. Compared to what I used to use, Collinite 885, this stuff is pretty similar if not, a little better. Assuming you buff your paint and apply sealant, this will make your paint really hold that shine. It smells great, like piña colada but still waxy. It was really easy to apply and buff off. Barely used any, since I keep my car in pretty good shape and a lot goes a long way. This will last me a while and for the price, it can't be beat. Will see how long it lasts, since I use non-stripping soap when I wash it.

This product truly gives a wonderful shine that is deep and luxurious, and last longer than most other carnauba waxes that I've used in the past. I use it on a space grey color and the results are wonderful. It applies very easily (once you can actually get some on an applicator pad; more on this below) and also wipes off quite readily… something that most carnauba wax is NOT known for. As of late, I've been using a couple of different synthetic paste waxes that are pretty remarkable, but synthetics simply don't give as deep a luster as does carnauba and/or Brazilian waxes… hence the reason they have been an industry standard for eons. This product, as well as their Lava wax, is truly remarkable in that regard. While it does indeed last longer than traditional carnauba waxes, it still does not last as long as a synthetic wax. This is not a problem for me since I enjoy nothing more than spending a few hours of 'me' time with my car anyway. This gives me a great excuse every few months to do just that. With all that said, I will not likely buy this product again unless they change the packaging. The container is a fraction of the width of a standard size round applicator pad. It makes zero sense to have a paste wax in a container like this. Please follow the industry standard packaging when it comes to paste wax. There are decades worth of reliable products by countless other companies that still utilize the 'flat can' style packaging… I would love to see CG do the same. Because of how much more difficult it is to actually use this product compared to ALL the other competition out there… I simply cannot give this a rating of better than 2 stars. If the packaging were changed, I could EASILY give that at least 4 stars, if not even 5. I hope CG will take this into consideration. Once this detail is fixed, it will be a no-brainer for me.

First off, Chemical Guys Butter wax is amazing, but sure enough a month later, the water is no longer beading off the car, and the finish is not as flawless. This wax fills the gap - looks amazing with longevity. Into month 3 and the water is still beading off the car. As others have said, a little goes a very long way - if you use it lightly, it wipes off very easily (easier than many other long life waxes). It advertises that is layers well - I am really tempted to layer with Chemical guys butter wax I previously bought- but not until after winter. Too early to say if this lasts longer than Maguire's NXT wax, but happy so far.

Container is not as the picture, inside all the solids crumble of carnauba and watery wax carrier solvent separated from carnauba don't know it was the storage issues in hot summer or chemical guys batch is fail, not usable at all

Great product does what it says

Very good paste wax. Love the smell. Container is small so an applicator won't fit in, but there are CG videos on YouTube that demonstrate how to get the correct amount using a corner of an applicator. Listen, if the wax is applied thin and evenly, it will wipe off like butter, if you put too thick of a coating, it will be more time consuming to remove, but it's a live and learn type thing. If you put too much one time, you will learn and will never do it again. Overall great wax for the price, it outshines my ultimate liquid wax from Meguiars and lasts longer.

easy to use and perfection in a tub, no residue
