Well, I just washed both my wifes car an mine and used the Eagle 1 Gel Wax w/carnuba & Nano Technology and I must say, I really like the end result.
The finish on the paint is as smooth as anything I have used recently and [just about] as easy to use as any quick detail type products that I love. The paint feels as though I clayed it first but, that's not the case. What I did was washed the vehicle very well, removing any extra road grime/tar from the winter. Even though the vehicles had been washed through out the winter(as temps permitted), they needed a really good hand washing.
Once dry, I applied the GelWax on an applicator pad(as you would with wax/silicone) and rubbed it into the paint but, wiped it off right away using a micro-fiber towel. It does become a bit harder to remove if left on too long but, not that difficult to remove if left on way too long. Outside temps were cool...About 40+ deg's F.
I tried on a couple of spots, just applying the GelWax and "leaving it there" while I did the rest of the vehicle. It comes off fine with a bit of mild rubbing. Doesn't hurt the paint if left there tooooo long!
A couple of coats might be the ticket but, I only applied one coat.
I noticed that while applying the GelWax, it goes on in a yellowy clear smearing texture look. The instructions on the back label says "do not let it dry to a haze". What I have noticed is, it does not dry to a haze anyway, just remains smeared! And it will not leave dried wax in scratches, stone chips or cracked paint as does your typical wax/silicone products that do dry to a powdery haze.
The feel of the finished product on the paint reminds me of "Yellow Wax" Carnuba. The finish is streak free and I look forward to using this product in the summer where the tempuratures are much higher than the 40+ degrees F of this past weekend. Also, I'd like to try it on my black Firebird FORMULA as I am curious about the streaking on a darker paint in the heat. I'm also curious just how this product will work in direct summer sunlight.
