The blue velvet pro will last 3 months but not much longer than that.  Here's a few beading pics with just one coat of it, which had been on a few weeks (excuse crap iPhone pics)

We'll I've given in to temptation and just bought a pot of AF Desire (couldn't pass up that cheap Amazon price - damn you seabrook  :grin:).  When I get time to try it out and compare it to the DJ blue velvet pro, I'll post some feedback.

Its has been a week since I applyied both these waxes and already the Auto Fineese is starting to wear off. But the 915 is still going strong.

I will post up some pictures, and a video lateron.

Wearing off after a week :shocked:

How do you know it's wearing off?  Lack of of rain/water beading or have you tested it some other way?

I'll do a similar comparison test on mine next week with half AF Desire and half DJ Blue velvet.

The AF side is showing bigger beads if that makes sense?
