Title: Aqua Wax..... is it any good
Post by: griff16 on 22 May 2011, 17:16

hi im quite new to detailing and i don't always have as much time as i would like to on my car.
When i do wax my car i use Zymol wax, but i was wondering if  Autoglyms Aqua wax is any good for a quick layer when i dont have time to wax it properly or is it just a waste of time?
cheers dan

I've used it a couple of times as a quick thing and didnt find it too bad especialy if your pushed for time.

Yes bud it is good if you haven't time.....After the aqua wax has been put on go over it with a coat Extra Gloss Protection.... :grin: :grin:

you could use something like dodo juice red mist... that is similar to a very quick spray wax/detailer.. it has a lot of fans but I have never got on with it

there are other spray waxes available... there are also lots of shampoos with added wax content

For an off the shelf product it's pretty good stuff but the maquires alternative is much better from experience

cheers again for the advice, i always thought that shampoo with built in wax was a bit naff, am i wrong with that one.

it will make rinsing and drying the car easier but that will be about it... protection wise.. as a LSP its a bit of a non-starter
