Is that the stuff in the wooden jar, not to cheap  :shocked:

I have tried the Hard Candy, does a good job as well.
It makes you hungry when you are applying it as it smells like sweets..  :laugh:

Yes that's the stuff, much better than AGHD but then its twice the cost so it should be  :cool:

I think you only get what you pay for when it comes to wax's??

What shampoo has been used on the car? If cheaper stuff has been used, this could be the cause.

I like AG HD but I use Blackfire wax on my car. It gives a great finish that lasts almost as long as the AG HD.
I love my GTD

clean the wax off (fairly liquid?) and apply some jetseal 109, then apply dodo supernatural and it'll bead like never before!

You only ever need two tools in life. If it moves and it shouldn't use Duct Tape. If it does not move and it should, use WD40.

the PH in the soap removes the old wax. Its a safe wax stripper.  In the US they call this "Dawn Wash" as Dawn detergent works
