I can see your problem Chris, you appear to have an advertising hoarding stuck to your bonnet

Arf.
It's the 2 units next door to my unit.
I use their frontage to dry and detail the zed and other cars after using the car wash down the road on the weekend.
Wouldnt dream of sullying my own well-kept frontage!
One of those guys supplies chiller cabinets to takeaways and deli's and drives a very nice Bentley convertible.
I'm definitely in the wrong business.

Yes, going to strip the Zed to her birthday suit and show her some Harley Love! Will send pics post bath...............

Did the Mini with the Harly Wax today, having given it the once over with a clay mitt and then Poor Boys Black Hole.

The plusses are that it is one of the easiest waxes to apply and buff off and does give a good shine. As other have said it has a rather strange texture - notes of paraffin I thought. Anyway, it achieved the objective of producing a shiny Mini. The first pic shows that the Zed needs doing, but the Discovery is next in line:

Wish our R50 looked as tidy as yours... even tho yours is slightly newer
I think I'll have to buy some of this now

Mine was registered in Jan-12, not the he age that the plate suggests. Mrs Sarah R bought me, Rick M R the plate - SR to RMR

Oh right, it's quite a lot newer then (almost 10 years!). I knew it was a R56 hence my wink!

I am having doubts about how long Harly Wax lasts for. I did the Mini 3 weeks' ago and the Discovery last week. I washed them both today. The Discovery beeded very well, but not the Mini.

Time will tell, but the longevity could be the trade-off for the ease of application?

Any other comments on this aspect of Harly Wax?

[mr.tourette]

You're right it doesn't have any longevity... I think you get a nice result with it but in all honesty its not really any better than my trusty collinite 476s and that stuff sticks around for 6 months at the very least but a lot more effort getting it applied

[ph001]

Agreed. I’m a month in on mine and not much of a trace. There had to be a downside for something that is so easy to apply and remove.

I've been using this for a few weeks now, it's a Carnuba paste Wax and it's bettered any other wax i've used by a country mile (Meguiars Ultimate NXT paste wax and Poor Boys). It seems to change the colour and give the car a warm, deep and wet finish to it. Dead easy to apply and wipe off too, which is a bonus. I gave the car a machine polish not long after i bought it from a member here, so i want to keep the paintwork in top condition.

Well worth the £20 a tin.

Oh Man.... I bought a tin of this a couple of weeks back, based on this first post... Didn't know it had gone viral!!! I just popped back to say thanks and post a pic or 2... Anyways... It's done a super job on 2 of my cars now!

Agree on the longevity of this stuff, beading is noticeably reduced after a few weeks. I'm also convinced it remains as sticky as when it first goes on, I've never had so much pollen and dust sticking to my car (although this could just be the very unusually long warm period we've had).

Im going to use Collinite next time to give it some decent protection but think will probably still give it a coat of the Harly wax from time to time to give it some shine between "proper" waxes.

[ph001]

I think its best to think of the Harley almost as a quick detailer wax. It goes on and off almost as quick as a quick detailer spray and seems to last about the same. Have I just invented a new genre?

If you want to use make the wax/bead last longer then use this between waxes.

I also use Megs QD (but not over Harly wax, I've been using Meg's Ultimate Fast Finish wax, great stuff IMHO) and it does seem to help lock in the finish for longer, so would also recommend it.

So what do we all think of the Harley wax after a summer of using?

[montymog]

have been using poorboys for years but on seen yours i got to give it a try
