my views remain as i said earlier in the thread, its great as an easy to apply wax and has great results... in the short term. The wax is too soft in my view so doesn't provide the same protection as wax like Collinite.

A decent wax like Collinite and then topped up periodically (and easily) with Harley wax and I think it works a treat.

This sounds like its a winner!

Yep, I agree. Its easily the most easy to apply and remove out at of all my lsp's. Love the fact that you can get it on plastics with no ill effects (in fact it enhances them subtly) but it has no staying power. Couple of days of rain and it's pretty much gone.

I really do equate it to a quick detailer wax!

So, I was reading/watching a bit on the chemical science of waxs/sealants....and apparently, they say that it is pointless applying more than one coat of wax, because the application of an additional coat literally removes the first coat.

Is this correct?

I’m not denying others don’t know better than me but I’ve always had much better results after layering wax.

I waxed over sealant once and the wax just couldn’t take to anything. I guess there was no key for it to grab on to.

Almost 1 year since the hype about Harly Wax.

Any updates on how well it's performed?

Mine is still in the box unopened as I'm still using the Gyeon products.

Yup, still using mine.

Me too. I like the fact that it is super easy on off and doesn't bother the plastics. Seems to last somewhere in between a quick detailer and a regular wax. It's usually pretty much gone in a week with a bit of rain etc.

Would I buy it again...probably not.

That is one benefit of this stuff, you can do a whole car in about 30 minutes!

Yeah, I put it on top of my regular collinite wax (which only needs to go on twice a year but is hard work applying) as a top up, as mentioned it doesnt hang around long but its quick and easy to apply so if youre the type that likes to wash weekly or fortnightly and wants a quick shine its ideal

If your car is garaged and doesn't go out in the rain and is not washed too often, then Harley Wax is OK. I still use is as a quick detailer on the Zed.

However, I never use it on the Discovery and the Mini that are out in all weathers and they get Black Hole and Natty's Paste Wax, which does last well.

Overall I think that the speed of application with Harly Wax is a false saving due to it not lasting.

I agree 100% , will not buy again but OK as a quick detailer. Comes off with the next snow foam.
