Harly Wax, fantastic

The above post has convinced me to jump into the Harley Wax frenzy. At £12.99 I couldn't refuse.

Interesting study in the "power of the crowd".

I will post pics when I've done one of the fleet - probably the Discovery first, but don't hold your breath. Too much going on in my life right now!
 
Went with it and just done the bumper , looks good although i was previously using the g3 wax and it looked very much the same . Spotted the £12.99 myself and bought another :thumbsup:

One thing I did notice is that the following morning I had a quick wipe over to remove any dust that had settled on the car overnight and I felt like there was a lot of friction on the towel. Certainly didn't feel glass-like slippy like I was expecting.

Great write-up. Sounds like it has a lot of the characteristics of a decent silicone-based sealant though. Easy on/off, low volume, super hydrophobic, good gloss but not much “pop”, slightly tacky feeling. It’s the latter characteristic that makes me want to switch back to a harder (paste) wax - any kind of fine dust in the air (or Saharan rain!) sticks to the paintwork and won’t come off until the next rinse.
 
:x paid £22.99 now £12.99 just my luck should have waited but as long as it performs I will be happy
 
Done my Z with this wax , not sure I like it ........... never been one for keeping a car clean ! But decided the old girl deserved a good clean. So clay barred her , AG paint restorer,AG polish then the Harly Wax.! She looks amazing however coz I have actually looked I’ve now seen every scratch n dint , even found evidence of filler and re spray on the front wing that I’ve never noticed in 2 and a half years !!
So whilst she looks super shiny I’m now feeling a bit pi**ed off :cry:
 
Harley Wax beading :thumbsup:

I got the same message. Have only just read it so maybe a bit late to cancel the PayPal payment, but any which way I will get the money back. My Paypal account is funded from a Visa card and I work for Visa! :)
 
Waxing complete, having acquired the services of my misses while I stood back and supervised :lol:

I seem to have an awful lot of stone chips on my bonnet, but otherwise it's come up very well

mmmm, that doesn't sound like a good wax for a dark coloured car. I'm going to stick to R222, I've not found anything better for a wet look on dark coloured paint. Really easy to put on, just as easy to polish, doesn't leave any white marks on rubber/plastic - in fact makes them look new. Leaves a super smooth, glass like finish which doesn't attract dust

Shouldn't this thread be in the "detailing + bodywork" section?

If mine comes up looking anything like yours I'll be very happy. What's your missus doing this weekend? :lol:
 
Hi Guys

Read all the good stuff about Harly Wax and went direct to them in the U.S.A and purchased a can. And they shipped it to my U.S.A address and then I get NZ Post to send it to me here in NZ.
Only to get told that at NZ Post

"Our warehouse have reviewed the MSDS and invoice that were provided and they have advised that this item is unable to be shipped as it is considered a flammable item. "

So can't get the stuff down here. Bugger
