Harly Wax, fantastic

So can't get the stuff down here. Bugger

Why not use mothers Carnauba wax, there won't be much difference, if any, to the finish to your paintwork, prep beforehand is the key.

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

Become the Harly Wax guy for NZ and import a container load.

Set up a website and eBay shop and start selling it yourself.

There's obviously a market and it's the next big thing so I've heard!

Got a reply from Harly Wax U.S.A

That they are surprised at having difficulty shipping Harly Wax to New Zealand as they have never had an issue shipping Harly Wax to Europe. And they will be happy to issue a refund if I return it to them.

 

[grumps]

I have just cancelled my Paypal payment. I was surprised how easy it was!

Same here. It's on the Harly UK website for £22.99 including postage (http://harlywax.co.uk/buyharlywax.html)

Only buy this direct from Johnny via eBay or his website.... that price was too good to be true.

If you do manage to get some into NZ I'd be happy to split the cost 50/50 for half a tin .
Probably find NZ Post won't send it within the country either :thumbsdown: (unless you're in ChCh - don't think so looking at the pic you posted of your Zed before)

So been following this for a while. Big thanks to ph001 for the detailed review which answered many of my questions. I'm still wondering what sort of longevity the product has? Seemingly it will need to be applied more frequently as it's not a "hard wax"? Will it last a few weeks or a few months? Any further long-term feedback is greatly appreciated!

Gave the daily a well deserved clean if the weather holds Z tomorrow

It's some sort of non Z4, possibly a vehicle, has tyres.

No idea sorry.

Finally got round to using it today, just had to pop into work and thought I would take a quick pic, getting a bit near dusk, but very pleased with the result

 

[Swiftly]

Used it on my M240i, and am very, very pleased with the end result on Estoril blue as the paint is now popping. The products longevity will be the next test I think.

Hmm yes. It does seem to be. It’s got an S on the front? Maybe a Suzuki or something.

Or Seat :?

As an alternative, the Bilt Hamber double speed wax is excellent....easy on, easy off (but you must do it in small sections). The results are excellent and the longevity after 2 months is still bang on. The chap from Forensic Detailing loves this stuff and I can see why.

Made in the UK as well....brilliant product from a great brand!

I seem to be somewhat isolated in that I don’t get on that well with BH double speed. Yes goes on and off easy enough but i seem to get cloudy patches appearing after a few hours and have to go around again to rebuff. Does last well but doesn’t seem to pop on dark colours much at all. Well not on my Monaco blue anyway. I expected more from it given all the glowing reviews.

Yep, the clouding did appear on mine as well, so guessing you have to wait a good hour before all the solvents are fully gone, then do a light rebuff. TBH my expectations from a £20 wax are well met, it gives a strong glossy finish and that's enough for me...the flake on my Ruby Black does seem to pop a little better with the poorboys product, but they don't last anywhere near as long.

Harly wax?
Harly meh, more like.
It's ok. It's not the miracle wax that all the hype surrounding it would suggest and compares to any other carnauba wax.....

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 :wink:
I think I'll have to buy some of this now :roll:

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
