Is Aquawax a pure sealant? I'm wondering about the compatibility of it with being layered over a layer of carnauba wax.
 
Im not sure if its a pure sealent. i dont think so but i cant verify thay.

I have however used it over a few waxes (zymol carbon, vw concours, and a few others) and have no bondinig problems.. i dont know if this is commnon but give it a shot
 
I will let you know that it has a relatively low durability ... shine, and slickness seem to be gone at first wash. Duragloss soap helps but probably adding back some similar polymers.

I had great luck with it by itself? Our Lincoln beaded for about 2 months with a single layer and slickness was good till later in the 2nd month.
 
I agree with Surfer. I top my car with AW to pop the shine just a touch more. The slickness lasts longer then any other QD/Spraywax that I have ever used. I get atleast 3-4 washes before the slickness goes away. Plus the beading is crazy. I love AW.
 
Again, I agree with the AW lasting a decent amount of time. IDK Scott, I know you aren't that big of a fan of AW, or spray waxes in general for that matter (durability wise I mean). I know you really like DG's #921? Do you experience any longer durabilty with this over AW?

I've never experienced any bonding issues with AW either, over a pure wax or sealant.
 
I got 6-8 weeks with AW just on polished paint with no other product used..Will say slickness falls at about 5-6 weeks,but beading is still tight at 8 weeks...I used it over Menerna PO85RD as a test on my son's car when I first was trying the DG line...washed 4 or 5 times in that time period and used Griot's soap...

921 is a great QD..it cleans real good..does nice on water spots also..but the protection is about 3 weeks..but not bad for a QD...

Haha. I was never a believer in spray waxes either, but from yours, as well as others' review, I might have to try this stuff.
 
I also get great results and good longevity with AW.

It's not something I ever use by itself. I feel much better using a paste wax or seant. With that said, I use AW every couple weeks as a topper. Not sure how much I'll be using it now, I just got 64oz. of Pinnacle CM. I'm sure I'll still use AW about 1 a month.
 
I use it over Souveran quite often. i assume you wash the car and it is gone, no?
 
I used AW of Natty's Blue the first time last week. It came out great. It looked better to me than NB alone and looked better than AW on top of various sealants I have tried it on. I get 2 washes out of AW before it doesn't look like I just applied it the day before. The slickness and beading lasts about 4 weeks for me and that's with washing my car once or twice a week.
 
i find its great for a boost after a wash, becasue its clear you can quickly do bumpers and door jamms without worry that you will leave residue in gaps

:iagree: :iagree:
 
I was bored last night, and since the spoiler that came with my car has now been removed and sits in a corner in the garage, I decided to do a little test.

I cleaned it up with some PB's Spray and Gloss and then did half in AW Duragloss and the other half in Crystal Mist.

On my paint the Duragloss actually felt smoother and had more of a "glow" to it. They both had about the same depth and showed the metallic the same. But that is just based on my observation. I use the AW after each wash because it is quick and makes it look good with minimal effort.
