Been lazy lately and have been using Aquawax on my daily driver, which now stays outside. Any idea on longevity vs a carnuba?

1.) I consider Aquawax to be a Sealant—
one that has pretty good longevity/durability,
in and of its own self.

2.) From my own experiences, Aquawax
appears to increase the longevity of existing
paint protection (LSPs)—including Carnaubas,
believe it or not!


•As such; and to surmise:
-Aquawax will last the longest when used
as a “topper”.

-[OK, go ahead and throw in: when also
used as a ‘drying aid’ over existing LSPs.] :D

It's so easy to use, I don't see why you couldn't just use it every other wash and be ok. What kind of DD, and what color? I have a neighbor with a bright red Jeep that is outside almost all of the time, and he NEVER waxes his vehicles. It looks fine after owning it for years, believe it or not.
 
I agree about using it every other wax. I would like to add try it as a drying aid as well. Even though I don't need another spray I'm getting some AW next time I order something, really miss that product! From the smell, ease of use and the extra Shine 30 minutes later, it's a winner and long time forum favorite

932 mixed as a detail spray actually lasted longer than pure Aquawax in a long longevity thread running on here.
 
I still don't know why people sleep on 932! This stuff is so good.

I use the QD ratio for my truck and I love it. Much slicker and glossier than Beadmaker IMO.
 
Unfortunately, my 2014 z51 now resides outside, for now, and yes, she is black

Isn't this Aquawax 952 not 932?
 
Duragloss RW was the original base for FrankenDetailer

932 is the no-rinse wash and wax. It is very slick when used as a QD. Some of us have known this for decades.

Yeah I don't have much say in the game but I've went back to aquawax from years of trying other stuff. I have some 932 here and still haven't tried it yet. I will here soon .

What was the ratio for that again? I need to mix up a bottle :)

1 gallon of distilled, pour out 3 ounces and put it aside for something and add 2 ounces of DG RW and 1 ounce of KSG

I have found after many years of using 932 that I don't have to be careful with the dilution ratio, for me a rough estimate works just fine.
 
Ordered the DG combo kit because of this thread

For me its the opposite. The QD ratio for the 932 when too rich does become a tad hazy and bit tedious to completely buff away.

The DG bottle calls for roughly a 4:1 ratio but I think 5:1 may be better suited.
