Well i just tried out my newest LSP purchase earlier today so figured i would make a review.

Product Information:
Package: 8 ounce hard plastic jar with a domed lid
Color: Buttery Yellow
Smell: Smells like meguiars consumer line cleaner wax
Texture: Soft Wax that melts like butter with body heat.
Type of wax: Carnauba and polymer blend aka hybrid
Price: 19.99-24.99


Pros:
Easy Application
Easy removal(for a carnauba based product)
Awesome slickness
Excellent DOI
Awesome gloss
Great Scent
Fairly priced
No dusting
Low static

Cons:
Jar opening could be bigger to fit a hand applicator pad.


Comments:

This wax i bought purely as a "beauty wax" for my car, i did not purchase on durability i just wanted to try something different i don't hear a lot about as well as just bought it for the look as i read it was a very nice look.

The application is very easy really just glides on and goes the distance before needing to reapply more wax to the pad. however, it is carnauba based so the removal will not be as easy as a sealant but even if applied too thick its not hard to remove just takes longer. definitely not along the lines of collinite 476S in terms of removal effort!. if you apply it as the directions state and that is a thin coating its an easy wipe off. what makes it even better is it does not dust when your removing it so you need to use a new side of the towel often. one thing i did notice is the lack of static that is on the surface after final wipe down, with most other waxes/sealants i have tried the surface has a static charge.

This wax really surprised me in how it looked, i was not expecting to notice a change in look but i'm glad i was wrong! it just really looked great, has the best of both worlds look just a very nice gloss to the finish. and the slickness left behind is just as slick as a sealant, thats another surprise for me judging by wipe off meaning it has a fairly high percentage of carnauba in the wax and as you all know carnauba don't have that sealant slickness...

All in all i am very satisfied with this purchase! i do not regret it one bit...if your just wanting a wax for good looks give this one a shot.

Now onto the pictures!

Thank You for viewing my review, i try my best with these reviews. I am not a writer, nor am i good at writing i just simply try to do my best, i can admit my grammar and such is not the best so as long as you can understand what i'm typing then i see no problem with it.
 
i honestly don't have any other hybrid paste waxes to compare it to...all my other pastes/waxes are carnauba. im working on getting some different paste waxes to use... but something within the mile of closeness to the look of it would possibly be megs gold class plus liquid....but its still not even close to the same
 
Thanks for the review! I have a pot of this on order, should receive it in a week or two.
 
Interesting review, I haven't really considered this product until now. Thanks for the great info!
 
XXX is one those truly underrated products that not only look great but prove that you don't have to break the bank to get a show car result. I'm surprised it took so long for somebody to "discover" this little gem. It looks great over Blacklight.
 
XXX is a great product, I use it over Blacklight all the time, then top with V7!

Great review! Thanks, Matt.

Did you let the wax sit and dry/haze, then wipe, or did you wipe it off right away?
 
Like it was said, proves you don't have to break the bank for a great product and with it being so easy to use, well, you can wax your car once a month with that stuff, good review!
 
thanks for the positive input guys!, this wax you do let haze says to wait 15-20 minutes before wipe off, i let it sit for about 45 minutes as i usually do with a new wax, part of my car was in the sun as well and had no issues at all, in fact you can apply the product in direct sun says CG....this product just caught my eye, i bought it on a whim as i was looking for a wax for my personal vehicle, everything i order is for my customers but this time i treated my car to something new! i was honestly surprised with the wax, being at 20$ for 8ounces is on par with crap nxt in terms of pricing and blows nxt out of the water...this will be one i will stay using, i do wish the jar was a wider jar so wax applicators could fit in with ease....for the 20$ for the product, take a chance on it.
 
I did notice one thing when i went to go out for a drive, THERE WAS NO DUST!!!! nothing stuck to my car like every other product i tried, so must really mean has no static charge and wont attract dust, that is a BIG thing for me....so made this a better purchase.
 
Thanks for the great review Matt! I didn't realize this wax was so economical. If I didn't have too many products already on my shelf I would buy some. LOl

Thanks again!
 
LOL corey, you have enough product to detail all the post-apocalyptic cars left on the face of the earth! LOL if you uh ever need to lighten your load ill rent a 12foot u-haul, might fit 1/4 of your product in there!.
 
nice review, looks like ill be adding this to top off BlackLight. Cant believe the price either.

Thank you very much for your thorough review!
Despite owning several waxes I am more a sealant guy, mainly because of the dust issue. I will probably give it a try after reading this.
 
Nice review! I'm going to have to get some of this stuff on my next order
