This is my first Detailers product I have used and I must say it didn't disappoint. Considering AG sells all sorts of waxes ranging from $16.99 to $199.99 (well $999.99 statiscally that one is a outlier), DP sits at the $39.99 and usually can be had for $29.99 on sale, which is on the low side considering you get 8oz of wax. Please don't let the price fool you this wax is a diamond in the rough.

Consitency of the wax is very close to SSII and BFMS, then there is the scent :) Me and the wife where talking about the scent, so to her it smells like candy that she had in FIJI. To me it smells like a nice sweet dessert, with a hint if pineapple. I wouldn't recommend detailing the car on a empty stomach if using this. It smells similarly to SSII too.

Application.

This wax is being applied to my 2001 TL which is going to sit outside for the next 3 month in FL until I move back. The car won't be getting polished but last week after almost 4 month of no wash in snow and salt I washed it with CG citrus wash and then TARX/IRONX the car before a second wash and protected with BFCS and topped with new souveran spray wax (review of that http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum...pinnacle-souveran-spray-wax-2.html#post834626).

After driving 1000 miles since yesterday the car was pretty dirty so I gave it a traditional wash with Pinnacle Bodywork Shampoo.

Then I layed down layer of BFCS, top to bottom including glass, plastics, rims, and all trim.

Now the it was time for Max Wax. Application was straight forward like another Wipe on wipe off(wowo). I covered a panel at a time with a yellow applicator and a mf appicator, and wiped off with a gold plush jr.

I snapped some pic with my IPhone,but couldn't get any good reflection shots.
Here is my beauty 13 years and 174k later.

It defiantly made the pearl paint pop.

The paint could use a slight correction, but giving the age and car being white I decided against it and most likely I am going to have the car repainted next year.

This wax has defiantly found a permanent place in my detailing arsenal, it scream value, ease of use, effortless removal, and most importantly the intoxicating aroma.

Any specific question or something I could help with please ask.
 
Great review! From the pics, it looks as though if this wax has a buttery consistancy?
 
Wow Max Wax looks great on your TL. Nice job. Solid wax.

If it's anything like Fuzion or Souverign, it should be "buttery". Another fine PBMC creation.

You're just messing around with that comment, aren't you... Considering the year & mileage, she's in a great shape! Better than 80% of the newer cars I see on the road. Wouldn't surprise me should you decide against repainting after a correction. I honestly don't see anything close to needing a paint job. :props:




"Souverign" huh...never heard of it.

Jerk. :laughing:

SuperWax FTW

Yes very simliar consistency.

Thanks man, yea given the age it's great, but come next year it's going to be my project car. I wanna rebuild the engine at 200k too.

The hood and fender have been repainted but that was 10 years ago. The bodyshop did a crappy job, but I didn't know any better then. They didn't blend the panels and the clear is chipping on the bumper too.
 
Great review, Dhaval. Your TL looks in great shape.
 
I've used DP Poliseal and Max Wax on my black F-150 since I got it new in 2011. Also DP Wheel Glaze. I've been satisfied with the results, but I'm by no means a pro.

Just got another Max Wax and Wheel Glaze on my last order when it was on sale.

The wheel glaze is on my list to try next, and also the aerosol leather cleaner/conditioner.
 
Got some beading shot from my brother since the car is in FL.

Paint doesn't look bad at all.

Yea I know but I am my own biggest critic, the clear is peeling on the bumper and parts of the hood, but that is expected after 13 years or rock chips.
 
What should be the consistent of this Wax? I received one and seems like solid to the point that you can crack it. Is this normal?

That is correct. I find it best to remove the wax whole and then apply to my pad. I little goes a long way. To get it out of the tub with out breaking it heat the tub with a heat gun or blow-dryer.
