Last weekend I finally had the opportunity to try out and test Son1c's new Protowax 93. I've been a supporter and fan of his waxes since he first started releasing them. Today I will be comparing Protowax 93 to Carnaubavore.
First things first I cleaned the wheels and tires and then washed and clayed the car. After that was complete I performed a light correction via HD Speed. This removed the minor swirls and scratches and added some gloss to the paint. I wasnt expecting there to be much more improvement over the look of the car with the wax but I was wrong.
Like all off Son1c's waxes a little goes a VERY long way, it smells delicious (cherry starburst) and makes for a pleasent experience when waxing the vehicle. I primed the pad with his wax upon each panel. It will haze within a few minutes. Application and removal were both a breeze...MUCH MUCH improved from Carnaubavore IMO. With Protowax 93 i didnt have to spritz it with a QD to aid in removal as I have to with Carnaubavore. Also application is a little smoother thanks to the buttery soft texture of 93. Its a soft wax but not mushy and one swipe with your finger across with it and it just melts! The biggest improvement I got from this wasnt any more gloss....that pretty much stayed the same from using the HD Speed but the depth/richness and flake pop it created was fantastic! I would say you have a homerun Drew!
