I wouldn't use it

But I don't have any hard evidence to back up my reasoning

Mainly because I have just beyond the selection available in local auto parts. I use a glaze after polishing and before waxing. Then I use a polymer-based liquid sealant as my wax base coat for longevity (since it is a DD). I finish it off with a buttery wax designed for show room shine when I really want it. And in my experience, the products at AutoZone just can't keep up.

I can't sit here and say it's a bad product. Chances are it's fine.

as they say... say no to zaino



their system is too complicated. there are so many good sealants out there that are 100% easier to use and works.

I can't seem to find Consumers Report from a while back. It listed a sub-$3.00 wax which you can buy at PepBoys as one of the top 3 or something.
