Bought and tried out this new "hydrophobic polymer blah-blah" liquid wax yesterday. One of the first waxes I've seen that says to apply to the entire car, then remove. (I tried both methods, using a more traditional approach on the Murano, and applied to the entire RX-8, then removed) Can't speak for durability yet, but it does shine well. However, removal isn't the easiest of tasks. I did both cars in the shade in the evening. On the Murano, it required significant effort, as it's a darker car. One the RX-8, it wasn't as bad, but probably because the color helps hide streaking a little better. It's definitely a very slick/slippery wax.

So, my recommendation overall? Unless it proves to be extremely durable, I wouldn't use it again based on cost and amount of effort required. I've used the NXT paste before and it didn't require as much effort. P21S is very easy to work with, but isn't long lasting. I may try the Mothers FX line next.

We used that on my car and it sucked bh time. I would never use it again. Talk about white dust that is hard to remove. The package said no white residue, yeah right! Now, the Mother's FX is some nice stuff. We used that on my red tahoe and was very nice. Gotta get some more.

Does it state if you can use a random orbital buffer with it?

I don't see why not, but I'll verify when I get home.

Yup, it can be applied with any buffer (DA or RO). Update, it does shine rather well. I just wish it wasn't a relative bear to deal with. Worth the effort is iffy, but the end result is still pretty darn good.

Thank you much, I'll give it a try.

I washed the car last night for the first time after applying the wax. After only using the natural carnuba variant waxes the past few years, all I can say is that this stuff REALLY beads, more so than anything I've used in quite a while. So it's a PITA to apply, but it does what it's supposed to.
