    Sorry I misread their website but I'm still curious. They claim a new "wax boosting technology" and I read that as wax. But the claim seems similar.

    I think you'll find a ton of varying opinions on cleaning supplies. I use Griot's speed shine and their liquid wax for between actual waxes. I'm happy, and I also love their interior cleaning. YMMV.

    I've been using the Hybrid wax for a few months now. Seems ok. Definitely easier to wash.

    I would highly recommend using sonax polymer net shield. It comes in an aerisol spray can. Super easy to apply and last months with regular washes.

    upload_2018-7-25_21-5-33.jpg I really like Hydro Shine.... It's a polymer....

    That is all I've put on the Taco from new..... Water and snow just runs off..... When it rains, it washes the dust, etc

    Highly recommend....:thumbsup:

    Snow just slides off all winter....

    If you like Chemical Guy's why not get their buttery Wax and some sealant then just detail spray whenever you need?

    Idk how good their wax is though, I use Adams Polishes stuff.

    generally to protect the paint.

    wax will help paint from sun, water, and rusting.

    most waxes contain a UV blocker to help prevent sun fading.....and as a wax, it helps prevent water from touching the paint directly, preventing water spots and etching from paint.

    also, as we drive, our paint gets nicks and scratches....wax will help fill those light scratches and swirl marks in, not only making the paint look better.....but also sealing the deeper scratches from water intrusion, helping to prevent rusting.

    Can you apply SONAX on top of a wax? Cause I use a washless wash and wax from Trinova. Really like Trinova's detailing line up.

    Can this also be applied to the windshield? Without it causing chatter or streaks? Rainx is ok, but would prefer a stronger repellent.

    Can confirm Sonax PNS beads are insane.


    Strip it, clay bar, and apply

    I think he means strip any old wax and sealant, clay bar it, and apply the new wax.

    Thank you. I was also asking, cause my windshield also has a wax/sealant applied to it.
