They sell that at local shops right pep boys, track auto. How is the shine and how long does it last is the real test. I may check it out.

If it is anything like their VooDoo interior stuff it is definitely worth a try...nothing compares...especially on door panels and dash..I found it at WalMart!

Waxes just do not last long enough for me.

I really like the Klasse system.

Maybe I might not get the shine of a wax, debatable but I will even forgo the point, but I get much better protection and longer lasting too.

If you want to spend the big bucks then I think that Pinnacle Souverign is one of the best pure carnuba waxes out there.

For a shine just as good and cheaper..try P21S carnuba wax....

for good everyday products....I love Adams Polishes and waxes...easy on , easy off..no build up..does not hurt the black vinyl trims...

Good price at $12.99 off the website. Add some shipping and you are still under $20.00. Not bad.

I would be interesting to see how the shine and durability holds up over time.

I agree with p21s. I was using Zymol and switched to p21s for 1/3 the cost and identical results.

That being said, I now use polymers for their durability and haven't looked back.
the brand I prefer is Zaino.
