We we're at a car show in Grants Pass OR. this past weekend and a red C5 was waxed with this product. I use all Mother's products but this car was beautiful. My C6 is white so I need all the help I can get. Does anyone have any information on this product?
Thank you for your input

Ardex products are geared towards the high-volume detailing market. Think "used car dealerships" and "quicky car wash" places. That Viper product is just a simple spray wax, if I recall. Nothing you can't get on the shelf at Walmart.

Honestly, 95% of a car's shine comes from the correction phase---the compounding and polishing. If the red C5 was super shiny, it is because it was well-polished. It wasn't because of the spray wax, to be honest. If you like Mother's products, keep using them. To get your white car super shiny, you need to get it defect-free. Clean it, decontaminate it, clay bar it, polish it. White looks best with a synthetic sealant or ceramic coating as opposed to a wax. You want the paint to look like it is coated in glass. Mother's has their new CMX Ceramic Spray that would look very glossy on white paint.

Is your car's paint in good shape? What is your usual detailing routine? Lots of experienced guys in here who can give great tips for getting the white paint looking great.

Our car is a 2013 white GS with OEM ZR1 wheels. The paint is in excellent condition I think. Feeling the surface I cannot feel any bumps or imperfections. Usually I dust it with a California duster and then use Mothers instant detailer, then with a DA polisher with Mothers pure polish and finally I apply Mothers Reflection Wax.

How about for black cars? when I was active in the scene about 10 years ago, Zaino was really great for black cars. What are a couple of favorites now? Scott

I took your advice and washed and clayed the car, then I polished it with Mothers scratch repair and waxed with Mothers Reflections liquid wax. I then applied Bead Maker. That 13 GS has never looked this good, I'm absolutely amazed.
Thank you for very good advice.
