Now more than 48 hours after application I went and rechecked the slickness of the paint on both cars by swiping a finger across the surface. Her car (the light colored one & an '08) is quite slick. Mine, being an '04 is not as slick to the touch.

The slickness on both is just okay, nothing like an application of FK#425. To me slickness on the surface means a lot......critters, sap, etc., just don't stick readily. Perfect water beads have little impact on me. In all candor I would prefer a wax that sheds/sheets water and is killer slick to promote ease of cleaning.

Complaining? No, not at all just an observation. I could certainly apply #425 to both and have them killer slick but that would void the "test" of the new wax. I feel that I must test it on its own without enhancements.......for as long as I can stand it! That won't last long I'm afraid.

The look has improved on both but just slightly and that is subjective. Overall still pleased other than the lack of super slick feel. Now that it has cured the dust collection seems to be less severe. The Honda has yet to get out in the sun which may add the "final curing" needed to make the finish feel a bit slicker. The look does beat all the sealants I normally use other than Wolfgang. It offers the look and the slickness but has a short life. It's too soon to tell which I prefer yet overall but the look of the new wax is superior.
