I also have not tried Lusso but I use 50/50 all the time and really like it. It's also very easy to work with.

They are both very nice, you will be please with either nuba...

I like DWG topped with 5050 and I like the Lusso Revitalizing creme topped with the oro...

Is Lusso Oro suppose to be applied by hand??? what kind of beading it give you??? Or perhaps a little sheeting???
I apply the Oro by hand with a foam applicator, same as I do with the Pete's '53. The beading on the Oro isn't as perky as with the Pete's. The latter REALLY beads like an insane man, driving in a rainstorm will leave your vehicle absolutely DRY! Lusso just isn't quite there yet...

Well I have Lusso and 50/50... and they are both great waxes.... Lusso is like a mini-me version of souveran, not as much depth but more durability... almost like maxwax, but better.

I have tried 50/50 that much, but used on a single stage red and gave alot of depth and richness to the paint, i don't think one out weighs the other, cause they both have different applications to colors.

I applied both my machine btw and they look fantastic

I used the Lusso on my hood and one side panel. I personally thought it went on easy, came off easy, was a little surprised to see lack of outstanding shine, but i did whats recommended on the jar, and applied 2 light coats, that brought the shine up, i followed with Danase glaze, and that brought out the shine that much more. My car is a non clear coat paint, and i've noticed when i layer on a nuba, i get more dramatic results. So maybe layering is the way to go? In all fairness, the temp. conditions where not idea, mid 40's, so i may be a little premature in this analysis. I'll have to wait till the temp rises to do a more accurate appraisal.
I got this product and i was just chomping at the bit to do a little sample run, damn, being compulsive can be a pain sometimes.

i've got and used both pete's and 50/50 and like 50/50 just a little better, that's not a knock on pete's, as a matter of fact i just did a spit shine on my car with pete's and it came out great, but 50/50 to me is wetter imho. two waxes that i do want to try is lusso oro and bos.

I think you should have applied the Danase Glaze first and then applied the Lusso Oro on top of it. I suspect solvents in the glaze may have removed the wax.
