Default Played with Glasur

This morning I decided to give my car a quick wash and play around with Glasur. This applies and buffs off easy. I used the turle wax foam applicator. I purposely let the wax sit about a minute 30, and it was still pretty easy to buff. It would probably be hard if I left it for 2 minutes. I just applied it to the driver side of the hood and driver side fender.
















Here's Pete's 53 beading a week after initial application.




Pete's 53 side



I really like this wax so far. Gave a nice glow under the sun, and intensifies the flake more compared to Pete's 53. Of course the pictures don't show what I'm saying. I also got a bit dizzy looking at the reflections of the garage off my fender . It just made it really wet. I can't wait to use this on my gf's black camry..

Oh yeah don't mind the rims, they're pretty trashed. The only way to save them is to repaint them I think

I love it! I do have to say that Pete's hsa impressed with as far as durability is concerned. I am seeing how Lusso Oro will hold up using the same washing regiment.

It's always something: either your wax is a little bit of a pain to apply and remove and it will last a while, or it's a breeze to apply and remove but then it doesn't last very long.

Gotta love it...

Yeah Pete's is a nice wax I will of course continue to use it. Once I run out...maybe I'll get Victoria Concours as a replacement..
