Formula 1Carnauba Car Wax Paste - High-Gloss Shine - Polish for Car Detailing to Shine & Protect – Remove Haze and Paint Swirls w/ Micropolishing Agents – Car Cleaning Supplies (12 oz)

I have tried/used every wax single product stores like Auto Zone and the big box stores sell and I keep coming back to Kit Wax, or as it is now known, Formula 1. Concerned that my favorite automotive wax had been chemically reconfigured I telephoned the manufacturer and was reassured by a company administrator that the only difference was the new name. Well, not quite - they did make that nice, easy to use, application sponge a lot smaller so that today it is about 1/3 the size it used to be. The new sponge is more difficult to use, does not hold up as well and feels cheap immediately causing me to think they had similarly altered the wax composition too. However, as far as the actual wax is concerned I have not found any difference in ease of application, polishing after it is dry which can take up to 30 minutes depending on temperature and humidity, the durability of the wax film, cleaning properties and even the scent between Kit Wax and Formula 1. For all intents and purposes as far as I can tell by actual use and from testimony via a corporate administrator, the Formula 1 product is identical to the former Kit Wax product, except for the much smaller application sponge included with the wax when you purchase the can, not the bottled product which does not include the application sponge. For our use in NW Ohio, I have found the wax to last about 3-4 weeks on our daily drivers that are garaged each night. But, this is predicated on how you wash the car too. Detergents might reduce or totally eliminate the wax film. So, I always wash the car using cold water only. This does appear to extend the life of the wax film and also helps to preserve the shininess of the clear coat. Because the car is frequently waxed, only after it has been cleaned, there really is no build up of dirt/grime etc. I wash the car once per week and because of the wax film, all accumulated grime is easily removed. Interestingly I have found that this product can make a Plexiglass windshield look like it's new, eliminating those accumulated blemishes form normal wear. On Plexiglass the Formula 1 wax makes them sparkle like new and does not distort or alter the clarity of the windshield in any way. I demonstrated this on a friend's aircraft windshield and he was astonished how much sharper and clearer the windshield clarity was after the wax was hand buffed using a terry cloth towel, the same way I buff it on the car. I know almost everyone has their was product preference and how it is applied, etc. No argument there. This posting is just my opinion based on my personal use. Nothing more. And, I don't work for the company or have any association with it in any way. I am associated with a local university engineering college.

Great, good old fashioned product. You can either apply by hand - if you're crazy - or a polisher.Apply to cool surface, in the shade, small sections at a time. My black, 15 year old car has never had the luxury of garage lige and had gotten pretty ratty. After using other products to wash, compound, polish, I used Formula 1 to wax. The paint has a deep, clear reflection. Water beads right off. I used it on the glass as well.Although carnauba wax, of any brand, won't last as long as the new ceramic stuff, it's absolutely beautiful and dependable.

works great

This car made it crazy shinyeasy to put on and buff out

This product is great. Easy to apply and remove. Vehicles look great. The most difficult thing is removing the top!

For many years I've used a liquid wax made my a major premium brand I'll call "M". I got tired of wringing out the water from the applicator that I decided that there is something better out there. Before I used "M" I used to use a paste wax made by "T" and that was horrible. It stained plastic parts and very hard to get off. While looking on Amazon I saw this Formula 1 wax listed so I took the chance and purchased it. I feel like I struck gold with this golden wax. I waxed my car last week on a perfect day with twenty-two percent humidly. It was easy to apply and very easy to remove. It dries to a greenish-yellow color which makes it easy for me to see because I have a silver car. After waxing my car with Formula 1, I put the can in a plastic bag, sealed it, and stored it in my laundry room not in my outside shed. For my next shopping excursion to Amazon I plan on adding a couple of cans of his liquid gold to my shopping cart. By the way, there doesn't seem to be any strong toxic smell from Formula 1. I give this "F" an A+!

I expected it to help remove more of the small scratches. It is a very soft wax that shined well but didn't meet my expectations.

Easy great shine. My truck glistens.
