Formula 1 Carnauba Liquid Car Wax, High Gloss Shine & Protection for Auto Paint, Advanced Micropolishing to Remove Haze & Restore Vehicle Paint, 16 oz

Love this product. Have used this product for years since the 90s and looking forward to keep buying more.

This is purely wax, no polish, therefore not abrasive. Could need to use with a Clay treatment or after using a polish treatment on the paint to remove impurities. Goes on easily, water resistant. Will edit in 3 months re: durability.

Formula 1 Carnauba Liquid Car Wax High-Gloss Shine It's a great polish that goes on easy and removes easy. It works by hand or when using a buffer/polisher. It has a noticeably high specular value (more shiny) than the Mother's brand I used as a comparison test and also the great Meguire’s Carnauba paste with Polymer additive product. I knocked a star off the because the residue requires additional labor to complete the work but will buy more, it’s a great product that does better than other choices. None of the above products shine as well as Klasse All-In-One Polish, 16.9 oz. brand. So in order of appearance if its really a showcase item, use Klass. It didn’t leave any residue and it's formula hides a lot of problem finish areas without much work. If it's an item you want to just protect from deterioration at a cost savings the above three can all do that, though Formula 1 claims a similar durability to the Klasse products of up to 12 months (sure and eskimos' enjoy snorkeling in subzero temperatures.). But longer is better by whatever the real-world measure ends up being. Klass products are permanently on my list of must-have products for no compromise maintenance of any fine finish. *The Klasse products require a two step process to apply the "all in one" for up to 6 months according to the label then their High Gloss Sealant Glaze available separately for up to one year of protection implying a pretty durable one year coat or a pampered object for one and a half year(s) or defer to the eskimo's opinion. Klasse High Gloss Sealant Glaze 16.9 oz. label rated for up to one year.

This product worked well on my car. It was easy to apply and was very easy to remove. It didn't have a bad odor and it made my car's finish look very shiny. I am very glad that I purchased this product.

Excelente

This was was very easy to put on and after dried, it came off just as easy as it went on. Actually I was very pleasantly surprised. Highly recommend this item!

Buen brillo

Very happy

Amazing car wax. Apply two coats and people will ask if you have a custom pain job. have used this was for many years.

Nothing beats a deep, wet Carnauba shine. "Hazing" or drying is key. Apply thin and let it dry for 3-5 minutes but in the shade. After that, it will easily rub off to a great shine. Trying to wipe off too early will give you a bad experience as the still-wet product will be too gummy and you will have to use too much effort to buff it off. Trust the product and yourself and wait! Avoid putting it on the trim (plastic and rubber parts) as it leaves a white residue. Chrome or metal is ok but applying on them is not really advised. Use specialised products for trim and metal. I dilute the liquid wax with a little water (the only liquid wax I know that mixes readily with water) in a 30 ml spray bottle (it gives a finer and broader spray than a 100 ml bottle) and use it as a spray wax! Just spray, wait and wipe off! I do not spread or wipe on the product with a microfibre cloth after spraying to eliminate the most time consuming and tedious/tiring step. I have a huge luxury sedan but waxing is done in less than 10 minutes with minimum effort. Monthly waxing is ideal but you'll be tempted to wax every week due to the convenience of my trick! Try and control yourself as there is such a thing as overwaxing! Fight the urge and only wax every 2 weeks! My bottle is better than using say Formula 1 spray wax as that is a "quick wax" and less durable. My trick uses only a tiny amount of water (5-10 ml; most of the work of turning it into a fine spray wax is done by the spray nozzle) which allows the use of the more durable and shiny liquid wax. UV protection (to prevent paint fading) is also greater than a prepackaged spray wax.

Always trusted FORMULA 1 brand since the past 8 years..Also trust 3M but 3M is slightly bit more expensive with the polish range for detailing..The wax polish is really good if you use it properly as directed but be advised if you really want a show car/bike finish you need to use other products from them to really make your vehicle shine..It can take care of minor scratches and NOT BIG scratches, for big scratches you need to buy the heavy duty compound like scratch off..Great basic protection and best if you follow detailing steps of Shampooing, clay baring (to remove impurities if required), compounding (for scratches, polishing and then waxing..BE ADVISED IF YOU USE SHAMPOO ON A WEEKLY BASES FOR YOUR VEHICLE THE SHAMPOO WILL DEFINITELY REMOVE THIS LIQUID WAX AND YOU WILL HAVE TO REAPPLY AFTER EVER SHAMPOO WASH, WITH NORMAL WATER WASH IT WILL LAST LONGER..If you want to avoid a weekly wax if using shampoo use a paste wax as its a heavier application.. =========================================================================================================== Here is my response from Matrix One.

I purchased two liquid wax, Formula 1 Liquid Carnauba Wax and 3M Premium Liquid Wax. I applied both wax on a car bonnet to compare side by side. I chosen a red color car instead of silver or white to know if the wax is Abrasive, and turns out that both the wax are abrasive. Abrasive means it contains some cleaning agents, so it end up removing tiny quantity of paint. It wont damage your paint in 1-2 uses but if you continue to use it regularly after many uses and may be in 1yr or so your car paint would look worse. Its written on Formula 1 bottle - "Formula1's exclusive micropolishing agents removes scratches and haze" which means it has some cleaning agents that remove tiny amount of paint when applied. while no such things were written on 3M. here is how I rated them on different parameters. Most Abrasive - 3M, it end up removing more paint than Formula 1 Water Beading - 3M Dust Protection - Formula 1 Layered protection - Formula 1, forms a layer of wax. Shine - Both Equal Life - 3M (2-5 Days), Formula 1 (4-9 Days) Cost - 3M (Rs. 210 for 200ml), Formula 1 (Rs. 315 for 473ml) Between the two, I would go for formula 1 but then both are abrasive so I wont be buying another bottle of it. now i would try some non-abrasive cream wax like turtle or waxpol.
