Product Information

Natural waxes only come in paste form, and although they take extra effort to use, they produce the best results. The catch? They tend to be more expensive, and also only last for six to eight weeks.

A car wax simply protests your paintwork by creating a barrier between your paintwork and dirt and grime. Unlike car polish, a wax won’t correct paintwork. If you’ve got swirl marks and other paint defects, then you’ll need to use a polish before applying wax. Double Speed-Wax is not an abrasive polish, if your paintwork is faded, feels rough or has not been polished for a long period it will be necessary to use an abrasive polish and/or paint clay before application. It’s remarkably easy to apply and remove which we think is a really important point for any wax. It’s not a fun experience removing paste waxes which have bonded to the paintwork like cement and believe us, there are plenty that do that. Paste wax will take the longest to apply but will give the best overall coverage. It will provide a much deeper shine and finish but can easily eat up an entire afternoon. Adding a layer of car wax to the paintwork is highly recommended as it helps to improve the paint’s finish and provides much-needed protection. Whether you wish to apply wax by hand or by polisher, all of our recommendations are more than ideal. They also provide 3 to 12 months of protection and are also suitable for all automotive paint finishes too.Thoroughly wash vehicle with hot soapy water using only salt-free automotive shampoos. Do not use wash and wax products. Dry vehicle using chamois leather or synthetic equivalent.

Now, how about liquid wax? Well, you can technically do it by hand with an applicator pad as well, but an electric polisher will make your life much easier. If you do have one of those, what you want to do is as follows: I can’t really comment on longevity but I’ve heard it is decent. However imo the only good thing about Bilt Hamber DSW is the microfibre cloth that is supplied with it. A. This is a really common question and one that’s often incorrectly understood. Car polish and wax are two completely different products which are designed to achieve very different results. A car polish is designed to remove imperfections in the paintwork such as scratches, swirl marks etc and attempt to correct the paintwork. A polish is abrasive meaning that it has cutting properties, the polish will actively cut away a very very thin layer of the car’s protective clearcoat to remove any defects.

Synthetic wax is also referred to as paint sealant. Making use of synthetic polymers that bond with your car’s paint to create a tough layer of protection.

My dad has always looked after his cars but is of an age where he can't physically undertake a multi-stage detail wash to ensure the car is properly clean before applying the wax. So doing the best he could on a Silver Mercedes B Class and Blue Honda Civic, he noted the wax performed well but didn't last for very long - despite in some instances having applied 3 layers of wax per car! 2 to 3 weeks saw an almost complete degradation of performance. This, combined with the consistency of the wax which I found to be much harder to work with than R222's Concours Wax, means your fingers ache after only a few minutes. If you live in an area with lots of sunshine, you may want to apply a wax every few months to ensure maximum protection from UV rays. As discussed earlier, UV rays can severaly damage paintwork and be extremely expensive to fix. The same also goes if you live in an area of heavy rain, the wax will provide protection from road grime etc. Car Wax FAQ’s Onto the wax stage...BH's Wax comes with a large decent quality microfibre cloth and a fist-sized sponge applicator. The first thing I noticed when applying the wax was that the sponge applicator is useless. It's too small and too soft.
