That's why i laugh at people pay big money for some products wether there is cheaper that do as good a job.
Most of it is just hype or brand snobbery.

I enjoy the process of puck wax, but I must say there are some very impressive spray waxes out there, not tried bsd, but I'm liking Hybrid from anachem also I used speed seal from orchard before that and quite liked it as a spray too.

It's good if you're washing the car late evening and don't have time to do the whole car with solid wax

Honestly, try it. I use it when drying car off and the beading is unreal for ages after. You'd swear it had been waxed.

@CharlySkunkWeed you said there you use sonax when drying the car .?i had mine dried then spritzed it and wiped off?can you spray it on and use as a drying aid sort of thing and dry at the same time .if you can that would save me doing extra wipes over the paint and help avoid anymore paint damage as I’m not convinced the ceramic is doing very much at protection tbh.

Yeah i sheet off 90% of water then spray Sonax , then towel dry/wipe off sonax. Only thing I'll say is it makes the towel quite non absorbent next time you go to use it so i rinse it out after use and before use. I actually use a drying cloth rather than a full size towel.

The only way to get his stuff is direct from himself, no more third party sellers, I'm waiting to hear back if there's an issue with the website or if he has a new one, will update once I know more

Just a bump for this thread and instead of putting up a proper wanted post!

Would anyone have a tin of BH Double Speed Wax for sale? Wanting to give the new daily the works and was going to use it and then Hybrid to finish.

It's currently on amazon for £17.

Have to say its great stuff and per tin I will get a load of coats out if it. It's still going strong after the 1st go 6 weeks ago and it barely scratched the tin.

Might have to do that. Just was going to use it over the weekend as I’m off and looks to be dry. Have used it before and have always been very impressed. I do have a test pot of BH Auto Balm too which I could also use 🤔

Well after all the talk of the Bilt Hammer wax on here I ordered some yesterday and it arrived this morning.

View attachment 230387

Will hopefully get trying it this week. I have been using 50 Cal Penta wax for past few years so will see how it compares.
