Harly Wax - Yellow Brazilian Carnauba Wax

I use this stuff on my integrale whenever I take it to a show, it is very very good.

Its easy to apply and easy to remove and gives a great shine that beads water for months.

Re: Harly Wax - Yellow Brazilian Carnauba Wax

I've not seen it but the first guy the one in the UK with the 1974 De Tomaso Pantera GTS is supposed to be amazing, i few guys I know off the EVOFORUM have seen it in the flesh and say its the cleanest car they have ever seen!

I'm going to give it a try on the Cinq see how it is with a poorer paint finish than the one on the integrale.

Re: Harly Wax - Yellow Brazilian Carnauba Wax

That stuff looks very good might invest in some before shows....

Does it help keep the dirt off at all... i.e clean it drive to a show and still nice and shiney?

If you're driving to a show what you need is one of these http://www.raceglaze.co.uk/ go to wash and polish section and scroll down to the Arizona duster as it will remove dust and light dirt after a drive.

PS the rest of their stuff is good as well.

Re: Harly Wax - Yellow Brazilian Carnauba Wax

I will buying this and trying it out as on a load of forums people have said how good it is. Beware though that in warm weather it can melt, and it is sticky so will attract dust like a flipping Dyson!

As for "100% Carnauba Wax" - I remain sceptical, as it must be around 50-60% wax. 100% Carnauba wax means you will never be able to apply it as it is rock hard!!!

However, as I said before, a lot of people have tried it, and are impressed with the results. I will be buying a tin or two and will post up the results when I have tried it.

Re: Harly Wax - Yellow Brazilian Carnauba Wax

Ok I tried mine about a week and a half ago, after ordering off Johnny Woods on eBay. This guy is totally amazing, so I was glad to pay a few quid extra to a chap who more thank deserves it.

Anyway, it arrived in short order, and I dutifully washed and totally blitzed my car so that it was dirt free. On went the wax, and just with the first coat the results were stunning. I decided to apply a second coat, but it was as spectacular, but that is probably because the first made such a huge difference. Anyway, I shall be building up the coats every week now.

Harly Wax does exactly what it says on the tin. I shall be ordering a few cans.

Re: Harly Wax - Yellow Brazilian Carnauba Wax

Not tried this yet, got some P21s along with truck loads of other stuff, but heard good things. I'm personally not convinced by the idea that you can layer wax. 2 coats is a good idea to cover the bits that were missed first time. After that I think you're wasting your time. A regular monthly wax is probably a good idea, if you can be bothered.......
