I bought this product for list price in a local auto store. Expensive (Amazon much cheaper), sure, but it goes on pretty thin, so the bottle should last a while.

It was really easy to put on and remove. I used a cotton applicator to put the wax over. It hazed over immediately and just a little pressure was needed to get the wax on the car. I didn't have to rub hard or anything. I waited just a minute (probably not even necessary to wait that long) and buffed off with a good microfiber towel (the Vroom stuff from Target worked great). I really shouldn't say "buffed", because I didn't have to press all that hard--the wax came off with light to moderate pressure.

I found this quite a bit easier to apply than the Meg's NXT wax.

The wax looks great. It has a deeper look to it than most pure synthetics, but also has some good shine to it. My car has a darker color and it added some depth to it. I applied it to my friend's black car, and it looked pretty wet.

It does have some cleaners in it, so it removed whatever fillers I had in my last wax and exposed the swirls a little more. If you are bothered by your car's swirls, you might want to consider a carnauba wax, as it will mask them better than this one.

I've had it on my car for 2 months now and the water is still beading nicely. I doubt it will last much longer, but I think that 2 months is not bad for a half-synthetic wax like this one.

Is this the top-of-the-line best-ever wax? No, but it DOES look great, and it is easy to apply. So I recommend it to all my friends who hate spending a lot of time on waxing their car.

I've used the product before and all I can say is that it provides 5-star results with 5-star ease of use. It is very amenable to machine application (which is what I do), but satisfying to remove by hand (which is what I do). It doesn't mess up your black trim or glass either which has always been my pet peeve with most other products. Buy it, you'll like it! It truly is the Big Easy.

Just bought this care wax after trying to use Ice paste wax. I applied the wax in 93 degree heat and high humidity. Yes,I was in the shade. The wax buffs off with little effort using a microfiber towel. I tried buffing with regular towels and the results were not so good. The secret with clearcoat finishes is to use microfiber. The first coat came out well so I applied a second coat to the hood,roof and trunk and WOW. You can see yourself and the finish looks like glass. I'm goimg to buy some of the Reflections Top Coat and use that next(based on an Amazon review).

Goes on easy, and wipes off super, amazinglyl easy, and gives a very nice finish.
I'll wait a few months to see how long it lasts, but the application was a pleasant experience.
One thing - they said it doesn't get the black trim white, but it looks like it does - the white is starting to show about 2 weeks after I applied it. It is possible that it is from my previous wax, but I don't think so since I covered that with Mother's Back-to-Black product.

This is an excellent synthetic sealant, and at the price being offered by Amazon, it's an outstanding value. It's extremely easy to apply and remove, and I have never experienced any streaking. I prefer it over Meguiar's NXT, which is a good product but can be finicky in application. NXT is also more expensive.

Reflections looks particularly good on dark colors. My car is black. Reflections gives it a deep reflectivity and shine but avoids that candy-coating look that characterizes some synthetic sealants. I have not tried it on a light-colored car.

Do not, however, apply it to plastic and rubber trim, and if you do get it on the trim, wipe it off. Reflections has light cleaners in it, so it will stain trim if left unattended.

Reflection is one of the best over-the-counter synthetic sealants out there. It is hard to find locally, but fortunately it is available through Amazon at this great price. I highly recommend it.

I expected this to work well, what I did not expect that I would enjoy its smell :-) It is not chemical, and not too fruity, just pleasant!

I had used Mothers wax about 20 years ago because it very good. Well it's still a very good wax. This wax followed by a coat of "top coat reflections" is just amazing. Glad I'm using it again and so is my car :)

I'm a first-timer regarding Mothers (shouldn't there be an apostrophe between the "r" and "s"?) car care products but, based on my experience with this, their "10016 Reflections Car Wax," I'm inclined to give a shot to other items in the Mothers Car Care line.

The Reflections Car Wax is creamy and--a completely unexpected bonus!--has a very pleasant ("un-petroleum") smell. Application was effortless; the wax permeated the painted surfaces of my 2011 Accord Sedan very nicely, it wiped off easier than any (and I mean ANY) other wax I've used in my 57 years, and the finish looks and feels immaculate. Also, unlike every other wax I've used before, the "Reflections" finish was absolutely swirl- and streak-free, and I didn't see a single particle of white, dandruff-like residue, as was typical with other waxes. Note: I wax completely by hand--no electrical or pneumatic equipment--using quality applicators and (lots of) quality microfiber towels.

Considering the ease of application and removal, the lingering pleasantness of the smell, and the silky-smooth polished feel, I couldn't be more pleased with the results achieved with Reflections Car Wax. Even if this wax does need re-application relatively soon, that's okay with me; the ease of use is truly remarkable, and price for more wax won't break the bank. It was a genuine pleasure to use this product, as opposed to hard work! And, if anyone reading this is wondering, no, I'm not a shill.

I'll update this review once I have a feel for how well this product continues to protect my stealth BMW look-alike automobile.

My neighbor recommended Mothers after seeing it on all the car shows. It is super easy to use; really, I can't imagine waxing being any easier. Also it really helps the car stay clean. Nothing (bugs, etc) sticks to it. Very pleased; will order again.

As other reviews stated. This product is easy to apply and remove. A great shine for the effort.
