I researched just about every vehicle wax out there and found Mothers Carnauba wax to be the best all around wax, all things considered (price, application, durability). I had recently purchased a 3 yr old used vehicle that had sat outside most of its life and clearly hadn't been waxed or even regularly washed. After a thorough washing using Dawn dish liquid (my favorite for vehicles if wax preservation is not an issue), I began applying this wax using a moist circular application sponge. I was surprised to learn how stiff the wax was in the can--almost like candle wax. This stuff is definitely not "whipped"!! However, surprisingly, it went on easily as I twisted the applicator into the contents and spread the glaze on to the roof of the vehicle, allowing it to dry for 15 minutes or so. A little on the sponge seemed to go a long way in covering the metal. Now the REAL TEST, imo: How easily and completely does the residue come off? For this reason alone I give this wax FIVE STARS! I am so used to oily based waxes leaving shadows or streaks after applying and rubbing off, but this stuff completely removes with just a bit of elbow grease, leaving no spots, streaks or unpolished areas. I have not yet been able to conclude the final factor: durability, but will report back after a few weeks of car washes, outside parking, etc. But for now, for the Amazon price of this stuff: You can't go wrong!
