Mini-Review: Autoglym High Definition Wax

Ok, the verdict is in.

I finally got to try out the HD this weekend. I used it on a Plymouth Prowler that I spent about 20 hours correcting, and I must say, I really like the wax. I will start by saying, the application with the supplied applicator is a slight pain in the arse (I'll probably use a yellow foam applicator next time, but I wanted to try the HD applicators out). When trying out a new wax for the first time, I like to apply it THICK, just to see how difficult a wax can be to remove. I know that's strange, but I want to know the worst case scenario. This time was no exception...The car looked like a cake after I was finished. I honestly thought to myself, "I am screwed!", as I was watching it dry. I used one of the Shamrock 750 towels to remove the wax after allowing it to haze for about 25 minutes.

I was shocked at how easy it came off. Granted, there were a couple of spots that were difficult to remove, but overall, it came off with little effort. Now on to the "look" of the wax; It is very similar to P21S 100%. I believe Todd described it as "liquid clarity" which is a great way to describe it. It did a nice job in bringing out the flake in the paint, and looks as if the car is covered in glass...A nice, sharp reflective look, that I personally like.

I've heard the durability is supposed to be pretty decent, but I won't be able to tell with this car, since it's kept in a warehouse. The owner will be driving it to Florida for a couple of weeks, and I'll probably have to wash it when it returns, so I may be able to give a small status report. All in all, I was very pleased with the wax.

 

I have found that, as you stated, it is very easy to remove. It is more like a sealant than a wax in that regard. The trick with AG Hi Def is to LET IT DRY. The longer you leave it, the easier it is to remove.

 

I completely agree. I let a small section dry an additional 15-20 minutes (So around 40 minutes today) and it was a breeze to remove.
