I purchased this wax as part of a complete car finish overhaul solution using pretty much all Meguiar's products from the claybar to the Ultimate Polish, Ultimate Quick Detailer spray and micofiber clothes. I did reviews for all of the products I used, including the polishing pad, except for the claybar which I purchased from a local store last year. The claybar works well so I can recommend that too.I have tried other Meguiar's wax products like the NXT 2.0, which I did not care for, and find this wax to be their best hands down. I used the included pad to apply the wax versus a machine and the Meguiar's microfiber clothes to remove it. I found it relatively easy to apply and remove although it took some effort when the sun started to go down and the wax was not drying well enough.  On that point, regardless of what the instructions may say, I prefer and have the best results when I apply wax to a completely cool surface. Especially if it's black like my car. When I say cool I mean completely cool. When applied on a cool surface and left to dry completely, it comes off easily. I normally finish a wax job with some Meguiar's Ultimate Quick Detailer anyway to bring out the final shine so it takes care of any smudges or wax residue left behind. I did a review on the detailing spray last year.The wax has been on for a few weeks now and has been through about four washes with, of course, Meguiar's Gold Class car wash, and is holding up very well. After washing I go over it with the detailing spray using the microfiber clothes to bring it to a nice shine. I suspect it will hold up for a few more weeks or more. I'll be sticking with this wax for sure. Has a nice smell too.Let me also mention, the wax only works as well as the car finish will let it. That goes for pretty much any wax. If you are serious about getting your car to look it's best you must and I mean must, start with a claybar. Period. Or you are wasting your time and will not get the best out of any wax. You may also need to use rubbing and polishing compound too depending on the results you want. Just saying.And no I do not work for Meguiar's. I have tried a lot of car care products through the years and  while I am not expert, I just happen to like their product line - no not everything they make, but I think I have found a nice suite of products I can rely on and recommend to anyone who is willing to put in the work and wants good results.
