Eagle1 Nanowax
 
Initial impression: I dont really like it.

It never really dried to a white, flakey residue, like other waxes do.
It was difficult to remove because of that and even after everything was gone, the surface doesnt look that great.
Its as if the wax didnt dry. Wiping a towel across sometimes leaves smears on the surface. (Yes, fully dried and wiped down w/ the included micro-fiber towel AND towels of my own)

One thing that is kinda neat, yet confusing, is that if you breathe onto your paint, it will fog up like a window. This could be because its ultra smooth.

Tomorrow I'll wash my micro-fiber towels, wipe it down again (once-over), and look at it in the sunlight. I'll write another reveiw after that.

I hear that the wax only lasts 3weeks max before breaking down, so I also plan to go over it w/ another coat of standard paste turtle wax for protection and longevity. ...Plus Im doing a photoshoot tomorrow night, for myself, and want it to look as shiney as possible.

(Oh, I also used some Blue Magic polish on my headlights to remove the yellow residue. Worked excellently; Im very pleased.)

i on;y use zymol. the best wax ever

C's 94 InTeGrA 09-04-2004 11:16 PM

Zymol is good. Also the new Meguires NXT wax. If u want ur car to be shinny to the point ur paint looks like a mirror id recommend this. Also another thing to use on ur headlights is alumiun and chrome polish like Wenoil or Never Dull from Eagle One. That works awesome on shitty headlights.

i use the NXT wax just for a quick wax. But if i'm doing a real thorough job, then i use the three products that mothers has, they have a cleaner wax, polish, and a carnuba wax (sold seperatley of course:o ) but it looks fuckin awesome.

I just like to try new things once...give em a chance

ChrisCantSkate 09-04-2004 11:54 PM

i have some stuff... don know the name, but its what auto detailers use on high end sports cars. shit was like $50 for the bottle, but holy shit my paint looks about 2 feet deep when its freshly on there

JDMFantasy2k 09-05-2004 11:48 AM

hmm don't think i'll be spending 50 bucks on a bottle of wax anytime soon, but maybe i can convince one of my parents to make it a stocking stuffer for christmas:rolleyes:

I still dont like it.

It really does NOT mix well w/ other waxes and I had to buff like crazy to get the swirlies out.
It really isnt very reflective either. Ive gotten better results w/ cheaper waxes.
Overall...very unsatisfied.

JDMFantasy2k 09-05-2004 05:50 PM

does the manufacturer have a money back guarantee on the stuff? cause you should probably bitch them out and tell them how unsatisfied you are.

pdiggitydogg 09-05-2004 06:04 PM

they probably dont...but even if they did, Im not going to take the time to do that. Far too lazy.

it was a half gallon of wax... and it was a present:cool:

pdiggitydogg 09-05-2004 10:47 PM

psh...its a lot easier to type a complaint to you guys.
If i send an email I'll just forward this web address!

ebpda9 09-06-2004 03:38 AM

i still love the zymol. it's 13/qt but i think it's well worth it. if you follow the instructions step by step the car really comes out nice and shiny. plus the paint will look like 1ft deep.

hmm so now we judge how much our cars shine and how good they look by the ammount of feet deep they appear to be...

ebpda9 09-06-2004 11:59 AM

pretty much. i am really impressed with zymol than anything i tried: eagle one wet shine, maguiers stuff, mothers something. plus you can really feel the body of the car soo smooth. the only downside to it it;s that attracts dust way too easy, but usually i just hose the car and that's it.

anyone tried the new mr clean spotless rinse system ? i might shell out the $20 for it and see if it works

pdiggitydogg 09-06-2004 12:12 PM

mr clean sucks. My neighbor bought it.
It does work...kinda. But it takes FOREVER...
Id rather use a good clean towel and dry it

wheresmylicense 09-06-2004 11:07 PM

if you guys haven't used zaino polish, i would seriously recommend at least checking out the website... getting your car intially set up for it to work (cut old wax, clay, etc.) is kind of a pain, but once you finish, it's beautiful... especially on black cars.
