Eagleone Nanowax

I've been reading the boards looking for a good wax for my Yaris. The general consensus is that Turtle wax ICE is the best. I however found a review of Eagle One: Nanowax in a Car and Driver mag' that inspired me to try it. (they sang it's praises..)

My review:
To put it simply, this stuff works.. I gave my 07 sedan (silver) a good washing then after drying the car I appiled the Nanowax. Using a micro fiber towel to spread the wax was easy and fast. After it dried (no residue, but I did see some streaks) I used a clean micro-towel to "buff" (gently rub) the car. After this once over the car has a silky smooth feel (more so than before) and the car shines..

I was so impressed with the end result I used it on my wife's 97 miata and it really made a massive difference in the cars look. From dull to glossy, I'd say Nanowax made the car look 5 years younger.

I'm going to add to this post later, after the next wash, so I can offer impressions of Nanowax's durability.

The following link will take you to the Eagleone site for all the details

comes in some quirt bottle like lotion. I've been using the Eagle One nano wax ever since it came out. On my Black cherry pearl (R.I.P) it gave it such a nice mirror shine it was amazing. The shine is awesome even though I have a white Yarii when i park next to other cars you can see the cars reflection on my car almost perfectly ^^ I want to try meguiar's NXT wax ^^

i've tried the spray version of the nanowax from the little free handouts from HIN. They work alright but I prefer the squirt bottle over the spray version

Meguiar's n x t Polycoat the best I ever seen. Deep wet look make that paint like steel. In texas its love bug time and they stick like glue to cars. But with this stuff just use the water hose. Saves alot on bug and tar remover.
