Today I succumbed and bought a 16oz bottle of "Stop Wax -- Synthetic Polymer Auto Wash 5 in 1". The directions suggest you add 4oz of product to 2 gallons of water, wash your car in a normal way ; ie., from top to bottom, rinsing each section at a time. It says "towel dry glass only".

I took that last comment to mean -- do not wipe or dry car after last rinse.

They claim that after 3 or 4 washes it will shine like wax.

I'm here to tell you that my car looked so shi$%y that within 1 hour I washed it again with my usual Meguiars shampoo. Perhaps my car had too much wax on it for this product to form a film. Instead my slate colored car was covered with hundreds of off-white water spots. I can only imagine what it would look like if the whole car were covered by one spot.

Save your $7. Has any one else tried this stuff?

 

Thanks for forewarning - Pat

 

The Meguiars is a great car wash soap and I use it all of the time. I read on the Forum about Turtle Wax ICE and I used in on my white Roadster this past weeken and it just gleamed. Very easy product to use and had the car done in about 30 minutes. It is safe to use on plastics and the only caution was to keep it away from glass.

 

I tried the new Nano Wax Spray from EagleOne after washing my car yesterday. It works great.

 

I can't comment from experience about the Stop Wax but it sure sounds too good to be true. You have to properly prepare the paint surface before putting a protective coating over it and the Stop Wax couldn't possibly do that. I like the Eagle Nano spray also FP but it didn't seem to last very long and I like the Meguire's Ultimate Detail spray better even though it costs more.

 

I've never heard of Stop Wax but from how you describe it, it seems like a car wash soap...Meaning that probably the entire car did need to be towel dried. Did you ever try that? Darn directions! I'm sorry to hear about your experience.
