So up this month is Auto Finesse Desire wax, originally a LTD Wax but demand for the wax was so great Auto Finesse continued with production making Desire the brands flagship Wax.
As my Clios currently tucked up in the garage I used my company car as the test vehicle.
It had been washed using the 2RHCW method (2 Romanian Hand Car Wash) as I was feeling lazy and then driven back home.
I applied Triple to the whole car apart from the bonnet which is where I planned to apply the wax.
To start this is the bonnet after washing the car:
I then applied Rejuvenate with a Micro-fibre pad to clean the paint and leave a nice slick finish to apply the wax to.
Worked this in to the paint before buffing off, as the cars new there was very little dirt pulled from the paint.
The Desire wax was then applied using a foam wax pad in small circles to ensure full coverage and left to cure
I purposely applied it quite thick in places to see how easy removal would be when over applied.
This was then buffed off leaving a very slick finish with a rich wet finish to the paint and very good 'flake pop'.
My thoughts:
Rejuvenate: Super simple to use and I've no doubt had I used it on the clio it would have pulled a lot of dirt from the paint. It leaves an oily finish once buffed off which when I compared it to a section of 'un-cleansed' paint when applying wax allowed for a smoother and finer layer of wax to be laid down.
Desire: First up is the smell... It's incredible, I can't quite place it, it's a bit like old sweet shop smell like the Auto Finesse air fresheners. It's very oily in application allowing a very thin layer to be put down, whilst even with the areas I over applied on being easy to remove, less is certainly more with application. The finish is very wet looking with a good clarity of reflection, it certainly makes the paint look 'deeper'. I couldn't get it show in photos but the difference between the waxed bonnet and tripled wing was quite significant.
Would I buy some... Quite possibly, i currently use Auto Finesse Spirt wax on the clio, once this has been finished Desire could well take its space on the shelf, the deciding factors will be durability, as I get a good 'life span' from Spirt so will be interesting to see how Desire does.
