    It's not all the same. There are various grades of carnuba. Then there is a Yellow and a White version.

    Add to that the fact that most off the shelf waxes are only 5% carnuba, the rest is fillers and stuff to make it spreadable. Pure carnuba is very hard and in flakes. You can't spread it on a car.

    I'll be honest, I got caught up in all the great chrome and paint on all sorts of rides...I didn't take any great shots of the GP at the car show. Best one I took is the top photo. And it shows something I noticed about this wax. The reflections are deep and clear...ultra clear even.

    The lower photo is after we drove home I went to find an empty parking lot with little reflections. What reflections it did catch, were still amazingly clear after a long day, around 300 miles in our dusty summer here in Nebraska. Bugs fell off when I needed to polish it up after we arrived, and once I got home.

    The Hard Candy is very hard. Great stuff!

    Today Rainforest Rub and Diamond White pots arrived, and some Lime Prime, and Lime Prime Lite. Tropical Mist detail spray should be here later this week, and a Wookie Fist mitt.

    Later this week I'll post some close up shots, before and after.

    Going with wash, rinse, quick detail spray and buff, clay job, quick detail spray, polish and sealing, hard wax, buff, soft wax, buff...and I figure out what to do after that once I see it. Not a one day project, so the soft car cover will get some duty in between steps.

    Photos of the GP with five coats of DJ Blue Velvet Pro on the blue areas, with four coats of Diamond White and two coats of Light Fantastic on the roof. Washed with DJ Basics of Bling Soap, then it was clayed, then waxed by hand with DJ Supernatural Finger Mitts, and rubbed and buffed with lotsa mircofiber, final buffing done with DJ Supernatural Buffing Towels. This wax smells great when you work with it, gives a really wet look, and the Blue Velvet Pro is working great for me, water beads great, bugs pretty much rinse off, and it's very durable.

    I scored some Supernatural Wax...probably going to change up to that for October.

    There is a guy on Motoring|Underground (Rally) who was advocating this product a couple of years ago. I never bought it but his car always looked amazing.

    I use it on my JCW

    Its a really soft wax and can actually be applied with your bare hands


    Works great on dark coloured cars - its fantastic on my Eclipse grey JCW

    Let me know what Rally says and how this works out for you. I've got an Absolute Black JCW Countryman coming my way soon and am getting ready to prepare for detailing it. I know it's going to be a labor of love keeping that car looking its best.

    Funny how when I started this thread I didn't have a GP and its come in handy years later. Gonna try to get some cleaning in soon and give hard candy a go on the GP2.

    Well, because this thread was resurrected I have now placed an order for the paste wax. I used the red juice and loved it's quick detail results, now I'm graduating to the real deal.

    Thankfully I frequent M|U, I'll reach out to him and ask his opinion. Thanks for the insights everyone.

    Thoughts on their purple haze line on laser blue?
