After two long weeks, I FINALLY had a chance to wash and wax my car. After washing and drying, I applied Natty's Blue Paste which I had just received only days before. Here is my take on this wax. But first a little background.
Previous LSP's: Two layers of BFWD sealant as the base, with several coats of OCW as a topper.
Washing regimen: ONR with two bucket GG system, two Lake Country 'Big Blue' sponges. One is used for upper surfaces only. Second for dirtier surfaces, such as the bottom half of the car, and front and rear.
Appearance of Natty's Blue Paste in container: Light blue in color and very hard. And like all reviewers have stated, this wax has a very pleasant bubble gum-like scent. Made waxing fun and enjoyable. Sure didn't help my stomach though, as I did not have breakfast, so it was rumbling like crazy. LOL
Application products: Pinnacle yellow foam round hand applicator pad; Pakshak Ultra Plush MF. Two would be needed, one for buffing-off, and the second for final buffing.
Application and removal: Before waxing, I lightly spritzed the foam pad on both sides using ONR diluted to clay lube strength, and continued light spraying throughout waxing session. This made applying the wax much easier. As product description states, Natty's Blue Paste should be applied thin, and can be used in sun or shade, and is designed for easy-on, easy-off. I decided to put those claims up to the test. Found a parking spot that was partially in the sun/shade and proceeded with the wax application.
While applying, I decided to go just a tad bit heavier than recommended, just to see for myself how easy (or hard) this product is to remove. Natty's Blue hazed over rather quickly, and surfaces were ready for removal by the time the last panel was waxed. The results? Outstanding! Product claims, as stated, are dead-on accurate. There was a slight dusting problem, but that was only because I went slightly heavy with the product, and this was easily removed with the second MF during final buffing.
Final results: VERY easy to apply and remove, even in the full sun. My car's finish was left with a high gloss, and richer in color. And depth was noticeably increased as well. I will apply a second coat later on this week to increase the depth. Previous LSP's I have used did very little to add depth, even with multiple coats.
And it has a light filling effect as well. There were some very light swirl marks on the hood and roof before waxing, and these became much less noticeable after application of Natty's Blue.
Summary: I highly commend the chemists responsible for this outstanding wax. Very seldom do I see a product that has the characteristics of being easy to apply AND remove, can be used in the sun or shade, and is a virtually 'fool-proof' product that even a relative novice like myself can use like a pro.
And for those who are on a tight budget, (like myself) its affordability just cannot be beat. Poorboy's World has a great product that I think will rival, or perhaps even beat, many of the more expensive, higher-end "boutique" waxes.
Happy Detailing, everyone!
