You ever get a product and it works better than advertised? Its one of those rare happy surprises in life.

I am from the school of thought that nothing looks better than a clean black car (also believe the opposite holds true). The problem is for it to look really BLACK you need to wax. And I am too lazy/busy to wax my car as often as I would like. So %95 of the time its just (hand) washed.

Today its 75 in Michigan and I decide to wash the car (wheel cleaner, Maguires soap, Shop Vac, Windex) and I run out of the wheel cleaner (lets face it we use a lot). So on my trip to the auto parts place I see Turtle Wax 1 Step Dry and Wax and decide to give it a try.

Basically the bottle says you will get the wax finish/look by spraying this on while drying (yeah right). The instructions say to wash your car, rinse well and while wet spray a couple sprays on each panel while you are drying.

Well the car looks just like advertised; like it does after I hand wax it (read: BLACK mirror finish without a swirl to be found).

If your anything like me (busy/lazy) you might want to give it a try.

Interesting. I'm sort of on the lazy side, and especially because of the amount of "bug juice" I get on the car here in Virginia, instead of wax I use "Rejex", a polymer that doesn't give as good a shine but that gives much better protection against bug juice and road tar - the bad stuff doesn't stick as much. Given the color I have, Basalt Black Metallic, I'm not sure I sacrifice much shine by going with Rejex.
