OCD Nebula - Ordered this wax wanting to see what all the fuss was about. The finish was certainly up there but the removal of this wax wasn't what I expected from a show wax. For me it was a strange one as application was effortless, I tried with many different cure times and different temperatures etc but just couldn't find the sweet spot, perhaps a bit of user error here but for me I prefer other show waxes. 7/10 OCD Alien 51 - Very easy to use leaving a nice warm glow but the finish didn't wow me however it's more of an all rounder so didn't expect it to be up there with the show waxes I've used i'd reach for it over Nebula simply for the ease of use. Overall a nice all rounder but doesn't get me reaching for it too often 7.5/10 OCD Halloween Wax - OCD hit the sweet spot with this wax, the finish of Nebula with the ease of use of alien 51, an all around great wax. Also one of the best presented pots of wax I've ever used. 9/10 ODK Glamour - My favourite scent of any wax I own. The finish is one of the only waxes that made me stand back and say that made a real difference. My go to summer wax, effortless application and removal whilst the wax is on the harder side. 9.5/10 ODK Momentum - Picked this up in march madness last year as I was in need of some protection for my wheels. I was only expecting this to last a couple of months at most but to my surprise it was almost 6 months before the beading finally dropped off, I was so impressed I haven't bought another product to seal my wheels since. 8/10 ODK Waxstock 2017 - Picked this up at waxstock last year only got round to using it recently and now I wish I used it earlier. The scent of the wax is orange and lemon and is extremely strong. The wax itself loads up beautifully on the applicator and spreads forever. Removal is effortless and the finish is up there with the best I've used. 8.5/10 Optimum Opti-Seal - Easy to apply and a little goes an extremely long way. I liked the versatility of this product but the water behaviour and durability was a massive let down. 5/10 Wax Planet Shield of Dreams - The beading and durability is impressive from this wax but application and removal wasn't the easiest. It's lasted over 3 months on my car and water behaviour was impressive during this time. If only application and removal was just that bit better this could have been a truly wonderful wax. 7/10 Wowo's Contact 121 - I bought this for this winter expecting incredible beading and I wasn't disappointed. Beading was even better than ceramic waxes I've used and application and removal was so easy. Finish was more glassy however in winter I'm just looking for protection and water behaviour and for me this wax hits the spot. Very impressed with my first Wowo's wax. 9/10 Wowo's Crystal Sealant - For the price the protection it offers is incredible, beading and sheeting are wonderful as is durability. My problem lies in application, I found a wet car much easier to apply to and this is how I got the best out of the product. On a dry car it seemed extremely difficult to buff off, whether I buffed instantly or let it cure as per the recommendation on the bottle. 8/10 |

LSP's What have you used and how would you rate them?
@bradleebennett - that's a fantastic write up / summery of the wax / sealants you've used and some great tips / short explanations ...
I've not tried any bouncers wax, but certainly going to consider one now, as with the AG synth seal - was wondering what this was like compared to others as fancy trying it - did you apply by hand ? Cheers ![]() |

What's next on your list to try out of interest? I have a few more that I need to review once the weather picks up a bit - Wax Tub 141, RaceGlaze 42 (initial impressions of this are VERY good), Bouncers Fortify and ODK Sterling. I've also got a custom wax coming from OW, but obviously that will score a 10/10 as it's exactly what I want in a wax ![]() |

Carpro Cquartz U.K., can be a bit a grabby on levelling, but as a stand alone ceramic it’s better than its rivals and doesn’t need a topper like other coatings around
Tac Moonlight has to be one of my favs. It’s epic, I use it for topping ceramic coatings as a maintenance as it will fill and help repair them but as will out last things like reload, Gyeon Cure with ease Application is dead easy, but like applying ceramics. Make sure you buff lager than the area you’ve applied. Very very forgiving as well Carpro Gliss, as easy to apply as a wax, water behaviour is insane. Offers phenomenal protection, durability I don’t know as it’s only been on a few mnths but still beading like it did from day one Carpro hydrophobic foam, couldn’t get anymore easier to apply. Really stands up against harsh conditions and for topping up LSP. You’ll struggle to beat it Fireball easycoat, fireball have nailed this. I’ve tried many many other which fall into the same catagory but none come close. As a spray and rinse sealant, it’s knocks the socks off anything else. |

Angelwax Enigma - bought sample pot of this finally got around to using it.
I’ve read a lot about this wax and preparation is key so I gave the car full decontamination and stripped paint of any oil or residue to aid with the bonding, I’ve then applied ti-22 to all the panels and buffed off before I apply enigma which was suggested from angelwax. The wax is blue in colour and scent is gorgeous smells of marshmallows which is a great start and flawlessly poured as is all of the waxes they pour. The wax was very easy to load on to the applicator and it spreads really well, I’ve applied it one panel at time, being a fairly overcast day and rather cold it took roughly 10 minutes to cure fully and was clear to see when this was, upon removal I’ve used a 350gsm microfibre with light pressure and it came off very easy no effort required. Once all Car was done I had look on how much wax I’ve used and I’ve barely touched it no more than 5ml used. I’ve then left it overnight to fully cure and the results were superb dripping wet paint,very glossy finish with sharp reflections, slightly muted flake pop but nothing major. Quick water test showed amazing beading and sheeting the best I’ve ever seen from a wax, the Ceramic ingredient they use in this wax certainly plays a major part in it. After all weather we’ve had lately with snow,salt and rain the wax is holding up really well, not had time or weather to wash the car, when it rains it practically cleans the car for me, seriously good cleaning ability. Overall I would give this wax 9.5/10, the best wax I’ve ever used I would recommend anyone to give this wax a try, don’t know what your missing. I know it £45 for 30ml or £180 for 250ml which is expensive, but don’t be put off by this, I’ve read in PVD magazine that the ceramic their using cost roughly £1000 upwards for 1 litre, it a serious ceramic not a cheap rip-off that some manufacturers use just to label their wax as containing ceramic. Ive gone ahead and bought a full jar after using my sample. ![]() (Sorry for long write up thanks for reading my review) Kyle |
