Post O.D. Wheel Seal, Waterless Wash, and Wet Obsession Review

Wheel Seal---
First off, a little goes a long way. I hardly used any to do all 4 wheels. It applied real smooth and easily. I was surprised that the applicator pad got a little brown looking, considering I just washed the wheels! I let the Wheels Seal sit for about 10 minutes or so. I went back with a dedicated MF towel and the Wheel Seal removed just as easy as it went on with no smearing or smudging! The wheels look the darkest, deepest, wettest looking I have ever seen them! In all honesty, they look better than the paint now!

Waterless Wash---
I wanted to try this because I live in a dustier area where I have not had the best of luck with a regular QD. When using it for QD, it wipes off without streaking and leaves the finish looking just waxed (having wax in it is another thumbs up because it just adds that little extra over a regular QD). I also like to use this when drying my car just in case some dust or dirt gets on the paint. It leaves the paint looking real smooth and glossy when used either way.

Wet Obsession Wax---
I like the paste since I prefer to wax my car by hand. Something soothing about it. This is the first paste wax I have used in a long time and the first on my car. It doesn't have a bad smell at all which is a plus if you are going to be using it often enough. A little goes a long way here as well. I started out by testing it on half of my spoiler. It spreads out very nicely and has an oily look to it. I imagine this is the higher levels of carnauba wax and other ingredients as well (oils for the paint?). I let it sit until it hazed and swiped clear. The wax came off effortlessly and did not smudge or smear. I had just recently waxed my car with Meguiar's NXT 1.0 followed by Meguiar's Gold Class Wax. The side of the spoiler I used it on had a bit of a deeper reflection on it. I ended up starting to wax the whole car, but had to stop myself as I had some other things to do . The reflection from this wax on a recently cleaned, polished, and waxed section is absolutely incredible. Almost as good as the wheels! I know Poorboy's just came out with a new product called Black Hole formulated for dark cars. I would love to see what black looks like with an application of Black Hole and this new wax!

The Wheel Seal is an extremely good deal considering what it does and how little product it take to get the results that I did. The Waterless Wash is a must have for anyone. I carry this around now at all times with a few MF's just in case. The new wax will be a must-buy for sure, I can't wait to try it out on some different paints.

From one detailer to another- absolutely incredible products Justin! Keep up the great work!

I will work on getting some pictures taken and uploaded!

Thanks for the great writeup! I'm glad you are happy with the products.

It was hard to get the wax in those small sample containers, a lot of the samples were all broken up and chunky. The actual wax in the tin is completely smooth and goes on like butter, no chunks at all.

I can't wait to hear how easy your brake dust comes off your wheels when you go to clean them after putting the Wheel Seal on them.

Thanks for clarifying that Justin. I thought the paste wax was a little tough to work with because of the chunkiness, but once it was on the paint, it was like butter to apply. Very smooth, nice and easy to work in.

Good comments too from RoushStage2 about the smell and ease of wiping off. I thought the smell was pleasant enough, not as edible smelling as some of your products though!! Removing the paste was very easy, doesn't take a lot of elbow grease at all! I guess I should have put these comments in my review, but I figured the pics spoke for themselves! LOL!

I noticed the chunks and figured it was from trying to scrape some in the container. I worked the chunks around a bit to make it smooth. Application and removal were a definite + score.

As for the comments, I have reviewed and tested unreleased and released car care products for other companies, so after doing enough of them, you get pretty good at them. Thanks for checking in Kandy!
