***Anyone try Eagle one spray wax?***


Has anyone tried this product out? Is it crap or is it good? All I know is that you wash, spray on, and then dry. According to the directions, there is no hazing of the wax and no need for buffing. I would like to hear from those who have actually used it. I know that there are paste waxes and liquid waxes that are better but I don't have the time to use those products.

I have never used it. It seems "too good to be true"... Plus regular wax isnt that bad to apply.

I use three dollar turtle wax in the bottle. Waxing is not the most important thing to do when cleaning your car. Clean with soap and water, use clay, and then a standard wax... And if it's older paint or needs a good clean, then go with a compound before the wax..

I see all sorts of stuff on the shelves and sometimes when I buy something like that to try out it ends up working half as good as the older detailing products..

Just please remember to wash again after you clay. if you do not you will be leaving clay residue on your paint.

I use those "Wax as u dry" sprays inbetween my waxes... It keeps the gloss up and does help.. I would not however, recommend using it as your primary wax...

I have it... I used it... I was not impressed. Application is pretty easy, but it doesn't reduce swirl marks and doesn't shine nearly as well as a regular rub on, rub off carnuba wax. The only thing I can say for it is that it does make the paint feel a little smoother, but within one or two rain storms it's completely washed off.

So if your pressed for time and you know your paint is in need of wax it does by you a week or two until you have time to really wax it well.

*** the one great thing... it works well on the windshield as a "Rain X" type substitute. The instructions said it was ok to use on glass. So I threw it on there and it worked well for a little while***

Technically wax and water don't mix so any product that says you can apply while wet is BS. Try Eagle One liquid NANO wax after you dry. Easy on and off. Use only micro fiber applicator and towels during waxing. And NEVER wax hot paint in the direct sunlight.

Like Mad-Sciontist said... good for in-between waxing. Really easy. You spray it on and dry the car. Makes for easy upkeep in-between the morning-taking-wax-job.

I use the Eagle one wax and it works good, it adds a little extra shine and maybe a little protection against the weather.

Default Eagle One Wax and you Dry

I like it, gives it a quick shine after a wash. Like some of the others mention, it doesn't replaces a regular wax job, just good for in between a full wax job. Do as the direction states, work on small area at a time.
