A couple of weeks ago I was able to get a tin of Meguiars new Gold Class Carnauba Plus Wax. Since I am a fan of the first version I definitly wanted to give this updated version a try. I tested out the paste version of this wax and hopefully soon I can give the liquid version a try since I prefer liquid over paste waxes.
One of the things I noticed when using this updated version is that it is much easier to apply and remove than the original version. Obviously it helps to apply a very thin coat, but I was suprised how well application and removal went. This new version is just as easy to apply and remove than NXT Generation Tech Wax IMO.
The test subject was my 2007 Chevy Silverado, I just had the oil changed and the tires rotated so I figured it deserved a Wash and Wax. But the only problem was that it was extremly dirty. So a bit of a good cleaning would be in order before any wax would touch the paint. Here is what I am talking about:
I started off with an hour and a half long wash, then I lightly clayed the paint , then applied one coat of Gold Class Carnauba Plus Wax. I did not do any correction work since it is still winter and there will probably be more swirls to come, plus I didnt really have the time to do it. I needed to get some protection on the paint as well since the M21 I applied in September was almolst dead.
If I get the chance to wash my truck next week then I will probably add a second coat. I only have a couple after pictures that were taken in my garage since by the time I was done it was already in the late evening. Here are the results:
I will be testing out both the paste and liquid on more vechiles and will post a follow up on how it looks on other vechiles and how durable it is. In the end I liked how it looked on my truck, it made the paint look deep and wet and reflective and that was a good thing.
In the end, I think there is a pretty big difference to justify the purchase of the newer updated version, and those who maybe did not like the original version should consider giving this a try.
