Superb new hard paste wax that I\u2019d like to tell you about. Especially as I\u2019ve had some great success with it.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s Lads Nut Wax from the superbly-named The Lads Wax Company based in Northamptonshire. It\u2019s supplied in a quality 225gm tin and has arguably the best and most enticing smell of any polish or wax I\u2019ve ever used.<\/p>\n

It says not to apply in direct sunshine but I did and as the image here shows, it brought my BMW X5 up a treat. I\u2019d previously applied Air Glide paint protection to the car\u2019s bodywork and applied Nut Wax over the top in two layers, although the maker\u2019s say more can be added thus building up protection, which they say can be up to three months.<\/p>\n

It certainly fulfilled the claims they make for the product \u2013 durability, shine and a wet-look. The latter two are evident in the photo I think, and thus far three weeks after I applied it, the car remains clean and shiny. Dust doesn\u2019t seem to be sticking to it as much.<\/p>\n

A small amount of the carnauba-rich product should be applied to one panel or area at a time and it should be buffed off with a decent quality microfiber. I found it very easy on; easy off. If the wax is a little hard at first just add a couple of drops of water to the foam applicator to loosen it up. Actually, once a bit of heat is built up it becomes soft to the touch anyway.<\/p>\n

A little trick I often use with waxes of this type is to put a small amount in my left palm and use the tips of the fingers of my right hand to gently apply. I find that I can get a good thin layer onto the paint that way. Just be careful with rings or muck on your hands before you go daubing it onto your car. Remember a little goes a long way.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll be running a little feature in TKC MAG very soon on this product.<\/p>\n

This is one quality product and it\u2019s now my \u2018go to\u2019 hard wax. A 225gm tin costs #40 and is available from www.ladswax.co.uk<\/a> or 0843 886 1810 ENDS <\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
