Product Review: DuPont Spray Wax

When you think of waxing your car you think of blocking out an entire afternoon, it tends to take some time. Is there a way to save time when waxing? The brains at DuPont think they have found a way to save time with this Spray Wax. But can it work as well as traditional wax? We put it to the test to find out.

I had a Porsche 356 Cabriolet in the shop and wanted to give it a wax. I went to the shelf and noticed I was down to almost nothing with my usual wax. What to do? I remembered I had bought a bottle of the DuPont Spray Wax to try out, this became the perfect time. I started by spraying the wax directly onto the body, but since I had already detailed the chrome and glass this was not a good idea. The wax was spraying everywhere, all over the parts of the car I had already cleaned. This waxing experience was not starting out well so I switched my technique. I sprayed a good amount of the wax on a rag and then applied it to the car. This worked much better. The spray wax spread evenly and came off smooth once it had hazed up. The overall shine was very nice. This car spent time in an outside carport for several years, so even when washed the paint did not shine well. Once I used the DuPont Spray Wax the paint shined right up. If you were doing a car larger than a small sports car you could probably spray directly onto the body without as many problems as I had. I was also working on a very curved car so that may have messed up the spray design. All in all a nice product that worked a lot faster than traditional wax. This could easily be used between heavy wax jobs to keep the shine up, which I think is what the folks at DuPont had in mind.
