Nascar fw1 wax

The other day I was at the gas station and these "promoters" as they would call themselves was trying to sell me this fw1 wax? I think they were pretty good. anyone else use it before?

It use it all the time. I just like it because I can use it on literally everything on the exterior of the car. And it's great for keeping it looking nice with out doing a full detail.

I use it all the time. That product works like a charm it's a waterless wash. Hope you bought a can.

I didnt just buy a can. I bought 2 cans for 20 bucks. 2 turtle wax bottles at walmart is like 25 bucks. Its great how i don't have to go through the whole wash car then. i like the ease of just spray and wipe. ONly thing that sucks is when it rains the next day. hahahaha

As a detailer I tend to not recommend such things and believe more in further educating folks on proper car care techniques. For me, too easy a product produces to low of an outcome. If you used a really good sealant then you could just run routine maintenance for 6 or so months. But if you think it looks good, and are happy with that then go for it, this is just my opinion. Keep them Fits clean!

But doing a whole car wash and wax, take a long time. the fw1 wax provides a much simpler solution though.

I agree, but if you take the time maybe twice a year (I'm in MA so...) and do a good wash, clay,(maybe compound) and seal, all you'll have to do is wash regularly or use a quick detailer spray.
I know it's hard, I've got two kids, house, etc. And if you're happy with how your doing things then keep at it.

I'm a raving fan of FW1 but I DO NOT use it as my main car wash method. I only use it after carefully hand washing and drying the car first. I bought a case online and I use it every week after I wash my car and I do the wax strip and re-application once a month. Car stays PERFECT!

Same here. Ive only used it to wash completely once. Took forever to get it right by my
Standards. And I only did it cause it was 34 degrees outside and we decided last minute to take my car to a show as a transport instead of the excursion. Lol
