AutoGlym Rapid Aqua Wax Review

[@michaelgaughan4609]

One of the best reviews on this product. Very informative and honest. Top marks.

[@AutoglymUK]

Fantastic, glad you liked it. Fantastic to see the results you got. Overall, fantastic video. Fantastic. (Fantastic)

[@AutoglymUK]

Only downside was that the smell was only described as "awesome" aiming to get that resolved in any future formulation redevelopment and get that up to a fantastic too.

[@SpeckyMcSporran]

Sounds fantastic, glad you liked it! Have a fantastic day! 😁👊

[@MrSolveMYMaze]

Great video. This wax really does make black paint look extremely glossy. If you're looking for a longer lasting wax in the winter, Collinite 845 works wonders on top of SRP. 3 months on since with a single layer and its still beading like mad. I was surprised how well it complements SRP. This combo also works great on the wheels. The brake dust flies off of the alloys.

[@SpeckyMcSporran]

Glad you enjoyed it! I own Collinite 476 but I haven't used it in a long time and never tried 845 though I've heard good things. I'll just have to add it to my ever growing list of things to buy 🤣

[@Dynafleet123]

One of my favorite Autoglym products, now looking forward to a comparison test with Autoglym Rapid Ceramic Spray. Greetings from Belgium.

[@SpeckyMcSporran]

Thank you!

[@davidgreen3350]

Autoglym Aqua Wax is like you say a fantastic product, you did the correct thing by using the Aqua Wax straight after the Super Resin Polish, great result to be had that way. Good vid 👍

[@SpeckyMcSporran]

Thank you!

[@gse4280]

I just bought a brand new car and paid for autoglyms life time shine which they guarantee as long as i own the car it will remain glossy and always repell liquid or they will re apply or fix any pannel that has marks or stone chips and they gave me the life time shine kit (which is £120) and the rapid aqua wax is safe or every panel including glass and it makes the car look amazing showroom/brand new finish so this one must be superseded with a later version that is glass and mirror safe.

[@petermarshall3880]

Just tried this today on my Mazda 3 and was very impressed with how easy it was, and the result. I've noticed the car's paintwork now has a different feel to it though. Not super smooth and slick like other waxes I've used, but more like a very smooth satin feel. I ended up here to see if anyone else had the same result.

[@SpeckyMcSporran]

It didn't feel like that to me but next time I use it I'll have a proper feel.

[@Setright]

I used the first time when it was launched (10 years ago?). I find it makes the car feel "soft", no other way to explain it. Super easy to use, quick and it saves time since it combines drying and waxing in one go. Sure, it's not the ultimate in gloss, but for the effort put in, it's a FANTASTIC product :-) Perfect for the regular washes inbetween the full-on detail wash and waxes.

[@slowsteadysteve6565]

Found a bottle in my garage Must be years old but Crikey very impressive made my white car absolutely gleam and so easy to used around door shuts and petrol flap SHALL use again

[@SpeckyMcSporran]

It really is an impressive product!

[@robertolombardi3698]

What a fantastic video, there you go Specky, I've made that count of 10 lol.

[@SpeckyMcSporran]

Haha thanks! 👊

[@NOSKIPPIN]

I use Meguiars paste wax every few months but top up with this after every wash, I love it. Also, has to be the best smelling product out there!

[@SpeckyMcSporran]

You're right, it smells fantastic. 👍

[@vasileiospetropoulos2046]

A question sir autoglum rapid aqua wax does it last for 4 6 weeks? Or not? How often do you recommended to be applied? 2 times per months?

[@TheExStig]

I'll be buying this after watching this very good demonstration of a product. Question: Would applying Autoglym EGP on top of this wax be pointless?

[@SpeckyMcSporran]

Yes, I'd say EGP is more of a base layer of protection and Rapid Aqua Wax would a topper after every wash.

[@mileshandy1806]

Great review simple explanation about this product I use it but it may be a bit costly however when it is easy to use and works well you can your car looking great all the time I will look out for more thanks 👍

[@klompjes002]

is it slippery when you go whit your nails over it,the quick cleaner is slippery

[@YA-ee9zf]

Btw you can do this with any wax even liquid waxes you don’t have to dry the car first. Try it and see for yourself

[@tryan137]

Hi Specky I have been using this product for the last 6 months after every wash. (Usually every 2 weeks). The car is not garaged but the paint looks terrific. Depth of shine really impressive. Ps car is 16 years old and dark metallic green.

[@SpeckyMcSporran]

Awesome, I really like it. Glad you're keeping an older motor looking good 😎👍

[@paulquickmire2379]

Hiya Specky, I've been using this for a while, but would love your thoughts on this. Watched your review on AG polar range (which was great by the way) and bought the set. The question would be in your view, when to use the aqua wax and when to use polar seal???? My van gets washed every week at the moment with 2 bucket method, ag bodywork shampoo and conditioner then aqua wax. But because of the size of the van, liked the idea of the polar range. The colour is gypsum which is a metallic purple/blue which shines up really well with aqua wax. Once again great video, keep up the good work.

[@SpeckyMcSporran]

This is the main question you should ask yourself - do you care about water spots? Rapid Aqua Wax is great at adding protection and helping to dry the van but obviously it's a bigger vehicle so it would be harder to dry and buff it. Polar Seal is great at adding protection very quickly and easily but you'd have to dry it if water spots are an issue. If not then I'd say Polar Seal is for you.

[@paulquickmire2379]

The van is always dried afterwards as it's got windows all round and the colour really shows up water spots. In theory should I use the polar range more in winter and continue with normal regime in summer??

[@SpeckyMcSporran]

If you dry the van every time then I'd say there's not much difference. The Aqua Wax is apply-dry-buff all at the same time and Polar Seal is apply-rinse-dry so the end result is the same but the application method is slightly different. Personal preference really.

[@paulmcrobbie5830]

@@SpeckyMcSporran Paul Quickmire I use Polar Seal I then take the car for a quick drive I only then need to dry the water that collects on the back of the car. The car comes up great. Just do not let the water dry on the car.

[@SpeckyMcSporran]

I've done that a few times when I'm too lazy to properly dry it 😂

[@peterclifton5854]

Great video I’ve used this product myself gives great results 👍

[@Zulek85]

Hello. Can You tell me, if i plan to wash my car once a month, Rapid Aqua Wax would give the same gloss, protection and depth as Extra Gloss Protection, just last shorter? I'm the guy, who like to maintance more often with shorter durability products (have everything under control).

[@SpeckyMcSporran]

Rapid Aqua Wax should last a month though it may not have the strength of EGP as it applies thin and doesn't cure. It should have similar gloss and depth.

[@Zulek85]

@@SpeckyMcSporran Would You use Super Resin Polish on "healthy" paint or only swirls etc. or every time as SRP and EGP should boost together? Won't SRP dim EGP gloss?

[@SpeckyMcSporran]

SRP is a very gentle polish, you can use it on healthy paint to gently cleanse it and enhance gloss before adding protection. Polish is what ultimately gives the best gloss rather than wax or sealant.

[@petethompson1282]

The silicone sealants are still.better than the new ceramic sealants

[@SpeckyMcSporran]

Some are, I have a soft spot for a few that's for sure.

[@huttonsteel731]

Just bought some of this with a view to winter. Your video is so informative. The Autoglym videos are a bit short so I really appreciate your video. Many thanks!

[@SpeckyMcSporran]

Glad you liked it 👍🏻

[@IL-TRIMONE-PUGLIESE]

Specky I would like ti use SRP but what would be a good and inexpensive alternative to Extra gloss protection? I was thinking of Aqua wax or Sonax High Speed ​​wax, but there are also some inexpensive hard waxes like Liqui Moly 1422 which seem to be very good. I think there would be no compatibility problems, right?

[@SpeckyMcSporran]

If you're worried about compatibility then stick to the same brand. Rapid Aqua Wax is good but doesn't last long. Rapid Ceramic Spray will last longer.

[@IL-TRIMONE-PUGLIESE]

@@SpeckyMcSporran I know that rapid ceramic wax has a longer life but it is a little more complex to use on cars like mine that have bumpers and other unpainted plastic parts. In fact Autoglym says not to use it on unpainted parts. If the final result after SRP is similar between Aqua wax and rapid ceramic spray and the only difference is the shorter duration, perhaps in some cases it would be better to use Aqua wax after each wash, without buying the extra gloss protection I suppose. Or do you have experience using another combo with another brand after SRP?

[@danielginj5006]

Morning! I’m a “Weekend warrior” about to venture into the world of cleaning/ maintaining my own car (rather than pay someone to do it) I got the autoglym bag with my car when purchased it and this is one of the products I’m most looking forward to using. Just out of interest how many microfibre cloths do you think I would need to use if applying this to the whole car? I notice you said the autoglym one was pretty wet after just the bonnet. Is it good practice then to use more than one cloth for the applying/ buffing the whole car?

[@SpeckyMcSporran]

Great question! You could wring out the towel after each panel to maintain its absorbency but there's also nothing wrong with using multiple towels. They've included two and I've definitely managed to go around a whole car with the towels they've provided. Keep in mind that the first towel isn't meant to get the car completely dry, just enough to remove the majority of the water and to spread the wax. Hope that helps 🤞

[@sicks6six]

ASDA triple wax @ £5 a litre, apply wet, cant beat it, all triple waxes are good for paintwork,

[@helensmith2246]

Demon shine, polymer, cheap, from carplan also, is underrated just spray as you dry.

[@SpeckyMcSporran]

I haven't tried Demon Shine yet but Jon at Forensic Detailing Channel says it's not bad.

[@yassorour4055]

Hi thank you for your video. I was wondering to know can I use aqua wax directly after polishing by super resin polish ? Or I need do something before spraying aqua wax? Thanks

[@SpeckyMcSporran]

Yes you can! It's a wet wax so usually you'd wash your car then apply Aqua Wax after rinsing but it can be used as a spray wax on dry cars too.

[@yassorour4055]

@@SpeckyMcSporran ❤ thank you

[@darreng-g]

Can you use this on on the shiny plastic window surround?

[@SpeckyMcSporran]

Yes shiny plastic is fine

[@GlenAnderson71]

What happened to the other wax Autoglym had where you apply with a polishing cloth like you would with the resin polish ?

[@SpeckyMcSporran]

Are you talking about Extra Gloss Protection? It's a runny watery sealant that you tip onto a towel and spread.

[@GlenAnderson71]

@@SpeckyMcSporran not that one . There used to be a wax you could apply after the resin polish but im talking about 7-8 years ago so maybe they discontinued it

[@SpeckyMcSporran]

Hmm not sure which one that was.

[@jamesbartlett5005]

Hi specky. Just subbed. I have found with aqua wax that if u use too soft a buffing cloth it will tend to grab the paint so that's why AG recommend those cloths. Also i use it for routine wash but I'm not sure on its longevity so a good paste wax every few months is a good idea. Keep up the great vids.

[@SpeckyMcSporran]

Thanks James, over only ever used it with the towels it came with so that's good to know. It's not a very long lasting wax but if you use it like a drying aid after every wash then you'll keep layering the wax. Glad you're enjoying the videos! 👊

[@toshlanark]

[@SpeckyMcSporran]

What kind of marks are left? If it's water marks (when rain drops dry on the panel) then that's fairly normal and not an issue with the aqua wax.

[@ajackson-ross7295]

@@SpeckyMcSporran when I’ve put wax on it looks lovely all nice and shiny but soon as it rains marks all over I thought autogylm it’s would just run off

[@ajackson-ross7295]

Can ask a question when I clean my car after what is detail spray the aqua resin wax and the difference with the autogylm ultra high definition wax do I have to do them every time I wash mycar

[@SpeckyMcSporran]

I would recommend you use either the rapid aqua wax or detailing spray after every wash to keep it looking good. Ultra High Definition wax is to be used for long term protection, every 4 - 6 months.

[@ajackson-ross7295]

What detailing spray have you looked at yumcars there products look gd

[@4to6months]

Can you also apply the product on a dry car?

[@SpeckyMcSporran]

Definitely but there are cheaper waxes for dry use. This is more expensive because it can be used wet and has two towels with it.

[@4to6months]

@@SpeckyMcSporran cheers pal 👍 another quick sorry, if I apply it dry do I just wipe it over 1 dry microfiber cloth?

[@SpeckyMcSporran]

I haven't used it dry but I'd assume so. If it's streaky then use a lightly dampened cloth to remove it and a dry one to buff the shine.

[@4to6months]

Waxing, not polishing.

[@IL-TRIMONE-PUGLIESE]

Hey Specky, can I use Aqua Wax after Super resin polish as if it were a sealant to use after each wash? I don't want to spend any more money to buy the Extra gloss protection but the question is whether Aqua wax can be a replacement. Thanks and greetings from Italy.

[@SpeckyMcSporran]

Yes it can but it doesn't last long so you'll get best performance from applying it after every wash.

[@rmca11]

Hi Specky, I see that this video is 2 years old now but how would you rate this against Turtle Wax Hybrid Sealant (ICE)? Do you still use this Rapid Aqua Wax even though there are newer products?

[@SpeckyMcSporran]

It's a wet application product so I wouldn't rate it against the sealants. I'd suggest a newer alternative would be Turtle Wax Hybrid Wet Wax but keep in mind it is ceramic wax rather than a more traditional product like the AutoGlym aqua wax. It's still a good product and useful that it comes with two towels.

[@Abdul_Samet_Yilmaz]

Can i ise that also for the car windows

[@SpeckyMcSporran]

I'm not sure. Probably best to go with a dedicated glass sealant.
