Anyone used this before? it looks like a really good quality wax to give an ultimate wet look to the paint, which is what im really after.

Its a 9 colour flip paint. The trouble is that in some light conditions it goes really bright yellow, gold, pink. But when the suns at certain angles it goes a very dark green and purple.
When its overcast and the sun isnt out it just looks like oil when mixed with water that you see on the road after its been raining.
A lot of waxes are designed for dark, or light colours so i need to find one that can cater for all types of paint colour/shade.
Butter wax is a great wet look wax, however durability isn't very good. I personally think of it as a show wax, and looks good on any colour.
Really depends on what you want from a wax, max bling look, durability or a bit of each.
Of the Chemical Guy's products I'd say the XXX hardcore for reasonably good looks and 2 month durability, 50/50 for bling looks for a week or so, then it tones down a little but lasts 2-3 months (still looks good but not quite as good as first week). Max bling has to be the butter wet wax, but durability is measured in days in summer and hours in wet/winter.
From here it also depends on what sort of price you want to pay for a wax, some of the high end waxes (Zymol or Swissol) will give the max look with great durability, however these do require their own cleaning/cleanse products before to ensure the best possible results.
Finally the end result is only as good as the preperation, even on Rage paints.

Have you tried the 50/50 wax? As I thought that XXX was good until I tried the 50/50 and it's much easier to use for a start and the flick in the paint seems better too.
