I agree with wanabe. A product like this works best over an existing sealant or wax. From what I've heard, the durability is not that great with just the Eagle F1. I'm also curious to hear what you think of the product.

I have had good luck using Menzerna High Gloss Acrylic Shield as a spray on sealant following a maintenance wash. I prefer to use this product over Menzerna FMJ or one of the Klasse Twins. It tends to extend the durability of the sealant and bring out some additional depth and gloss.

Yes it "works."

Almost 100% of liquid waxes (the toothpaste looking ones) are pastes blended with water. The wax as you dry is the same thing, except it has MUCH more water. So, when you spray your car with it, and begin to wipe, you are spreading a very thin layer of wax over the car. It works pretty well if your car is already waxed with REAL wax, and you just want to give it a quick rinse and rejuvinate the shine.

I actually have a spare blender, so I started to make my own wax as you dry spray. Ill take some gold class, and some poland spring, blend it, and spray away. Same result, 1/8th of the cost.

It does work for me. I usually do a real "wax job" in the spring and in the fall (usually a good detail and 3 coats of Liquid Glass) but I use the Wax as u dry weekly with washing and the car looks great and water just rolls off the car.

It works for me as well. I've been lazy and haven't done a real wax job in a awhile. I used the Eagle One Wax-As-U-Dry after wash and clay and good results followed. I probably should put on another coat or two of Mother's Carnauba Wax. though.
