An excellent liquid carnauba wax.
A superb liquid wax from the detailing geeks. Five stars.This is a superb product from the Chemical Guys. I am not one to buy into their hype and I choose my purchases carefully. I have to say, this was a good purchase. If you are buying this product, consider buying the Chemical Guys applicator pads, shown in this link Chemical Guys MIC_292_08 Premium Grade Microfiber Applicators, Blue (Pack of 8)The applicator pads above will make your work a lot easier.Okay, so a lot of reviews have been written about this product and many praise its ease of use. Let me say that it is indeed easy to use compared to a paste wax. But let me also say, it is not as easy to use as a spray wax. Let's be honest, for ease of use, you cannot beat a good spray wax like Turtle Wax Ice Spray Wax and Meguiar's Ultimate Quick Wax. This product, the Buttery Wet Wax, has a thick consistency and there will be some resistance during the application. It is really like melted butter. That is why you should also buy the applicator pads to make things easy for you. The product will remove easily after application.This is a carnauba product and will thus provide great shine. The shine is superior to what you get with the spray waxes that I listed above. However, know that the synthetic spray waxes that I mentioned above will last longer on the paint and they have superior water beading properties. I bought this Buttery Wet Wax to try it out. I am pleased with the results. I am pleased with the product. There is a place for it in your car care arsenal. However, I think for my needs, the spray waxes are a better fit. I have two cars. They are older, higher mileage vehicles. Shine is not my main concern any more. Protection of the paint and the sheet metal is my priority. For that, a less shiny but longer lasting product is a better choice for me.Your car's paint and its clear coat have two jobs to do: protect the metal and give a pleasing appearance. A clear coat that is no longer shiny may no longer do the best job of making the car look good but it is still doing its job of protecting the sheet metal from the elements. For that reason, I do not use buffers and polishers on my cars. Not ever. Because I do not like to remove any clear coat material from my car. I would rather live with a few scratches and a less shiny appearance than to sacrifice some of the clear coat for the sake of appearance. I do not like that trade off. Obviously, car detailers have never made any money off of me! Some may tell you that in order to seal your car properly, the top layer of the clear coat must be removed in order for the sealant to bond properly. I do not think that is entirely true. Yes, a sealant will bond better to a perfectly clean and buffed surface, but that sealant is not going to provide as good a protection as your clear coat. To me, it's better to leave the clear coat alone. Regular use of a good quality wax, whether synthetic or carnauba, is fine even for scratched paint. As long as the surface is fairly clean of dust and dirt, the wax will stick. Buffing removes clear coat material. If your main goal is to protect the sheet metal for as long as you can, then you do not want to remove any clear coat just for the sake of making the paint look good.Whatever your goal might be and whatever the condition of your paint, this product will offer an improvement in appearance. And if you apply it often, it will provide protection from the elements. Granted, it will not bead water as strongly as the spray products mentioned above but this Buttery Wet Wax has enough protection to make the water slide away from the paint. It is an excellent product and one of the best products of its kind in its price range.Some people do not like the hydrophobic spray waxes like the ones that I listed above. They can irritate your lungs. Think about it. Any surface they coat will want to repel water. So what happens when the fine mist gets in your contact lenses? Depending on how much of the mist gets into your contact lenses, you can kiss those lenses goodbye. Yes, those spray waxes are very effective at pushing water away. I wear a disposable paper filter for my nose and mouth when I spray my car with those products. They can irritate your lungs. For those who do not want to wear a mask or for those who wear contact lenses, try a liquid wax like Buttery Wet Wax instead of a synthetic spray wax. You will notice less irritation from your contact lenses. A liquid wax is probably the better alternative if you are sensitive to the spray waxes. Do you notice irritation from your eyes after using a spray wax? Do you cough after spraying your car with wax? Now you know why. Don't get me wrong. I use spray wax more than any other type because they are easy to use. But I take precaution and use a filter, like the disposable ones you can buy from the hardware store, whenever I wax the cars. With the Buttery Wet Wax, I do not have to use a filtered mask. Please, let me know if this suggestion has helped you.This is a terrific product. Waxes and sealants come in many forms. This is one of the easier ones to use. It works great. And if you keep your car under a shelter, it can last you for a few weeks. Avoid parking in the hot sun to extend the life of the wax. Highly recommended.

Chemical Guys don’t disappoint
I have been slowly switching over from Meguiars to Chemical Guys. This is my first time using their wax’s and sealants. Very impressed. All were easy to apply and did a great job. I didn’t get the usual ‘dust’ from other wax’s. Finish is buttery smooth and glass like shine. Went on smooth and I was able to remove easily following instructions on the bottles. I bought the 16oz of each and so far I have done 2 vehicles and barely used any of it. I figure I can get 4-6 uses from each bottle. Jet seal was a little on pricey side and time will tell if it’s worth it.Image is a combo of using:P4Jet SealButter Wax

Goes on Easy. Polishes to an easy shine!
I applied this to my silver grey car about three weeks ago. I would recommend washing and drying your vehicle well, since this is a wax, and not a cleaning polish. Once the car was clean and dried, I started applying the Butter. Has a nice, thick texture that spreads easily on the surface, and as others have pointed out, has a pleasant aroma of banana. Smells more like a sun tan lotion than a car wax.I started in the front and did one complete side of the car before buffing it off. When I went over the waxed side with my microfiber buffing cloth, a lovely shine emerged across the surface. Really easy to buff off! In fact, practically no effort at all. I just ran the towel over the car and watched the shine come up. After washing and drying, the job or waxing went much more quickly than usual. No muss, no fuss.Because you need only to apply a very thin layer of the stuff to coat the finish, it doesn't take much to do the job. I used a relatively small amount - maybe an eighth of the bottle for an SUV Crossover vehicle.The price seemed a little steep. I was relying on the good reviews when I ordered it. But I feel much more confident now about the value. If I order again, I might go for the gallon size, because it seems a MUCH better value, ounce for ounce. I'm wondering what else around the house I could wax with this!The shine on my car isn't what some described on their dark colored vehicles, but it's noticeable on my light grey that there is a nice shine. And unless it's my imagination, I think that despite not washing the car since, it seems to be staying noticeably cleaner, too.Too soon to say how long the coating will last. But it's nice while it does.

Great
This may be the easiest wax I have ever used. Goes on easy and wipes off super quick. You don’t have to wait for it to haze before you wipe it off. I can’t speak to the longevity of the shine, but the initial shine is fantastic.

This stuff is great.
I love this stuff- I used it early on in my ownership of a 2017 Ford Explorer XLT- (Dark grey metallic). I believe after the years- those early applications really assisted with the clear coat paint restoration. I gave that car a good cleaning before handing it down to one of my kids. The shine was still as good as the day I got it. This Butter Wet Wax worked wonders on that.Today, I put a couple coats on a used 2020 Acura RDX (canyon bronze metallic). I hoping to get the same benefits I had with the Ford. The coat on this is a little more imperfect in areas -93k miles on it so it’s been around. But, this Butter Wet Wax again brings out the best in any painted surface. It shines great. Plus it makes future hand washes easier, and when it rains, the water just flys off it, along with dirt/ dust.This is great for any car aesthetic maintenance- keep using it and it gets better.
