Default Wash & Wax

Example:

I get the wash part. Does it really wax? Just want to hear some opinions?

I'm not asking if this will replace a traditional old fashion hand polish wax job.

Does it really do what it said it does?

I'm usually pretty wary of stuff like that which claims to combine more than one detailing "step" into a single product.

I used to always use that spray on "wax as U dry" product, that you spray onto your wet car after final rinse and then dry with MF towel. I thought it worked pretty well but I was told by a local expert detailer (like PandaMan expert) that the stuff wasn't a good idea to use, like it would break down the waxes and polishes previously applied or something like that.

So while I can't really address your actual question, I can just say that my own personal opinion is that I wouldn't use it.

That is the car wash I use. I would not call it a substitute for a conventional wax job but it seems to make the wax that I apply last a bit longer than other car wash products I have used. I really like it but I dont know if there is anything better. Its the best that I have tried though.
