Bad124, I must admit that i can't tell much difference either. They both seem to work very well. The fact that neither 'stains' the rubber trim is really the best part about using them.

Haze?

I saw the Meguiar’s Quick Wax when I purchased the Eagle One. The Meguiar’s product said something about letting the wax "haze up" before you wiped it off, so it sounded more like regular wax. I thought it would turn into a real mess if I used it with a wet vehicle. I didn’t try it. I just went for the eagle One and it worked like a charm.

Thumbs up I LOVE Eagle One Wax As You Dry

I used Eagle One again and I just can’t believe how wonderful my car looks by simply washing it and how beautifully it dries when using the Eagle One product. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS STUFF.

Eagle One Wax As You Dry on Dried Cars

Sorry to bring back the 2 years old post.

I have a question, how do I apply Eagle One Wax As You Dry on my car after comming home from a carwash place. Eagle One web site indicates that it can be used on wet or dry surface, but no instructions how to do it on dry surface. Did anyone uses Eagle One Wax As You Dry on dry surface ? If you did, how did you do it ?

Just apply it to one panel at a time & wipe off again after a few seconds.
DO NOT do this in the sun or on a hot car, as it may leave streaks.

Yup, this stuff is good.

I use it on my Jeep Cherokee (metallic green) and it does look nice, dark, shiny, and feels slick. So yeah it works.

Don't use it under the sun as others have said, you will get streaks. No big deal though, you just have to 'quick detail' the streaks out.

I've yet to use it on my Benz, but I will

Use a damp towel to apply it, wait a few seconds & shine up with a dry towel.
Don't forget to shake the bottle now & then.

This is good stuff. I need to go get some more though, as I am out. It gives it a good shine, but to protect the paint, I still use a good quality qax every 3-6 months. I like this stuff, as it gives it a brilliant shine, without the hassle of waxing by hand.

Thumbs up

I tried it today on Honda S2000, using damp microfiber cloth. I'd dilute with 80% water and 20% Eagle One. It was very easy to apply and dry off with cotton towel. The paint suface is much smoother after it was done.

I will apply wax as-u-dry on wife's E430 next week.

Thanks a lot to all.

Holy crap this sounds good. Need to buy ASAP. Funny thing is I looked at the bottle at the store once, but as soon as I heard wax as you dry I didnt believe it. I guess it is time to get some haha.

Thumbs up Eagle One Wax As-U-Dry on E430

Today I tried Eagle One Wax As-U-Dry on E430.
The car was in garage after comming home from carwash, the hood was warm so I waited 1 hour for it to cool down. I sprayed diluted Eagle One to the trunk lid, roof and the hood in that order, then using damp microfiber to rub it in circular motion just like buffing from the trunk toward the hood. Then I used dry cotton towel to dry from the trunk to the hood. After the top was dried, I went to work on the sides. All of these works took less than 30 minures. The paint was very smooth when I touched it and it was very shinny. It was just like I spent several hours waxing and buffing.
The Honda S2000 was done last week and it still is shinning and smooth to the touch today. It looks like I do not need to use Eagle One Wax As-U-Dry more than once a month. Great product for lazy person like me

It is cheap too, one bottle can be used more than ten times, becaused I diluted it with water and the ratio is 4:1

Yeah, it is good stuff. I need to get some more, and wash my cars. It gives it a nice deep shine that you get when you wax your car.
