Lucas Slick Mist speed wax (liquid spray)

A fellow charger driver recommended me this product (Lucas Slick Mist) and I have to say, "it's amazing!!~! show room shine and oily as heck! but also watery."

I totally recommend this product!

From website:
Quote:
KEY BENEFITS

Premium Paint Gloss Intensifier
Great for Cars, Trucks, Boats, and Airplanes
Shines and Protects in One Easy Application
Excellent Results on Chrome, Glass and Vinyl Decals
Use on Wet or Dry Surfaces
Quick and Easy
Ease of Application
I've tried Meguiar's, Mothers, Turtle, and Armor all.

Hands down, Lucas Slick Mist is the thinnest, but nicest product! The shine is nice and lasts about 3 weeks under normal cool temperatures and 2 weeks approx with rain. It smells like bubblegum and a pleasure to use.

I'll get pics tomorrow if it's dry out and good light for pics.

I give Meguiars wax a 8/10, Mother's a 7/10, 7/10 Armor All, Turtle a 8/10 but its thick and stinky and Lucas a 9/10. There is no product for quick wax i'd give a 10/10 atm.



bam!


p.s. this is not 'REAL' wax! I have my car waxed with carnauba. This is what I use as a detailer for shine and 'xtra' protection aka mini wax or lazy man's wax!

+1 for Lucas Slick Mist! I've been using it since last spring and absolutely love the stuff!

One word of advice though...If you have kids that still live at home and have their own car, don't let them know about this stuff or you'll always have an empty bottle!

I overuse it all the time and end up with streaks in sun

Still it's amazing fun to spray!

"Lucas" .... "Slick Mist" ..... "Fast & Easy" ..... "Speed Wax" ........

Don't ask me why ..... but, that struck me as funny ........ maybe because I drove an MGB for 10 years ......

"Lucas" brought to mind this:

I haven't had a taste of these in over... 10-15 years now. My uncle used to buy these for me all the time. None of the Mexican stores around my neighborhood sells these.

To provide relevance toward the thread, I'll try this out once the Turtle Wax spray runs out. I dunno why you think its stinky, I love the smell. :P

Any 100% cotton or microfiber. I buy mine from Orilleys. Red and gray ones. Cost about $7 for 3 or 4.

Today i washed my car and use Lucas slick mist. And i noticed a slighty more shine, but im more interested the UV protection. The car is hot lava, so as long the car is washed will shine anyway. But i give a plus, specially the candy scent

I leave a bit of wetness and spray it right away or use a humid/wet towel and dry car as im applying spray.

BTW, in terms of protection i'd make sure car is waxed beforehand.

The Lucas spray is just a shine enhancer as i've come to find. I called Lucas down in LA and they stated its more of a detailer than a 'wax,' but can be used any way I like... lol


Still waiting for sunny day so i can grab pics.
