BMW Hard Wax from Seal & Protect bags

It's not great value as we know. However my post is about the bags of kit that you get with it.

Shampoo, tyre trim everything. I've never used the hard wax yet that you get in these. I've built up quite a collection, can anyone comment. Hard wax sounds like hard work applying but resilient as heck I'm sure?

Not sure about the BMW stuff. My car had "William's ceramic" applied from new. Seems excellent. Also got a "suitcase" full of Williams ceramic products and another kit to reapply the body protection in a year or so

Some chap called William 'glazed' your car! That's fighting talk!

Thanks Nick. With all the peeing rain recently I guess it's been great as it's still so new, beading tastic.

I haven't washed it since I collected it, what seven weeks ago. Done 1500 miles. Still beading, so pleased with this stuff. Have a chap coming this week to give it a good once over. Will be particularly interested in the wheels, as 'my man' sealed them with the Gtechniq stuff before they went on the car. Silver wheels looking a dark shade of grey ATM, should come up like new

I haven't used the BMW stuff but I use Bilt Hamber double speed wax which is a small pot of hard wax. You put it on with a small sponge and polish off with a micro fibre cloth, and it is great. Easiest wax I have used for putting on and polishes off and buffs up easily. I did my car a couple of months ago and it is still beading as good as the day it went on. Bilt Hamber suggest doing it every 6 months and I can believe it lasting that long.

The BMW hard wax is decent stuff, very quick and easy to apply, and lasts well.

Bought a pack of BMW products on Ebay for a steal, mainly to get a mini rucksack (they came in) for my son, been impressed with a few of them.

Ditto, I've used the BMW hard wax on 4 different cars now. Applies really easy and buffs off nicely. Beads well when wet.
Not sure how long it lasts as I've not kept a car long enough yet

It's all decent stuff, it's Sonax rebranded pretty much.

They also do a nice small winter kit in the same style bag.

Fits in bottom floor of the hearse no problem.

Used the hard wax on my previous BMW, came up really well.

I have unopened bottles of the BMW hard wax at home.I think the "hard" bit is applying it. It was difficult to get a decent finish and felt dated compared to the likes of Gtechniq.
