    I've been sporting Pete's 53 on my car for the last 3 months now. As usual, I always have 3 layers of UPGP as a base under my nuba. Because of the rains, I have only been able to wash my car like 3 x in the last 3 months. I just got done washing my car after a whole month of rain and no washes and surprisingly, NOT ONE WATER SPOT. Don't know what your experience has been with this wax, but I think I found my combo for fighting water spots. With every other wax on top of the UPGP or other sealants, I have always ended up with a least a few water spots.

    It's a lovely wax, with crazy beading. That's probably why the water slides off the paint, making it harder for them to dry and leave waterspots!

    Checked the prices on this as not knowing anything about this product, at 25 bucks for 4 oz., thats a little pricy, imho.

    It is actually very cost effective though because a little goes a long way.

    Is 25 bucks price? No way, and you have the wax for MANY cars. Just a thin layer is enough. Great wax, for a nice price!

    It's possible if it contains pollutants like industrial fallout, etc...

    It has happened to my car before. My car was also hit by water from the sprinklers at work and still no water spots.
