Ioncoat® Naviwax (Dark) – £34.99 / Plus 2 microfibre cloths – £45.99
A wax. This stuff is officially sorted! The Dark is specifically made for darker paints including Red cars. The Light Naviwax is made for paler coloured cars such as white, silver and yellow. We were astounded at how good the Dark really worked. It’s made in Japan and the container it’s in is cool-looking. The instructions are all in Japanese but for our sakes there are proper instructions on the tub in English.
First off, application. It comes with its own applicator sponge which should be damped slightly to make spreading the wax around easier. It contains Grade 1 Carnauba wax and hardly any is needed as it spreads a long, long way around the car’s bodywork. We liked the fact that as soon as you apply it, it can (and needs to) be buffed off again as there’s no ‘curing’ time at all. The buffing off part is very easy and virtually no effort is needed. You can also use it on windows, chrome and and plastic trim, where it works well too.
The shine is instant and deep on paintwork and really makes any metallic paints ‘pop’ out. Most waxes will provide decent water beading, but the Naviwax is simply astounding and takes beading to a whole new level where it will do it time and time again for a lot of car washes before you need to re-apply it. We used the ultra soft microfibre cloths with it that they provided (you can also buy these) and they worked well too. We totally loved this product and recommend it highly.
10/10 Worked excellently, amazing shine, great value for money and great as a multi-pupose wax.
The tin I used had all instructions in Japanense and I would really like an English translation.
Having only used it once on my Toyota Auris, I am really impressed. We have had a lot of rain over this week-end and the car was washed yesterday. The first time since I polished it and it looks as if I only polished it an hour ago. No water marks or anything. I was not sure if I should use it on the windows, but your report informs me I can. Thank you
