A big thumbs-up for R222 wax. Insanely easy to use and a wonderful deep, wet-looking finish. I’m sure it’ll need reapplying more than something like Collonite, but that suits me fine as it’s a piece of cake to put on (you don’t even need to leave it to haze) and I enjoy waxing my car.

@Heavenly, thank you.

Be interested to see how long you think it lasts.
What colour is your car again?

White with a black roof, black rear panel and black carbon. I reckon it’ll last longer than I leave it between waxing. Probably a few months.

I looked at a few reviews of this, which indicate it lasts around 1 month:

We can see why it won #1 in the catagory above some very expensive waxes in the premium waxes category of the wax test. On application the paint immediately looks deeper, glossier and 'wetter'. All these positives come with a downside though and with this wax is its durability. One application will not in the UK climate last much more than a month. Thats fine if you are an enthusiast but may not suit everyone. To improve durability we have found prepping the car with Carlack Systematic Care gave a great base. Adding durability whilst cleaning and prepping the surface.

That suits me well enough. It's so insanely easy to apply that I reckon I could do the whole car in twenty minutes to half an hour.
