Bilt Hamber BHDSW250 Double Speed-Wax 250ml

Ok so firstly let's set the scene: I recently bought a new car (16 plate) and as it's new the novelty of looking after it, is very much in full swing. It's just a family car (crossover type), not a super expensive sports car, but I feel better and happier driving a clean car. I'm in no way a professional car cleaner (I.e don't really know what I'm doing, I just like a shiny car!). I just clean it by hand with a bucket a sponge when the weathers nice! I bought this wax based on the positive reviews and it didn't disappoint. I found it extremely easy to apply. I had cleaned my car first and dried it, before using the applicator pad supplied to rub the wax on. What I found great about this wax, is that a little goes a long way and I do mean a little. I can see a single tub of wax lasting me years and years, probably longer than my ownership of the car itself! It's also very easy to remove, although if you've applied too much (which I had in some areas), then it can take more effort to buff off, but a bit of elbow grease and it generates a stunning level of glossy shine. The wax when dry, like most car waxes dries to a haze no matter what surface its on. However, I found it just as easy to buff off the wax on the plastic / rubber bumpers/trim and chrome surrounds as I did the metal body of the car. Which was a huge plus, as some waxes are a nightmare to remove from the plastic bits. The shine is great, the car even feels as glossy as it now looks! it's too early for me to comment on durability but I do feel that ease of use, the fact it can be buffed off of plastic and leave it looking great rather than marked and the cost vs how long it will last, have firmly made this my 'go to' wax. It also doesn't generate a large amount of 'dust' which can often plague a newly waxed car. Edit: a week later and dirt just doesn't stick. It's still extremely shiny and if I wipe my hand over any droplets of dirt for example, they just come off as if it were dust. Usually I'd have to scratch or rub the dirt off. Very impressed had lots of nice comments especially people thinking it's just been cleaned! It's impressed me and I would happily recommend it.

After restoring the paint on my car with Farecla G3 (see separate review) I wanted to protect it with a good quality wax. I've used lots of waxes in the past: Autoglym, Turtlewax etc and although I got some nice results with products like these, I found the bottle and spray waxes were not that durable and the paste waxes in tins were better, but harder to remove. I like the shine I got with Carnauba waxes and the fact that they're are a bit more natural and have less harsh chemicals, so decided to try Bilt Hamber Double Speed Wax. The tinned product came with a foam sponge applicator and good quality micro-fibre cloth. It is a fairly hard wax but is easy to apply and you don't need much at all so coverage and economy is good. I left the product to cure on the car for a few minutes and then rubbed it off with a little bit of effort, but it's easier than other products which seem to set like concrete if you don't get them off the paint quickly enough. Then using the micro-fibre cloth I buffed the paint to a glossy smooth shine. The results are that in any light the car looks a lot better, but when the sun comes out (hopefully/sometimes) it really looks great now.. as in showroom/concours condition!...(imho) The product causes water to bead really well after rain etc and after a few washes is still going strong. The car is actually easy to clean now and hopefully the wax will protect the car over the summer months until I prep the car for winter with another coat of the wax in the autumn. The only condition I would put on this product is that it is a pure wax and not a polish so don't expect it to remove blemishes in the paint like a polish would, so it's obviously best to fix any underlying issues you might have before using this product. Hope this helps! Ps. Product is made in the UK also...

This was easy to apply and buff off. It takes a little time to do the whole car but it's worth the effort. It leaves a lovely smooth finish and nice shine. It's supposed to last for a long time, time will tell, I'm very happy with it so far.

Previous to this, i've used AutoGlym and Farecla. Compared to those, it's equally as easy to apply, but leaves less powdery residue in all your nooks and crannies. As a wax polish, it's amazing. I can apply this to my truck and drive all through the winter and the rainwater still beads up six months later. I've just washed my truck and applied a new coat, almost a year since the last one and it was still beading up. As previously mentioned, a little does go a long way and the sponge applicator pad makes this a simple task. The buffing cloth is a generous size and it needs to be, as it does take a bit more elbow grease to buff off, compared to my previously used products. However, the extra elbow grease required is well worth the effort, due to the durability of the wax.

This is a super product you only need a little bit to do a lot. Leaves the bodywork smooth and shiny. It doesn't take long to clean bodywork.

Excellent product, easy to use, a little goes a long way, used after a fresh polish and it went on and came off very easily. Use sparingly.

Amazing product Little Tin but will last for a long time Perfect smooth finish

In short it leaves marks on the plastics , on the paint work it buffs up nice but its nowt special , bought this on reviews so thought id try it on the wifes new Mini Countryman but was left disappointed. This reminds me of the problems with the autoglym polish where the residue marks the plastic trims and rubbers , ive now gone back to maguires tech wax and its so much easier and better

Pro: -Ein wirklich sehr gutes Wachs, mit beachtlicher Standzeit. -sehr gutes Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis. -auch nach Wochen lässt sich Schmutz mühelos abspülen -mitgeliefertes Tuch ist sehr effektiv - davon kann man mehr bestellen. Con: -Der mitgelieferte Schwamm ist nicht lange zu gebrauchen -Dose könnte einen etwas größeren Durchmesser haben, um das Wachs optimal zu entnehmen Darauf achten, dass das Wachs wirklich sehr dunn aufgetragen wird, andernfalls muss beim Auspolieren Kraft aufgewendet werden.... Fazit: Sehr gutes Wachs muss nicht zu Mondpreisen eingekauft werden.

Por fin decidí probar esta cera después de años usando la gama Meguiars. Debo decir que esta cera da un salto de calidad substancial. Muy facil de aplicar y sacar brillo y deja el coche como recién salido del concesionario. Si que es verdad que debes trabajarlo pero nada excesivo. Veo en otras reseñas que os ha costado quitarlo pero mi conclusión es que estáis aplicando demasiado. Realmente se debe aplicar a la mínima expresión tal como indica la lata. Parece que no vaya a cubrir pero tened paciencia. Yo lo dejo 4 o 5 minutos y pulir con el trapo proporcionado y listo. He puesto 3 capas a lo largo de 7 días y al tacto y a la vista es impresionante. Le eché un cubo de agua de grifo y toda el agua le resbaló en segundos y una vez secado no quedaba rastro de marcas. Un diez para este producto. Es verdad que Meguiars es más rápido al aplicar pero no da el lustro que tendrás con esta cera. Aplicarlo a la sombra y con la carrocería bien lavada y paciencia.

I bought Bill Hamber Double Speed Wax on the recommendation of Stuart Fillingham on YouTube. I use it on my motorcycle and car. It has lasted very well and I'll be buying it again.

塗りこみも拭き取りも重たい、ど素人に厳しいワックス。

One of the best waxes I have ever used with the nicest results but don't leave it on too long before wiping it off can be very difficult to get off
