Featured Replies

In case you haven't seen this.

Amazon have Auto Finesse Spirit reduced from £90 to £48.

Before Desire this was the Auto Finesse top of the line wax and is an utter bargain at near half price.

And free delivery, because Amazon.

Please buy all these before I end up with 5 :)

You're costing me a fortune...

STOP IT!!!

:D  :rofl:  :rock:

 

Good Spot there Mark - i got both Desire and Illusion in the last half price sale!  :thumbup:

costs a packet viewing these forums.  So is it worth £100 or £50 for that matter, what does it do well?

Spec HERE

Although in terms of Spec, there appears to be no diffirence between 'Spirit' and 'Desire'

A question often asked

Is a £100 wax twice as good as a £50 one?

IMO...No....but ONLY my opinion

About

Over the years at Auto Finesse, we have learned that capturing the true Spirit of metallic and pearl finishes with a paste wax is a tricky business. Auto Finesse Spirit wax is the result of countless months of experimentation. We finally stumbled upon a high-carnauba blend that gave us the optical clarity and crisp gloss we desired. These two characteristics combine to awaken something that lies dormant in many paints: dazzling metallic flake pop! With this wax, you can summon its Spirit.

All Auto Finesse waxes are carefully blended by hand in Great Britain from the finest quality natural ingredients available, and bring with them the same philosophy of performance and beauty as the rest of our detailing products. The waxes we use treat your vehicle with nature’s own defense against the elements, giving it water repellency, and resistance to environmental pollution (Including UV-fading, acid rain, and bird droppings.). Let’s take a look at what else makes Auto Finesse Spirit special…

Auto Finesse Spirit contains 50% T1 Grade Brazilian Carnauba Wax by volume, with the remainder being made up by all natural Beeswax, Candelilla wax, and oils.

While many waxes and sealants can actually mute pearl and metallic paints, Spirit’s visual clarity, crispness, and gloss have the opposite effect. Pearls and metallics will truly sparkle.

The delicate Apple fragrance is juxtaposed with the immense protection that lies within every pot of Spirit, and 5-months of durability or more are easily achieved if layered.

Superb beading and sheeting combine with Spirit’s durability to help repel the worst, and wettest weather that spring, summer, fall, or winter have to offer.

Spirit is one of our professional-grade ‘hard’ waxes. Its firm consistency allows the wax to be spread in super-thin coats, minimizing waste, and making buff-off a breeze.

Whether your car or motorcycle has a modern clearcoat, or a classic single-stage paint system, Auto Finesse waxes will give it the protection it needs to survive the realities of everyday life. For the detailing professional or dedicated weekend enthusiast, there simply is no finer way to complete your flawless Auto Finesse style finish.

Application:

Before waxing, make sure that the vehicle is clean, and cool to the touch. If bonded contamination is present, use a Clay Bar to prep the surface for best results. If the paintwork is lightly marred, or the vehicle has not been polished in the last 6-12 months, it is also advisable to use one of our signature Pre-Wax Cleansers in order to create the maximum shine. Place an Auto Finesse Waxmate foam applicator inside the pot of wax, and rotate it half a turn to prime the pad with product. This is typically enough wax to protect a single moderately-sized panel, though this may vary depending upon the condition of the paintwork. Apply the wax to the panel with small, overlapping circular strokes, light pressure, and in a consistent pattern to obtain full coverage of the paint. If the applicator feels like it is starting to run dry across the surface, or coverage becomes uneven, return the applicator to the container using another quarter-turn of the pad to re-prime the foam. The goal when waxing is to apply the product as thinly and evenly as possible, since a little bit goes a very long way to protecting and enhancing the shine of your vehicle.

Once you have completed one normal-sized panel, or half of a large one, move on to another section of equal size. When you are done waxing the second section, you will be ready to buff off the wax from the first using a plush Microfiber Towel. Alternating in between buffing and waxing panels until the vehicle is fully protected allows you to maintain the ideal curing times for the wax, and makes for very easy removal of the remaining residue. Auto-Finesse Passion only takes a few minutes to cure, so take care not to let the product dry onto the surface. If the wax has been allowed to dry, or ‘secondary hazing’ of the wax occurs (A phenomenon which can sometimes happen in hot or humid climates, especially if the product was over-applied.), you can use a water-based QD like Auto-Finesse Finale to help ease removal of the residue. When applying multiple layers of wax for extra depth, wetness, and protection, make sure to wait at least 3-hours in between coats to allow the organic solvents to fully flash.

For best results, do not wax the vehicle if the ambient temperature is below (Approximately 6-degrees Celsius), or above 95-degrees Fahrenheit (35-Degrees Celsius). Waxing in direct sunlight, or conditions of high humidity can respectively lead to over, or under-curing of the product before removal.

And Desire

Auto Finesse Desire started life as a limited edition paste wax that crowned our line in 2011, but after all 500 pots were sold our customers simply wouldn’t allow it to be consigned to the history books. Back by popular demand, Desire once again stands tall alongside some of the most exclusive waxes that the world has to offer. With the highest carnauba solids content of all Auto Finesse waxes, and a unique melding of beauty and performance, this Desire is simply too good to let slip away…

Let’s take a look at what else makes Auto Finesse Desire special…

Auto Finesse Desire contains 54% T1 Grade Brazilian Carnauba Wax by volume, with the remainder being made up by all natural Beeswax, and oils.

With Passion’s liquid depth, Spirit’s optical clarity, and Soul’s glassy reflections blended together, Desire represents the ultimate Auto Finesse wax experience.

An ultra-high wax solids content gives Desire up to and exceeding 6-months of durability on a daily driven vehicle, which means all-year, all-season protection for your pride and joy.

Desire’s awesome water beading and sheeting is almost hypnotic to watch during a rain, as the drops turn into tight little balls, and speed off the paint leaving it clean and spot free.

An intoxicating wild berry aroma, an oily smooth texture that spreads for miles, and effortless buffing characteristics make this the Auto Finesse wax that everyone Desires.

Was that the one I bought off of you?

Have had samples of both of these & very nice waxes to use. IMO totally different, Desire IMO would be a nice summer wax giving what I would call a wet/warm look. Spirit has longer durability & more of a reflective look.

Thanks to the OP for posting details of the deal, bargain...IMO

Ask's wife for more pocket money, request declined   :S

I have a few waxes you can use at any time Andy....IMO though, White and Yellow would benefit more with a Sealant
