For the longest time I was curious as to how well this stuff worked since their was a time where I used everything from AMSOIL. Well I finally purchased a bottle. At first I couldn't figure out whether it was a polish ONLY or whether it was sort of a polish/wax. So I called amsoil and he told me it was a polish only....didn't look or feel like it to me. It smelled very....strong. Lots of waxes tend to smell like cocoa butter. AMSOIL smelled like turpentine. So finally one day me and a friend got around to washing my car. We then claybared it properly. We then applied the AMSOIL with a buffer. When we were done applying, letting dry and wiping we took a look at the car. It didn't seem like anything special. But we continued to use meguiars wax over it. When all was said and done the car looked nice. But AMSOIL didn't work wonders like I hoped it would hehe.
