The Meguiars Car wax preserved thoroughly pre-cleaned paint very well. The paint looks after treatment as good as new. The application goes smoothly and without much effort. Then polishing with a soft cloth and you're done. BUT: Big caution in plastic parts. Mir is defying care three times a small wiper of wax came into the roof rail carrier and the bumper. It took infinitely much trouble, the abzubekommen and went ultimately only with a special plastic cleaner and much much manual labor. Sooo hard removing car wax should not be. therefore only 3 stars.
