Well after having used Eagle 1 NanoWax Spray about 2-3 times I feel I should express my thoughs and feelings on it. Sorry no pictures, price breakdowns, etc. like some other members, just a couple of my thoughs. Please take this "mini review" with a grain of salt, as with everything YMMV



I picked this up while getting some car parts for my car a month or two ago at Autozone. I read a couple positive reviews on it here, and figured why not for a little over $6 with tax. This was my first use of any type of "spray wax" on my car. I knew I wasn't going to get great durability, but figured if this can save me time and conceal swirls (black Honda :hairpull ), it would be worth it. I don't have the time or patience to spend too much time detailing my car as often as I should.



The smell is pleasing to me (vanillaroma), but I can see it being bothersome to others. Application was pretty easy. I gave it a shake before using, lightly sprayed on, wiped it around with one MF, then removed with another MF. As for time saving, I really didn't see any compared to any other LSP. I did experience problems with it streaking on my black paint. My car was cool to the touch and was in the shade. I found I had to rewipe areas multiple times to get rid of them.



Appearance wise it looked good. It did give me a nice shine, and it did seem to hide some swirls somewhat. My car is black and hasn't been polished since the fall. Once I got it in direct sunlight the swirls weren't too too bad.



Durability was medicore. I wouldn't push it more than 2-3 weeks, which I expected for a spray wax that cost $6.



Overall I feel it's not a terrible product; but there are much better choices. Not to badmouth this particular product; but I'm not overly impressed with spray waxes as a whole. They really don't save me too much time, and aren't too cost effective for a weekend warrior like me. The streaking I got with my car also annoyed me because I had to rewipe areas that I already did, which could have induced more marring, and wasted more of my time.



I think I'm going to reserve this product for my door jambs. It wasn't too durable or too time efficient for me to choose it over any of my other dedicated LSPs.
 
Ive tried Nano spray and to me its a great product.I didnt have any streaking problem. As far as durability.3 to 5 weeks is all you can expect from a spray wax. Spray wax is not going to last a couple of months, it good if you apply it monthly or bimonthly. Its for people that want that just waxed look all the time. Although I like Nano spray, my new favorette is Aquawax. Aquawax looks like it will last much longer then Nano spray.

IDK, I only get 2-3 weeks out of it. It's a nice product I wouldn't trust it as a standalone LSP.





Does Nanowax spray apply/remove like a QD, the way Aquawax does? It seems from your review that Nanowax is more like Poorboy's QW+...a liquid wax that you are trying to force into becoming a spray.
 
Thanks for the informative mini-review. I find spray waxes to be really hard to classify and review - a lot of it depends on they way they are marketed...Is it a dedicated LSP or a "booster" wax? Thanks again for your thoughts.
 
lawrencea: Did you use it on a dark colored car? I wonder if that has anything to do with it. :nixweiss



Sherman: I don't know I've never used QD+. This product did seem to be on the thick side. It spread pretty easy, but removal wasn't the easiest.



MCA: From the description on the label, as well as the website this is suppose to be a stand alone LSP, not a booster spray wax.
 
i've never had streaking issues with it. also, I only use one towel, the stuff works in and "disappears" with just one for me. I much prefer this to optimum, and I like the look a lot better too.

I tried it and application was just fine. No streaking. Fragrance is a little strong for me, but nice. Gloss and slickness were better than average, but noting to rave over. It did not hold up to washing, so I can't see it being a wax replacement.

Yep, I would agree as well, definetly not a wax replacementm, but it has its place in my regimen for certain cars.
 
EO Nanowax spray streaked for me on my silver WRX (very fine smearing), I can only imagine it would have been more visible on a dark car. Since that kind of smearing is probably my #1 detailing pet peeve, my bottle is going into my "giveaway" bin.
