No but I do strip the old wax first with a Turtle brand product. I plan on doing a clay bar treatment next time as well. The clay bars help a great deal but I don't drive it much so it's something I will do every other summer.

It does take longer with the all natural products no doubt. Total strip clean and wax took about 4 hours. Using clay bars helps smooth the surface. Setting the little tubs of wax in the sun for a little. It helps soften it up some.

i had it..i also have Wolfgang Fuzion, BlackFire Midnight Sun
Souveran was a nice wax..went on butter smooth and came of just as easy..a little went a very long way. Now its basically just a show wax. you will get maybe 3weeks of protection from it before it wears off. I personally like midnight sun better but lately I only use Black Fire Wet Diamond and Black Fire Crystal seal over it. Are you looking for durability or just looks?

Nu Finish. Not that great of a show wax but for durability it is great. It advertises once a year but it is really 4-6 months. Just don't get it on any plastics, if you do wipe off immediately with a wet cloth or you will have white spots.

Mequiar's NXT 2.0 here. I put it on by hand and polish it off by hand. I put a very small amount on. I mean very small. When I apply it, I almost polish it to buffed. Then I final buff it. Really, really shines well.

I used Meguiars Gold Class liquid wax for years on all my cars, but recently I tried Turtle Wax ICE.
I won't go back to using the Meguiars wax. I still use their detail spray, wash and wax, and tire care products, but the Turtle wax rocks.
