Anyone tried Eagleone Nano Wax?

I saw this in a Super Street mag and wondering if anyone has ever tried it. Nano Wax. If anyone has used it was one bottle enought the whole car? This caught my eye cause it said it removes swirl marks and little scratchs. Any comments on it? Thanks.

I was wondering the same thing. That was back in June, the product was probably just out so they found rebates to get it?

Bingo. Cost was $15.99 and the rebate was for $15.99. So I paid the sales tax and the cost of a stamp to send off the rebate.

i personally was more impressed with this wax than nxt. but it is a lot hard to remove. u could let nxt dry overnight and have no problems. nano wax definatly needs to be done a section at a time. but its and incredible polisher.

It's not a polish. Polishes are abrasive. Nanowax is only a filler. A true polish would actually diminish or remove the swirl, not just fill it it and make it look gone. As the wax ages, the swirls would reappear. You're better off applying a TRUE polish, then using a wax or sealant of your choice. Then even as the wax or sealant ages, the swirls won't come back.
Notice the product description says it will fill fine scratches and conceal swirl marks. And most likely it would only do well on fine swirls.

I have looked for a polish at my local wal-mart but couldn't find any I liked. What would you suggest?

I'd suggest not going to Wal-Mart for a start! Check out a local auto-supply place, or there are tons of places online that have quality products available for mail-order.

I agree completely. Go to a detailing supply site online like www.autogeek.net, www.properautocare.com, etc... and find a polish that you like. I personally like P21S Gloss Enhancing Polish as a final polish before I apply EX-P, but it won't do much for swirls. For swirls you need a more abrasive polish, and I'll also point out that removing swirls by hand involves a lot of elbow grease. I tried to remove some swirls on my trunklid and spoiler a few days ago by hand, and my arms were ready to fall off when I finished...and the swirls aren't even completely gone. I ordered an orbital polisher the next day. I highly recommend a PC for swirl/scratch removal. Don't even waste your time trying to do it by hand. I ordered mine (PC 7424) from www.coastaltool.com.

well what i ment was that it will deepen and darken the color of the paint once applied. so if i labeled it wrong sue me sry. but i suggest using it. if u have back swirl mark this will FILL them pretty well but the will come back.

I just signed up for a free sample on cardomain (thinking it was a little 2 oz sample bottle) and got the huge $15 bottle and a microfiber cloth

Picked this up from Pep Boys a few days ago. It's $10 and after you checkout, ask for a rebate form and it has the $10 Nano Wax rebate on there (http://www.web-rebates.com/pepboys/)
