Following up from yesterdays Autobright post.
Today I managed to apply all the samples to different areas of my bonnet.

Autobright Polish & Wax Test

The Chemical Guys Jetseal 109 has been on my bonnet now for about for about 2 months now and is still looking very glossy and still has a lot of depth to it.
As you can see I separated my bonnet into four separate areas. I applied the Purple Haze High Gloss Hand Glaze with a microfibre towel, it was easy to apply to my bonnet but it did haze off quite quickly.

I then moved on to applying Very Cherry – Premium Carnauba Wax. I did find this slightly easier to get out of the bottle than the Purple Haze High Gloss, it also seems to have a better work time.

The EZ Carnauba was the best product to apply as it freely came out of the bottle on to my the microfibre cloth, and it worked very well and soon covered my test area with little product needed.

Ok so the buffing and removal of products since I applied the Purple Haze High Gloss Hand Glaze first I thought I’d remove it first, umm maybe a wipe on wipe off product I found it quite stubborn to remove.
Both Very Cherry and EZ Carnauba where very easy to buff off, you could almost just wipe the microfibre over the area and the product came off.

I applied all the products twice and tried a wipe on wipe off approach with Purple Haze High Gloss Hand Glaze but I still found it hard to buff off

Overall View
Very Cherry and EZ Carnauba had both left there test areas very smooth  and glass like to touch where as Purple Haze High Gloss Hand Glaze was still smooth but no where near Very Cherry and EZ Carnauba.
Only time will tell how well these products will stand up to the weather and aging.

UPDATE

Ok there was quite a bit of rain last night so I thought it was ideal to have a look at my Autobright test on my bonnet.
All the Autobright products have now been on for just short of a week. Whereas the Chemical Guys Jetseal 109 has been on now for about 2 months.

Beading wise there’s not a lot of difference between any of the 3 products from Autobright.  When I was stood at the side of the bonnet I could see that the area that had been treated with Very Cherry Wax was a slightly different shade of blue.
I would guess this is going to be down to it stripping the jetseal off and with it been a polish it has polished and cleansed the surface too.

Very Cherry Wax has very tight beading with no run off where as the Purple Haze had good beading but it was nowhere near as tight as Very Cherry Wax.
EZ Carnauba was pretty much if not a little better than Very Cherry Wax in the beading contest.
Jetseal is still holding its own 2 months on and beading tightly.
