R222 Carnauba Car Wax
P21S products by Smartparts have been re-branded as R222 within Europe
This is probably the best wax out there that is way beyond its price bracket in terms of quality, shine and lasting performance. Premium quality carnauba paste that does not contain or need for that matter any ‘fruity’/’nice smelling’ additives to give that superior shine. Once you have use R222 Concours-look Carnauba wax you will probably never try any other wax again. and that’s a promise.
One of the most astounding features of this wax is the ease of use and speed of application. You simple rub the supplied sponge applicator onto the hard wax and immediately the surface becomes an almost paste like substance. You then apply it to the car in a series of straight line strokes that is applied to the car almost like a extremely thin layer of grease. The magic part however is that there is no waiting time required - as soon as you have completed a panel simply buff off with your favourite microfibre towel. No waiting or hazing time required!
R222 Car wax was voted No #1 under the ’Premium Wax’ category that far outshone (no pun intended) the competition that included waxes that were many times the cost of R222 Wax Carnauba Paste. This survey and the final judges decision were performed by the USA’s Guru Report - this is the premier detailing magazine that is recognised across the globe.

Our Thoughts:
"This is probably one of, if not the best waxes available for the way it looks on application there is no question.

It comes in our opinion one of the the best designed jar with applicator and instructions. It's extremely easy to apply and remove and a little goes a long way as it is a traditional hard paste wax. We can see why it won #1 in the catagory above some very expensive waxes in the premium waxes category of the wax test. On application the paint immediately looks deeper, glossier and 'wetter'. All these positives come with a downside though and with this wax is it's durability. One application will not in the UK climate last much more than a month. Thats fine if you are an enthusiast but may not suit everyone. To improve durability we have found prepping the car with Carlack Systematic Care gave a great base. Adding durability whilst cleaning and prepping the surface.
In summary definately one of the best looking and easiest to apply waxes. If you don't mind reapplying fairly often you'll be hard pushed to find a better looking wax."

Each jar contains 175g of R222 Carnauba Paste Wax

I find this wax to be superb. It is very easy to apply, just rub on using the provided sponge, buff off, and you are left with a glossy, waxy finish. There are no drying marks / powder left on the car, nor any white marks on trim / plastics. The wax lasts for a good few washes, up to about 2-3 months before needing to be applied again. One tub will easily last a full year. I strongly suggest you buy some!!

here Very easy to use as it doesn't set hard and chalk, gives one of the best wet look shines possible. And for just over £30 a pot its a fantastic product, that will give your car a show shine, time and time again.

i have had many types of waxes over the years. And thought i would try R222 and hope that all the fuss about it, i wouldn't be wasting my money. But oh my..... This wax is honestly in a league of its own. Best around for the money. by a mile.

perfect if you want to make your car look like a mirror. Very easy on and off, even after 30mins it will buff off very easily by hand and gives a brilliant shine. Sadly does not bead (rain) or resist dust. Nevertheless, it is a brilliant wax, I will buy it again and again. Is it worth the money, I would say Yes!!

R222 is really great to work with, it spreads well and provided you don't let it set it comes off easily too. The finish is better than you could expect at this price, it punches way above its weight, I'd go as far as saying if I'd paid twice as much I'd still be happy with R222's performance (cyc, don't take this as permision to up the price!). It brought back to life my 10 year old A3, glossy in the dry and rain just drops off it. Get it, apply it, be happy.

I bought R222 as I wanted to try show type wax for a bit of a change. I'm really pleased with it. It spreads and buffs off easier than anything I've used before and a little really dose go a long way, one and a bit swipes of the jar did the roof of my E-class. It's left the paint looking extremely wet and glossy too. Even on the bonnet which had been clayed but is in need of some serious correction. I think some of the comments on forums about poor durability might be slightly exaggerated. It's been on the car about 3weeks (in December/January) and it's still beading up like it was freshly applied. A great wax! it's certainly earned a permanent place in my cleaning kit.

Very easy to apply and buff with no white residue like Autoglym. Shine is quieter, satin rather than the sparkly glossy finish some products have. If you want a subtle and deep finish this will do the trick.
