Gives great gloss and protection. I've had it endure most of a Michigan winter one year. The thinner you apply it, the better it works. It will darken the paint, so it's especially effective on darker colors.
Gold Class is a carnauba-based wax. Basically, it's going to sacrifice durability for a deep gloss. This, vice the "candy-coating" look that some people believe that synthetic waxes (like Meg's Ultimate line- although Ultimate Quik Detailer has some carnauba mixed in) leave behind.
This is especially important when dealing with light vs. dark vehicles. Typically, you'd want a wax with a higher carnauba content for darker vehicles. But, it all comes down to preference!

Agreed it all comes down to personal preference between the use of a carnauba based wax vs. a synthetic based wax. In general, many users find carnauba based waxes tend to leave slightly more wet look appearance on darker colors, but correct, they are not as durable as full synthetic protectants like our Ultimate Wax. It is also important to remember proper preparation of the paint is crucial if trying to get the best results.
Also just wanted to clarify Ultimate Quik Detailer does not contain any carnauba, it contains hydrophobic polymers for added water beading.
