We'll report that as their claim, because their own site quotes the run of wins inconsistently in two places and we'd rather not repeat a number we can't pin down.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe durability claim you can actually hold them to\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost wax brands quote durability in months, which is meaningless — it depends entirely on how often the car is washed and with what. Bilt Hamber do something better. They state Double Speed-Wax \u003cstrong\u003ecan be washed around 60 times with Auto-Foam and still resist removal.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSit with that for a second. Auto-Foam is \u003cstrong\u003epH 13\u003c\/strong\u003e. Sixty exposures to a pH 13 alkaline pre-wash, and the film is still there. That is a \u003cem\u003ewash-count\u003c\/em\u003e claim tied to a specific, aggressive chemical — far more useful and far more falsifiable than \"lasts 6 months.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe chemistry\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA \u003cstrong\u003emedium-hard film\u003c\/strong\u003e built on \u003cstrong\u003eT1 carnauba\u003c\/strong\u003e — the top Brazilian grade, palest colour, maximum 0.2% ash, 83°C minimum melting point. Bilt Hamber attribute the occasional blooming this wax can show in humid conditions directly to the T1 carnauba content, which is a slightly self-incriminating admission and exactly the kind that tells you the carnauba is really in there.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFinis-Wax or Double Speed-Wax?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinis-Wax\u003c\/strong\u003e is the harder film with no plasticising oils — the purist's choice, and the one with the longevity guarantee. \u003cstrong\u003eDouble Speed-Wax\u003c\/strong\u003e is medium-hard, easier to work with, and it's the one that keeps beating everything else in independent magazine testing.
