Power Maxed Typhoon Carnauba Wax Review

What We Say

What is it?

A new detailing wax from the team at Power Maxed with a lemon sorbet scent. With claimed durability in the region of 3 to 4 months and hydrophobic water beading and sheeting technology due to its T1 Carnauba wax content.

How we tested it?

We were sent a pot of Typhoon from Power Maxed with a set of products for review. It has been applied both to our own vehicle to observe durability and a range of vehicles both as standalone protection and to top sealants for the final finish. We observed the ease of application, visual results, beading qualities and durability of the product.

We Liked:

• We can't help but mention the smell first. It's incredible, your entire workshopgarage will smell of it after use and you will be glad it does.
• Goes on really easily. A tiny amount of wax will go a very long way. We have waxed 10-15 vehicles with Typhoon and aren't even half way down the tub.
• Lovely depth to colour. Really seems to magnify and enhance gloss.
• Great beading qualities that last for weeks. Our test car has had the wax on for nearly two months now and still beads strongly.

We didn't Like:

• We found occasionally the product would need to be followed with a quick detailer as was slightly smeary on removal.
• Whilst not hugely expensive. At £35 and whilst not awful, we don't feel the packaging quite reflects the price, but then it's what inside that's important!

Overall:

The first wax that we have trialed from Power Maxed and a very impressive one it is too. We have a shelf full of waxes in the workshop from budget to premium brands and we found ourselves still reaching for the Typhoon every time. The smell makes it an absolute joy to use and rewards you with great results. We feel it will take time for people to discover this wax as it sits in the price point between budget and premium which is a competitive market but be brave, pop your more established wax manufacturers to one side and you will be very pleasantly surprised.
