Nice enough wax, but it's still just a wax.
Doesn't really stand out compared to the others around the same price point.
In the same way many people use and like DJ Supernatural, you'll have the same response for RG55 and Zymöl/Swissvax/Valentine's/Migliore
So the bottom line is it's good, but nothing extraordinary, and stands with those mentioned above.

To be honest, i thought the same. I was given a sample pot for free so of course used it on my car.

My car did 150 miles (mostly dry) in the space of a day with '55 on. Car then got some snow on it, which sat for 1 day, then the car was parked underground for a week with NOTHING on it bar the small amount of dirt the snow would bring.

Clayed my car last week-no wax on it. None. NOTHING.

Wasn't too pleased to say the least. I've tried again with it, and it seems simply 'alright'. I'll stick with DJ B-Armour for the moment.

How were you detecting nothing on the paint?
Squeak test - dry finger on wet panel after rinsing?
Beading isn't the best way to conclude the protection has gone - that's just surface tension at work, which if you'd not rinsed the shampoo off fully or it's not a free-rinsing one, leaving behind "ehancements", or it didn't clean it fully, then you'd have low wide beads rather than tall tight ones which carnauba waxes characteristically give.

Smells nice.
Very nice to apply via applicator or hand.
Buffs off nice and easy.
Durability I find usually around 3 months max which is a little dissapointing for the price.
Suits solid dark colours.

Is it worth the price? Just IMO......
