Definitely not.

Firstly it immediately becomes more shiny and secondly it leaves the residue of a normal wax anyway :)

I would try the colour enhanced stuff every few months to save it from going pink - the difference in colour when I first used it was fukcing amazing :cool:
its just that when i used to own this

and im not proud of it i used to use a white wax and could not see where i've been thats why i was asking mate
That's probably due to wax residue being white :wink: :lol:
