Has anyone tried the new Teflon wax from Dupont or the NanoWax from Eagle One?

I use eagle one nano wax. I like it a lot. It doenst leave that white residue and its got "micro beads" or something like that, to fill the scratches in better. Here is a shot after the nano wax.

Don't waste your time with that teflon crap. I bought a bottle, if you want, its only used once!!!! Itll cost delivery fees plus I'll give you a dollar!!!! Its not worth it if you ask me. I prefer the Meguiars Gold class. Or just good old fashioned pure carnuba!!!!

I haven't used the Eagle one wax, but the Meguairs Cleaner wax is just that. If you haven't used it before what it does is have a small amount of abrasive in it to get out dirt that you can't normally see that dulls your paint. It works really well but its not something that you want to use all the time, more like a couple times a year. If the Nano wax is anything like the NXT stuff then use it right after the clweaner wax and it should make your car gleam like a gem. If you haven't really waxed your car very well before I reccomend the Meguairs three step system. It makes your paint REALLY nice IMO! But everyone has different taste, some like really glossy, others like rich and deep. If you like really shiny and glossy go with a synthetic wax, if you like rich and deep go with carnuba, if you want to find a good combination of the both get a few different bottles and start mixing til your arms fall off!!!

:|UPDATE|:

i used both waxes this weekend and loved how Megs C/W worked, its awsome. I tried the nano wax in the bottle and i am not really impressed with what it did, it put a weird shine on the car, it kinda looked like a wet shine. next time i will try the nano was in the pump, i am thinkin that will work better, or i may just try the NXT.
