Ethos Ceramic Speed Wax is an absolute pleasure to apply, earning a perfect 10 for ease of use, making it ideal for beginners or anyone wanting a quick, low-effort detail. Slickness is strong at 7.5/10, but hydrophobicity is a notable weak point at just 2.5/10, meaning water beading performance lags well behind competitors.
The gloss meter recorded a loss of 6.3 GU, reducing surface reflectivity which is definitely sub-par. Durability sits at a moderate 6/10 making it through 100 washes, which is great for a spray. Best suited for enthusiasts prioritizing a fast, smooth application over water behavior.
