This is quite a high price for an all-rounder wax, certainly compared to the offerings from other brands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is also quite hard to estimate how much wax is needed to coat an entire car, however I estimate that I would need about 8 g to apply a single coat to a medium car. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Based on that assumption, about 18 cars could be waxed, at a cost of around \u00a32.50 ($2.70) per car. While this does not sound like a huge expense, it is expensive compared to other waxes on the market.&nbsp; A wax that I consider to be a higher quality than Essence costs only \u00a335 ($37.83 USD) per car to use.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_4d505a-40, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_4d505a-40[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_4d505a-40\"]{margin-bottom:20px;font-style:normal;color:#0a1931;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_4d505a-40 mark, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_4d505a-40[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_4d505a-40\"] mark{font-style:normal;color:#ffc947;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<h3 class=\"kt-adv-heading_4d505a-40 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_4d505a-40\"><strong>Product Presentation (9.0\/10)&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The wax is poured into a metal case with a screw-on lid, protecting the wax from external moisture.
