Tulo Posted August 9, 2004 Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 I saw this wax at the state fair the other day. It looked pretty cool but something didn't seem quite right. Has anyone ever heard of/used it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractor Posted August 9, 2004 Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 Heard of it about 15 to 17 years ago. My dad bought some off of an infomercial. Too young to remember if it was any good or not. Evan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlowZ06 Posted August 9, 2004 Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 I have some, and have used it, but not on the vette. It works pretty well, but it frightens me because instead of mild abrasive usually used in cleaner waxes, it contains solvents to remove contaminants.

Stallion Motorsports1647545491 Posted August 9, 2004 Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 I had some, a couple of years ago. Didn't get the chance to use it, it seperated after winter, and I didn't trust it, never really looked right. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desperado Posted August 9, 2004 Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 It's not a wax, it does two things, for one it DOES have solvents in it, for two reasons, one is it is a cleaner, it does as any solvent will do, break down grime and lift it, along with either the paint of clear coat. The second thing it is, a polymer sealer. Which is part of the reason for the solvents, they keep the polymer in a liquid form, and as they flash off the polymer hardens. This is why the shit will take up spray paint. It will fill fine scratches in the clearcoat, and give a very good shine, for awhile. But it can't do what a wax does, and that is to remove the scratches. If you were to look at the hood before he started with it, it's been compounded, clayed, buffed and polished to hell and back. NO car, from the manufacture gets the treatment that hood does. And if you don't have a base like that to start with, the stuff don't work, or at least not nearly as well. I will say that for car shows, on a well preped and maintained finish, the stuff will bring it to a mirror finish. But anything less, ain't worth it. And the finish does not stay as well as claimed either. So again, use it, drive it to the show, and touch it up. The next week, you will be doing it again.

Tulo Posted August 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 They claimed that one application will last six months compared to the two weeks of wax . I knew something smelled fishy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
