    Got me a lovely new old-fashioned wax

    Beauty Shine Carnauba "Blue" 418 (let`s call it BS 418). With a tub like this, no wax collector can resist. According to the labels, it`s a newer version of the same wax that has been popular for decades. They also make the (perhaps more famous) pink wax whose claim to fame was the start...

    Recommend me a Beauty Wax, $50 range

    I`m looking for something different to try. What`s your favorite beauty wax for $50-ish or less? $50, because, that`s the point at which I think things start to drop off as far as bang for buck. $50 with sales or coupons is OK.

    Not Brazillian Carnauba.. Floridian!

    Brazil is the only exporting country harvesting carnauba. However, did you know the palms that produce carnauba can also grow in Florida? Zymol is doing it! I heard that Zymol also makes wax from banana trees, and this article seems to substantiate that somewhat. Any more info? This make me want...

    Rocket Wax

    Anyone heard of this brand or used it? They have a liquid wax and a few sprays and lotions. Someone did a review of their soap on here last year. Looks to be another Adams or CG. I don`t want to seem dismissive - it could be the best stuff on earth, I don`t know. But, the QD looks like Speed...

    Long Term Wax Test. Collinite, Lusso, Griots, DoDo

    The good people here on Autopia helped me choose some waxes for a test. My beater car was in bad need of a polish, so I did, and thus had a nice slab to run some tests. HERE`s THE WAXES WE CHOSE: OK, to be fair, the forum members picked three waxes, and I added the forth - the Pro DoDo...

    Black Hole with Carnauba

    OK.. before you get excited (Ron), this is a home-brew project. I know from experience that this isn`t a big home-brew crowd, but I`d like to share my latest creation with those interested. So when I`ve made car waxes in the past, the solvent has always given me fits. I get worked op thinking...

    Sprayco Plant Sprayer Review (for pre-soak application)

    Hi all. A few months ago, I found this plant sprayer at Home Depot for $9. I like to pre-spray cars with ONR (or similar) as a pre-soak, and this sprayer makes it easy. I`m very happy with it, especially considering the price. It has a adjustable BRASS nozzle! A nice touch for the money...

    The DI Daily Special has jumped the shark too many times

    Razor blades, Isopropyl alcohol, razor blade holders... I must admit they "got" me once or twice... IronX maybe, or a towel, but it`s so mundane that I`m losing interest.

    Poorboy`s Mega Plush towels are real sleepers!

    DMT`s get all the attention in PB microfiber, but I`ll tell you, my Mega Plush towels are holding up great after 3 years and I think they`re better than DMT`s at LSP removal. They`re built differently than any other towel in my collection. The loops are rather large. They also come clean with...

    Thanks vs. Likes

    How can you be thankful for something and not like it? Or like something and not be thankful? What`s the purpose in having the two buttons? Which one gives the OP more atta-boys?

    Vanishing Point

    Did anyone see this movie back in the day? I was taken to the theater by a friend`s mom and we had a hoot. I guess I was 7 or 8. Anyway the movie features a white Dodge Challenger. I was infatuated with that look of car the rest of my life. By the time I was old enough to buy cars, my taste had...

    Sleepers

    Post your Sleeper products, and why you like it. I consider a Sleeper something that is currently off the chat list. Maybe something older, or perhaps just in the shadow of a newer rival. Here`s two: FK 303 Foam Pad Glaze. A great light polish with light filling. I think its name doesn`t do...
