I was wondering if anyone has heard of this stuff, a friend recently told me about it, I'm trying to track down some info on it. The product is supposedly called Formula 33, he's not sure if it's a wax, it appears to be a final detailing stage. Word is, this product is used by 'all' collectible corvette owners, as well as by owners of other collectible cars. I fogured that if anyone knew about this, it would be you guys. If not, I'll look for more info. I'm wondering if it's a local product, and hasn't made it out of the NY area. I kinda doubted his claims, I figure I would have heard about it here already. Thanks for any info.

I think your friend is talking about Formula 113 (or the "F word" depending on who you talk to)...
Do a quick search here for Formula 113 - lot's of info.

Sounds like Formula 133.:scared Mike P is not cool.
PS: Personally, I'm getting a can of S100, but, once my 3M Perfect-It Swirl Mark Remover runs out, I'll be looking for some other way to one-step prep the surface (unless I break down and start using clay, I'm trying to not go too crazy, however, the detailing bug seems to be catching, thanks a lot, guys). Thanks again (2000 Civic SI: black)
Actually, Formula113 is not a bad wax, but the owner of the company put off a lot of people here by the way he acted.
It's a decent cleaner wax with a nice shine, but it doesn't last very long. The Bead X quick detailer is actually very good and you can use it in the sun. Smells good too. I didn't like the clay bar. It works fine, but it is real plasticky and hard to mold.
For $25, you can get a container of S100 and the S100 paint cleanser and that $25 will wax your car a whole lot more times than a 16 oz bottle of Formula113 will.

American Shine has a great cleaner wax. I forget the exact name, but the site is www.americanshine.com . Easy on and off, nice shine and it smells like bubble gum!
I remember the unpleasantness a few years back with Mike P, but he is cool to me, in fact, he sent me some full size bottles of his stuff and I gotta say, I LOVE the stuff! Beadx RULES and the wax is really good too.
I think he has some trial size products you can buy on his website, not sure tho.

Made by Erazer (sp) I believe.

I never had a problem personally with Mike either, but apparently others did. I liked the wax also, it just doesn't last very long. American Shine's and Clearkote's Moosewax both have just as good a shine and last longer.
Definitely agree about Bead X.
