Golden Glanz

Here's a couple shots of 1z Glanz on a Gold Honda Accord. The pics were taken outdoors on an overcast morning. Although I was sure I did a thorough job of wiping off the wax, the car had bad streaks the next morning. I could see every stroke I made with the wax applicator. Fortunately, it cleaned up easily with a damp towel.

looks great, really deep and wet. Especially for such a light color.

Looks good, but unless the dealer is paying you for advertising, get rid of the dealer sticker on the trunk.
 
Hehe.....the lady actually wants the dealer sticker. It's an interesting thing, that sticker. It's high quality stuff.....reminds me of pinstriping. It's REALLY on there good too. I would be very upset if I bought a car with a "permanent" sticker like that.

I've actually declined taking ownership of a new car over it. Despite telling the sales-turd, the service manager and the prep monkey, they still put that thing on my car. I wouldn't sign the papers and demanded a different car. Sure it would have come off without fuss---nearly 100% sure of that, but why chance it when I asked/told three people NOT to put it on there? Grrrr!
 
It would take more know-how than I have to get that sticker off "without fuss". It would be like removing pinstriping.

I think the trick to preventing streaks with Glanz is to work quickly. Cover a panel quickly with wax, then begin removal almost immediately. When streaks occur, it doesn't take long to remove them; but you have to wait for the streaking to appear. I'm not sure how long this takes; but it doesn't happen immediately, probably several hours.

Dealer stickers are evil. In my experience no matter how many times I told them not to put one on there prior to delivery, they always do.
 
Good work on the car. Whenever I buy a new car, I tell the dealer if there's a sticker or even a plate frame on the car with the dealership name on it then he'll have to find me a new car because I won't take that one. I do it everytime and I've never had one sticker put on my car or even a plate frame. Of course, I always offer first if they want to take $10,000 of the price then I'll gladly advertise for them. :)
 
The car I bought last year has a gouge where the corner of the dealer plate frame dug into the paint. The car really doesn't have room for a frame around the license due to curved surfaces. I can't believe they do that stuff to new cars.



Scottwax,



I've had Glanz streak on me twice now (out of about a dozen uses), once in hot weather and once in the cold. Perhaps I laid it on too thick, or left it on too long. I haven't figured out what causes it yet.

:nixweiss I've never had it streak. It is a true wipe on and off product.

It may have been because I've used it once when they sent me a sample of it and I had NO idea how to use it since it was so watery. I basically just poured some into the middle of my pad and smeared it around before I turned on the PC. I tried to WO/WO but it didn't seem to come off without leaving a residue.. there was a sort of sweet spot where it was halfway dried.

Lack of directions can make it difficult. Put it in a small 4 oz spray bottle and lightly mist the applicator with GW for easier application. :)
 
Geez . . . I must be lucky, because Glanz has never streaked on me either. Not even on a black car in mid-August with 100% humidity.

Lots. Seriously. 3-5 months with a single application. I tend to use it on light metallics, pretty hard to beat on them.
