However, you will have to wait for me to ship it out until after the check clears (usually 3-5 days) -- for faster service though I will accept PayPal, US Postal Money Orders, Cashiers Checks, Cash, Gold Bullion or Wire Transfers (slight fee for the latter)

So is there any new progress?
Next batch was much better, the first was hard as a rock and useless. The second one I actually applied to the fender of my truck. It takes alot more oil than I first thought. Almost 50/50 wax to oil and solvent content.Because of the turpentine it smells like a pine forest, maybe I can call it "pine forest rub" jk. Anyways, it looks and feels and applies like a useable product. I have to state again, this is an information thread only.

The second one does look like it will spread easier.
Good luck and keep experimenting

Just a few of comments.
1. You are using at least 6 products that you have mentioned and probably more. The mixture combinations possible are so many that I don't have the math skills to even guess at them. I think somewhere in the neighborhood of 6 million might be close.
2. The big boys such as Meguiar's and Mothers have complete labs with lots of staff, equipment and money, yet it can take years before they come up with a usable product.
3. I think what you are doing will be interesting and fun for you, but don't be too discouraged if it turns out to be cheaper to buy Zymol Vintage after all is said and done.
4. It's kind of like your favorite process and products. If you like doing it, have at it. :bigups

I think it is interesting to see how the makeup of a wax changes as the inputs change or the amount of raw materials. So far I think I have spent in the neighbourhood of 50 dollars. I have no multimillion dollar budget or million dollar dreams. The point is to expand and continue on with a thread like home brewing.
I am kind of interested in this, I never thought about somebody making their own wax. Now I want to try it :drool:

Swirls?!?! NNOOOOOOO!!!!!
If you have a library with older books in it, you may be able to find some formulae from "back in the day" for car waxes (both paste and liquid). I have some, but man... do they sound harsh!!
