I just ordered Vintage

Picus, nice Pictures congrats! :)

I am not sure if it is a refill or a new jar? congrats on both cases :D



One quick question,

Does vintage feel any harsh when you put it on ur hands like Swissvax COncorso for example? Concorso seems to have some sort of sand paper or tiny stones to help

the wax melt in ur hands,

I am asking because if vintage does not then I see no reason why it can't be

applied by PC with White pad on a slow speed if it is hard to spread around, if not

then a black CCS or Blue finishing would do.



let the discussions begins :)
 
Vintage is a soft but slightly grainy type of feel when you first touch it. It is very soft, but as I've said b4, if you put any of the EG's on too hastily w/o allowing it to melt to a spreadable consistency, it has the potential to produce streaks, or in a very neglectful case, marring.



The wax, however, once handled right is totally non-abrasive, and it is also very transparent. You will see any and all of your mistakes once you get your finish rendered, as well as bringing out hidden hues, metallic flake and glass-like clarity.
 
I just read through all 51 pages...



wow it sucks everything went bad with OCD but good its going good now.

Maybe you could get one jar of Vintage for each night of Hannukah. :clap:

Hmmm, not encouraging when I consider using it on 20-some year old paint that can't be properly corrected :think:

You should really work on your prep skills before you bother with expensive waxes.



I have seen you details before and while not bad you really need to learn more about machine polishing before you bother spending a lot of money on wax.



All of the vintage owners I can think of would agree, using it on a surface that is not prepped to perfection is a waste.

Except for lbls1 who wants me to use it on the previously referred-to vehicles ;)



Heh heh, couldn't resist :p





But seriously.. yeah, unless somebody is getting a finish as close to flawless as the paint can stand (and that's under demanding lighting, not fluorescents and probably not under just halogens either) then it'd be a complete waste of money. And I can't help but wonder about using it on customers; vehicles- will they pay for a difference that they almost certainly won't appreciate? (Yeah, an expert, looking at paint they're familiar with, would appreciate the difference, but those folks are few and far between.)

The ones that will appreciate the difference will pay for it. You're right, there aren't many of them.

On the other hand there are a lot of people out there who will pay the price just because it's "the best" regardless of whether they can tell themselves or not.
