... but I don't.
In fact, I think the stuff really sucks. I bought it hoping that it would be a cheaper (like, half the price) alternative to 106ff. Wow, was I wrong. The stuff looks, smells, and feels very similar to 106. It's a bit runnier, but I was thinking, "cool, better lubes!". Wrong!
I loooove 106ff. You can work the stuff a long, long, looooong time, and it still removes easily. Yeah, you do need to do an IPA wipedown afterwards to get rid of it's (unintentional) hiding abilitites, but other than that, it is simply *the very finest* polish I've ever used. So the 1Z did have some big shoes to fill. Like, clown sized, even.
But this stuff didn't even come close. Yeah, the long working time of the Menz had me spoiled, but when I was dry buffing after working the 1Z for only 3 (!!) passes, I was really disappointed. And the stuff is sooooooooooooo very difficult to remove when you're done polishing. Even when I did manage to not overwork it, it was very difficult to remove. Maybe it was just the car I was doing, but I'm telling ya, this stuff was haaaaard to remove. Forum member Greg Nichols will back me up on this. We were working a MB S500 today when I experimented with the 1Z. Did I mention how bad I hate this stuff? Yes, it did leave a very, very nice finish afterward. 106ff-class finish. But I still hate it. Paris Hilton has a longer working time than this stuff.
I dunno. I'm sure there's gonna be some of you guys that like this stuff, and that's great. I'm sure you and your 1Z will be happy together. I just hope it doesn't dry up on you unexpectedly.
Ah well... it's only a quart, right? I mean, how long can *that* last?
