Badass....best I have ever used

You just got to try it!

I aint trying to sell it to you, but everyone should give it a shot. Definately the best wax I have ever used! The only thing I dont like about it, it is slightly more difficulty to buff off but it is definately worth the little extra effort!!!

Might know the next day after I wax my truck we get some tropical rain....I gues this will be a good test to whether or not the "No dirt will stick" claim is true. Texas rain is full of dirt.

I must say though, my truck is almost completely dry except for the hood and roof while every other car on the street is all wet.

When I lived in gun barrel for a few months, I would wake up every morning to a green encrusted truck from the oak tree pollen.

I dont know whats up with north texas and this nasty dirt filled rain. EVERYTHING is covered in dirt after it rains up here.

It's not just limited to North Texas, as JROD knows. I could barely get back from spending hours at the car wash waxing and whatnot, and there would be CRAP all over it. And it always seems to rain just after I wash the beast...

And have you ever used Mothers Carnuba JJ? That **** is a PITA to buff out, I'd hate to see something harder. (But I know in the end the reward is worth it :cool: )

Just went outside and checked out my hood to see if there was any dirty spots on it. There was a little but I wiped them off with a towel very easily.

It seems we have a winner in my book, I might just have to slap another coat on today if the weather gets a little better.

nope, never used the mothers carnuba. I know all carnuba's are a pain sometimes but this stuff was a little harder. I swear though this stuff is, hands down, the best wax I have ever used. The turtle wax platinum carnuba wax comes in second.

nice. I'll have to look into it. Probably wait until I get my paint redone... then keep it protected right from the start.

Wal-mart. $7 for the bottle

I also picked up some fairly good quality micro fiber towels for $8 while I was there. They arent the ****ty cheapy ones.

We have had turtle wax forever here at our home since we moved. The owners left some car stuff and a .22 rifle which is pretty damn good gun. I had spray painted the rusted part of my fenders. It was glossier. I decided to get the wax and buff it with my shop towels in a small area on the fender next to the paint that i sprayed thursday. It blended in with the original paint. Im buying a buffer tomorrow and buying car care supplies. Its gonna look nice tomorrow. If it rains I will do it in the garage. Im excited. I will spray paint the scratched areas.

if you use a liquid spray wax after the hand/buff wax, many of them have anti-static in them which is what actually causes the pollen (although it is sticky and might stick anyway) and dirt to actually stick to the truck like a magnet. I kid you not. try it and you'll see that the stuff will blow off literally, after you use liquid anti static wax after the real wax.
