I'm sure there are other similar products available, but I'll stick with this stuff. Oh, and plenty of the guys at the dyno day commented on my paint and finish, even after the rainy drive in.




Do as you wish, because I am! I know what my results are and I know how much time I had to invest to get this result. My time is important to me and I don't have as much as I'd like to spend doing what I want to do. If I can use something that costs a little more but saves me time to spend doing other things (with my family), then I'm all for it. My way is no better than any other way. It works for me, gives me the results I want and doesn't consume too much time.


Time is a major reason (besides great results) is what I love about Chadwick's, 20 minutes including wheels (and yes the barrels also) and I am done !!!!! Love to drive it a bit better than working on it !!!!!

Amen to that brother! I'm impressed with Chadwick's. I'm tempted to try the paint correction system but with the number of chips in my paint I think it would just make them stand out more!

Magnetic Red. I'm afraid of matching the metallic in it.

Until then all you've actually proven to us is that you're old, stuck in your ways, and have no respect for anyone who you perceive to be younger than you. You're flat out wrong that turtle wax makes products as good as zaino or other premium brands. You may like the way your car looks, but that doesn't mean it's actually better as anyone else's.

I never stated mine were BETTER than anyone's, just that the finishes are as good as anything being used by other members.

What I would say is, If the shoe fits, wear it.

Oh, one more outstanding vehicle that rivals ALL vehicles on this forum for looks is the red one owned by dewoof01.
Definitely a twin to Bill's(evil twin) Vette.

I usually call them as I see them, and most showing pics of their Vette on this forum come no where near looking bright and shiny like those two, or for that matter, my two.
Don't believe me?
Thumb through some of the threads where pics are present, and you will see what I'M talking about.

There's a reason the pros don't use Turtle Wax...

I am now fully convinced that the only way you could be more full of yourself is if you bent over and crawled up your own ***! You have a good start with just your head. LOL

I would have expected a more mature response from a corvette owner.
What are you, about 16 years old?
If you don't like the fact that I happen to be right on this issue, perhaps it would be a good idea to put me on your ignore list, and that goes for anyone else of the same opinion.

Bob.

Now kids,...I'm going to have to put you all in time out if you can't work and play nice with each other. Remember, it's wax on and wax off we're talking about here. We all think too much of these damn fiberglass overpriced, overrated, pains in the *** we love so much but no reason to get all pissy about them. You all need to take a break, go out into your super clean black and white tiled, over lighted, beer fridge equipped, climate controlled garages and take your high tech micro-fiber polish cloths and give your old girl a good rub down. While you're at it, enjoy a imported beer on me.

I went ceramic and never looked back, it's been a year and nothing sticks to the surface. Just filtered water at the coin op weekly and wipe down the wheels and exhaust, finished. I never have to touch the paint surface.
