Default New polish/wax

I am, needless to say, pretty **** about my cars' appearance. I love to have all of my cars clean. So I went to the State fair on Sat and ran across this demo for the "Lazy man's wax." It had a good enough title for me. I'll give most anything a try (except for lemon pledge furniture polish) on my wife's lease car before it makes way to mine.

Anyways, her car is a good test mule since she drives it everyday and the durability can be tried as well. This guy claimed that it would last for 6 months. We'll see about that.

The name of the wax is Perma Seal (some may have heard of it, but I haven't). It was easy to use and was easy on/off. I'll see how it works out and will give anyone interested updates.

Here is a shot of the side of the car:



***UGH....I need a new camera!

They've tried and discussed many different products in the Car Care Products section of the Forum.

I'll let you know how my tests go. I guess I'll run this in the detail section as well to see what those gurus have to say.

Lookin pretty shiney there Scottie! What's that big red blobby thing on the side of the door!


Keep us posted six months from now! Of course, the state fair will be long gone by then, so it could be hard to track him down!

I'll let you guys know how it goes. I may go home and dump a bucket of water on the thing to see how it likes that!

LOL....dude, you change screen names more than anyone!

I have an order card for when I run out, so no need to hassle with the State fair.

Ok, so I got a wild hair up my *** and decided to polish my truck. Let me tell you, that will be the last wild hair for a very long time!

The MRS hasn't been feeling to well, so her car has been in the garage most of the week. So, I thought that the truck would be a better mule.

Here are some pics:

I hope you can tell from this pic, but I was trying to get some of the swirls in sunlight. This wax probably took about 50-60% of the swirls out.
