My neighbor just purchased this - Formula F-11 - I was shocked on the shine - he drove up on his old work truck and it was shinning so unbelievable that - when I asked what he did he showed me the Formula F-11 - I looked it up says last 3-6 months

anyone have any experience with this? does it last (does give a great shine) would like to compare to my C magic to see - may try 1/2 and 1/2 - but the F-11 cost a lot more

F-11 = $59 for a 16 oz bottle, small travel bottle, and a couple towels

For just $37, you get a GALLON of the wonderful Meguiar's Xpress Spray Wax, and it lasts longer than the F11 infomercial stuff.

Any time, brother. Other people have helped me many, many times here. They still do!

Seriously, pass on the F11 stuff. Does it work and add some gloss to paint? Sure. However, there are less expensive products available from larger companies, and they seem to do a better job. Remember, when one product works well for one person, that person instantly claims the product is the best thing ever. We are fortunate to have some pro detailers here at Corvetteforum, and I trust their recommendations. For example, I use a lot of detailing sprays. Different brands and different types. Some for general dust cleaning, and some for pre-car show gloss enhancement. I was previously using a specific detailing spray for adding gloss to my cars before a night out, before a car show, etc. But, because of some pro recommendations here, I purchased (and fell in love with) a whole new product. I have since replaced my prior brand!

I fell for it....used it once and tossed in the trash can. Hated it and it didn't do, in my opinion, what the guy selling the stuff in the video said it would do. I recently was turned on to Girot's Garage Spray On Best of Show wax by a professional detailer friend...now that product is incredible....you want to talk about gloss and hydrophobic properties......its got it. I'm already on my second bottle of it as I have 4 vehicles to keep looking great.

Agreed 100%. Griot's B.O.S. Spray Wax has replaced my Optimum Spray Wax as my after-wash product and drying aid. Just as glossy as the Optimum, but streak-free and seems to flash off faster.

Griots "Spray on Wax" is great to spritz on a wet car to cut the surface tension when you dry it off!
