lol, I can send you the sample if you want, just pay me postage.

 

I have a giant bottle myself, but thanks!

I live in Arizona, so in the summer it rides on top of Klasse AIO and SG and actually holds up in the 2 gajillion degree heat. NO other wax can say that. Only lasts a month or two tops, but with the SG underneath, I just slap a new coat of the 845 on monthly in the summer.

In the winter, it's Nattys' Blue on top of the SG.

 

Have you tried Victoria's wax?

 

Nope. What's the story with it?

If it's anything like her Secret, I like it already...

 

People on a detailing forum have said that if you put 3 coats of either Vic's Mayhem or Chaos on the car, it'll last 6 months before it wears off.

Mayhem/chaos are carnauba/sealant hybrid, and can be layered back to back with no cure time in between.

I put 3 coats of mayhem on my var followed by 3 coats of chaos, lol.

 

Durability only matters me to if I ALSO like the way it looks. 845 has best of both for me for summer in AZ (with proper prep, of course).

There is ALWAYS something new out there. I tend to be a bit old school and stick with what I know or what people have been using for a WHILE. I am only now contemplating using Blackfire! It came out like 5-6 YEARS ago...

 

I highly suggest you try some Vic's, you might change your mind on collinite, haha.

 

where u located again mike....could use a nice detail and support local forum members..

 

I'm in Long Beach

 

Where's my detail? For free.

 

MOAR STUFF?

 

I got 5L of the Autoglym CWC from Ken but have yet to open it lol. Winter doesn't want me to do anything. Still need moar brushes??

 

Of course, I can never have enough brushes, lol.
I heard AG CWC is high alkaline content, so I'll probably only use it on factory wheels, still gonna use P21s for aftermarket, it hasn't failed me yet.

 

You are an addict Mike

 

Yeah, I know. I have a major problem with buying detailing supplies. Especially when it's on sale, lol.

 

So glad I got over my addiction, I was buying 100's of dollars every paycheck last year

 

hey just curious whats the purpose of people putting the LSPs in a fridge ?

 

I also love my p21s, how would you say it compares to the autoglym and others, which is best ?

 

I looked at P21S but it seems quite expensive for the amount you get. In terms of a cost-effective alternative for cleaning wheels, I've been looking into Zep Citrus Degreaser. It's only around $10 from Home Depot. Have you tried out Zep? I know on DB someone did a bit of a comparison running zep, cwc, black magic?, and I think it was sonax full effect.

 

Its worth every penny, works amazing, and dont forget your only spreading a thin layer per coat, so that tub is actually quite a bit when you really take that into consideration.....

I am wanting to try the black fire, and the blacklight hybrid kit as posted by the OP after reading up on them...

 

It keeps my LSP at a constant temp. (I Keep mine at 55 degrees)

 

Look what I got today:

Very impressive collection. I have just begun building mine, but it really is addictive.

 

Green with Envy over here...

 

Nice collection! What's the best brand of microfiber that you would recommend from your experience?

Also, dibs on the Pinnacle Souveran if you're selling it.

 

Mike, "you've got a great rack" !!!!

 

Thanks guys!

Souveran's been gone lol

haha, I'm re-organizing "the rack" pretty soon

 

How are you finding the Iron-X? I've been thinking about getting some but I'm not sure how often I'll have to use it.

 

I almost never use it on paint since I don't do opti coat or cquartz often. But it does work well the few times I've used it.
I use it in place of a wheel cleaner, and it does a pretty good job at that.

Added to "The Rack"
2 dozens of MF towels + 4 waffle weaves thanks to my buddy/mentor Richard Lin @ Show Car Detailing.

Mike, in the lower right hand corner of each post, the middle icon is a multi-quote button. It allows you to answer more than one person in a single reply.

Give it a try-you'll really like it!

 

D'oh, I knew that
Well maybe........
Okay okay fine fine I don't use it often

Check the amp rating on the Green Machine ( 3 amp) .. there is a few different ones .. If I remember right that particular one is pretty week and not great for cars etc.

You should be looking for the ProHeat model which has a 9 amp rating ..

I just got around to check it, 3 amps. Off to Walmart I go tomorrow, lol

 

awesome collection and nicely organized!

 

Thanks!
And I just got more stuff in, lol.
