My paint is not perfect and it never will be in my lifetime. I haven't waxed the tundra since march 09 when I put the pictures up on here with the wolfgang wax. I know that is sad. But I just didn't have time to.

Still have swirl marks all over the place. I'm pretty much broke right now but would love to drop $300 to purchase a porter cable and some type of swirl remover but that will never happen anytime soon.

A PC bundle including some pads isnt that much..... If you’re in the market for a dual action polisher, look no further than the Porter Cable 7424!

For $169 you'll have everything you need, thats a great deal.

Anyone recieved this wax yet?

I bought two tins and have yet to get anything in the mail (ordered when Brandon first posted)

I will contact seller when I get home. Poor service

Check your ebay transaction. He should post the USPS tracking number in there. Mine are in the mail too... and I am not sure when it will arrive... it indicated printed the label on 9/4 and sent as Priority Mail.. but I haven't receive them yet.

Check your ebay transaction to see if he has the tracking number for you.

PS: I bought 10 @ $5 each...

Good to see I'm not the only one. Mine "shipped" on 8-31, haven't seen them yet. I emailed the seller yesterday, and haven't heard anything back.

I just sent a message inquiring what the deal was...... and that there were quite a few people on a "site" who ordered...and have not received any product.

See what happens .......

I hope it's legit, I hate scumbags

Here is the reply I got:

Hi
Your items were shipped the next day from purchase and the Post Office
sent them back the next day because we shipped them first class and we had
to send them parcel post. All of the purchases have been shipped and as you
can see in my feedback many people have received thier items and all I can
do is check and see what is going on through the local post office here.
Every person who has emailed me has received a reply from me so if you can
ask the people who are waiting a reply to contact me I will reply.
Thanks

I received mine in the mail today after 11 days waiting..... it was delivered by Postal "Priority Mail". Here's a picture of what I got.... I am very disappointed, as I thought it was a hard carnuba. You can see from the pics, it is a purple mush with a consistency of peanut butter. It smells like crayons like it should, but it is REALLY soft. The ebay site said it was coming from Illinois, but it was delivered from Mississippi......

Hey Brandon, can you confirm if the stuff will still have strong kung-fu or if my $hit is weak.......

RIjon · #24 (**permalink**) 09-12-2009, 12:08 AM

Good grief

Ok guys settle down. She is having shipping problems because she has apparently sold somewhere close to 1000 tins. I got mine in about 3 days and they are all perfect.

08salsa- #16 is a hard wax, yours just separated.

Great deal on #16 on ebay... - Page 7 - Autopia.org

there is a post in there about steaming the tin of wax until you melt all of it, then letting it sit and re-solidify. Should be fine. Some of this wax can be over 10 years old, so it just needs to be "remixed"

08SalsaMax · #26 (**permalink**) 09-12-2009, 10:20 AM

Lots of work for a tin of wax...... Will try to reconstitute it, but I really wanted to use it today. I"ll have to try and do this chemistry experiment when the wife isn't looking, otherwise I'm in for a new pot......

Brandon1 · #27 (**permalink**) 09-12-2009, 12:33 PM

Well you dont *have* to do that, you can use it just like it is, it is just a little jello-y.

08SalsaMax · #28 (**permalink**) 09-12-2009, 10:56 PM

Well..... I used the #16 while it was in its Peanut Butter-like form this morning. Results were ........ don't try it boys and girls !!!! It's much harder to control the amount being applied and as I learned, when you goop it on, and let it dry, it's a bear getting off. It's definitely not for the faint of heart......

I use Klasse sealant before the #16, so my arm was already tired.....

I found one of those tin foil pans and used it on the stove top to cook the #16. It took about 10 minutes with some stirring involved and I didn't let the water get to a boil since the wax melts completely at a temp lower than boiling water..... I've been waiting all day for it to reconstitute and get hard, but after about 6 hours, it's firmer than peanut butter and much more like margarine now (soft to the touch, if you press a bit). It's not hard like milk chocolate like I thought it should be......

Talking about all this is making me hungry........

Brandon1 · #29 (**permalink**) 09-12-2009, 11:06 PM

That should yield you much better results. It took me about 10min to wax a CTS Caddy and it looked great!

Brandon or perhaps anyone else, 1st off

so long
Brandon, Beutiful work on you recent detail pics. I love the Lamborghini! For the last few month's I've been reading many of your posts and see that you use alot of different products however you seem to have some favorites and have taken up on some of your suggestions and value your opinions. Upon your recomendations, I have bought and used and Luv the duragloss 901 wash, Clay Magic bar, dg 652, Meguires SwirlX and the vroom line of mitts are very nice too. In my stock of other products that I have(much of what I bought prior to veiwing your posts) and used include Meguirs ColorX/Suprime Shine(Luv the pinnacolada like smell)/Ultimate Quick Wax/ Meg.NXT2, MF towels from Sams Club(used and havn't had any swirl marks from doing so), CLR metal polish, simple green, woolite(well,Targets brand of woolite)and early this year before I knew squat about proper detailing I picked up a Turtle Wax Care Care Kit that includes Zip Wax Car Wash/F21 SuperProtectant/Express Shine Spray Wax and the Rim Clean Foaming Wheel Cleaner(Hey I got all on clearance for $5 at Kmart). Perhaps I should just toss the TurtleWax junk out as I only used it a few times unless if you want it

Anyway, I've been at autogeek.Net and am looking to add to my stock and have a few questions as I can't keep throwing my $$ out the window and having all these products around however I want to keep me and my wifes car looking decent and I'm getting hooked on this whole datailing thing that some of my other chores are on standby

. I dont have a PC polisher yet but perhaps Santa will get me one till then it's all elbow gress for me but I'm not afraid of hard work. Ok back to what I'm eyeballing at autogeek, here is what I'm thinking and this weeks budget is alowing me to spend about $50/75 tops. Here is what I'm contiplating DG(TPP) # 105, DP Max Wax (2-4-1), Collinite Liquid Insulator Wax #845(This stuff looks like it performs awsome and it has a bonus towel), Klasse ALL-IN-ONE. What do you recommend from these products? Also I know I have the Meg. QiuckWax but I seen that you love Optimum Car Wax spray but maybe I get OCW when I'm out of the Meg. I also need some foam pads, autogeek has autogeek Foam Applicators 6 Pack(2-4-1) and even though I have some MF towels(so maybe I should pass), I see Cobra Shamrock 750 Microfiber Towel, 16 x 24 inches at (2-4-1). I see that they have 303 Aerospace Protectant 16 oz at (2-4-1) looks like a good deal there to but where this this come in for my detailing? I also see Pinnacle XMT Polishing Pad Cleaner(2-4-1) on autogeek however I just washed my entire towels/mitts/pads using the following method- Keep in mind that this would fall under a small load but I set the washer to a full load. Washed once with a 1/3-1/2 cup of Dawn Dish soap, 2nd wash with 1/4 cup of Woolite and 1/4cup of Dawn and a third wash with no detergent at all. Into the dryer on med heat with no fabric softner. Any thoughts on this or a better way? Well Brandon, I know I threw alot at you but your opinion is valued by me. I mean just look at your pics and good god! So, if you can give me some direction on where to take this, I would appreciate it. Like I said I have a small budget so I want to get the best bang or POP from my buck. Thanks for your time guys.
