remember that wax i recommended?

check out waht it did to my brothers BMW. He bought this car and lived in arizona for about 2 years. for a time he was so busy with life (working and going to school full time) that he had no time to clean his car. Dirt literally was baked into his paint. we washed it and washed it, couldnt get the dirt out. it always had this brown faded color look to it.

then i cleaned it with Premium EZ Wax http://www.premiumezwax.com

check out the difference. all i did was spray this stuff on, rub it in, whipe it off. it literally takes 20 seconds and check out the difference!

That's pretty damn good, however I think a carnuba wax cleaner would get the same results. I had crazy oxidation on my hood when I got the Runner, and that Maguires carnuba wax cleaner did a good job. The wax itself though left much to be desired. It was a pretty hard wax, so it shoulda lasted a while, but after 2 months in Mammoth, I came back the oxidation was there again. Although it was much easier to get off this time.

so how long?

how long does the wax coating LAST? will it be as "durable" as say 3-4 coats of regular wax?
Or, will it wear off after a few 95+ degree days then rain, then dirt....etc
what sayeth you?

I does sound intresting!

wow

that *does* sound good. Do they sell it in smaller qty's???

$100 worth of wash/wax supplies would set me back quite a bit in the o'le "fun budget"

That's what I used this last time and it is 1000 times better than the gulf states stock crap that came with my 4runner and my wifes old taco. they gave us another bottle last week when we took delivery on her new 2003 4runner and that crap hit the trash can the minute we pulled into the garage.
