Please don't get offended!!! In 2 weeks I am going to use my PC and my new AG products to see how much nicer the detail looks using boutique products and a PC.

I had some Kit paste Carnuba wax on my shelf....had to be minimum 10-20 years old. It actually says on the bottle it's brazilian carnuba?? I wanted to use this as a barometer and compare it to the AG products I am going to use in a few weeks. Here's the link.......look at $3.00 Kit wax photo's, the other photo's were Meg. 4 step process toppped off with NXT paste wax. mikesworld

What do you think??? In 2-3 weeks I am going to use XMT swirl remover and then Wolfgang sealant and then top it off with some MAx Wax....a coat or two and we'll see the difference. Stay tuned!

I don't wax stays good for that long....
Oh, and they can label somethng as an ingredient even if it has just the smallest amount....

Lauren
Thank you for sharing with us!!!:righton:
I loved you reflection shot! So nice and clear.
You don't have orange peel like me vette, either.
 
Well to me it looks pretty darn good and theres no need to do a swirl removal on your vehicle. 10-20 year old wax haha still got the job done

i have had meguiar's wax go bad in a lot less time than that - that is what i don't get.:confused:
 
Thanks Lauren and EJ, I couldn't believe it came out so good. I did it all by hand too. I can't wait to get my PC. It took me about 4 hours!! I definitely got my neighbors attention........they all came over and started asking questions. LOL
 
i think having the meg's underneath was a help.
 
I did a Google search on Kit this is what they advertise:

Longest lasting shine and protection!
• Contains #1 grade Brazilian Carnauba Wax - the world's hardest natural wax - that shines up to 12 months.

They don't even sell it anymore.

they sell kit wax in ag and etc. yellow bottle - a liquid wax. they may have a paste form too - i don't know.

where did you get the idea they no longer make it? perhaps it is just the formulation you have?
 
I don't think so? I went into the AG store and didn't see it nor did I in any of the Retail stores that normally carry it. I also did a google search and NOTHING. They might have been bought by Turtle Wax.
 
Pick up at least some Duragloss AW and Poorboys Natty's Blue wax. Nattys Blue is cheap and I put it right up ther ewith my $$ waxes.

I actually have an old bottle of Kit in the garage, yellow bottle.
 
I have the same bottle, not but a year old, paid like $5 at Discount Auto... Pep Boys still sells em as well.
 
definitely a great job detailing..but honestly your results or not from the Kit wax..its from a well prepped surface...just about any wax looks good on a well prepped surface...even the most top end wax would not look good if you did not claybar and polish first...
 
The cheapest wax I ever purchased was on clearance at Autozone - just 99 cents. It's Rain X paste wax.
 
wax doesnt give it the shine its the polishing steps really .wax just gives it protection and added depth and wetness.
 
So....I'm starting to understand all this. I agree that the prep work is most important but answer me this........how much better honestly...will the paint look after I put the Max Wax on compared to this?? I guess in 3 weeks, I'll find out.
 
Prep work is 75% of the paint process. Easily. One can even take Meg's #80 and not even top it and it will look awesome. Really, I'm not suprised at your results. It looks awesome. I've used Meg's 5.99 Cleaner Wax and got amazing results.......

basicly everyone your going to talk to is going to have there own apinion on waxes .some like other ones better. there all pretty good. theres one detailer by me who says wax is only for protection and not for shine at all. and he says to believe the hype about waxes . but i disagree. hes only looking for a quick way to detail cars .so he just uses the cheapest wax he can get .20 bucks a gallion.
 
First off ... most carnauba comes from Brazil, as the tree's are plentiful. So many products tout Brazilian Carnauba. Lipsticks, shoepolish, even gum. They dont however show there color or range. So sure KIT might have Brazilian Carnauba in it, but it isnt Souverans #1 Ivory Carnauba which is a refined #1 Yellow.

i have a can of pure brazilian yellow carnuba wax. its not white though like souverans. is it a cheaper quility?
 
Dude....now that's nice!! Sweet ride too. When I see a detail job like that it makes me motivated to top it. Props to you!! But as my wife would agree it's the foreplay....I mean the prep work that makes it all good!!
