Son1c 's Home Brew Carnauba Wax - ProtoWax -> Picture Heavy

I would expect to pay as well. No problem with that. I would think he is a ways away from his final recipe just because he needs "field" testing

feedback. Different colors and different exposures as far as elements go. He's doing his due diligence that's for sure!
 
If you need some durability testing, add me to the list! I'm a service tech, and travel daily for work. I drive anywhere from 20 to 300 miles a day, and central IL weather can be pretty diverse.

@sonic

looks like a fun project... 3 things come to mind

1) What are you going to do with all your "old" waxes that are prior to your final recipe? Seems like you will have 25+ small tubs of wax

2) All the 30+ sample list that has already been made, are you going to pay to ship to each of these people?

3) What makes your wax a "high-end" carnauba wax? is there a specific expensive ingredient or what differentiates a normal wax from a high end wax...?

and lastly, how do you know when you "finished" and got the final recipe? and whether adding something new improves the recipe or takes away?

I have all my old waxes currently, as I reference them, their ingredients and such as I develop new recipes, when I have a finished product and I no longer need them, I'm not sure what I will do with them, the workable ones I may send out to anyone interested, I'm not sure though honestly

A great question, I will factor shipping costs, possibly if AG approved, simply due to the sample size list it'd be greatly appreciated if the postage was paid by the user

There's a lot of opinion regarding that subject and I don't wish to debate it / start a debate, but a lot of factors such as carnauba content, user experience, workability, how forgiving? the solvents used and other ingredients, some solvents are incredibly expensive, however they perform better, or smell better, --- there's a lot of factors that go into play, smell and color can factor into this based on opinion as well

My waxes are still in a prototype form so it will truly be up to the users to decide if it's high end and to be considered a quality product, as their satisfaction is the goal, not my own (granted I would have to satisfied with my own product prior to release)

A simple white and black answer, take generic turtle wax and then a dodo juice wax, or a bouncer's wax low end vs high end

Good questions. I also wonder what happens to the other test samples. As for the 2nd question, as a potential recipient, if he chooses send me a small sample, I plan on paying my shipping costs. I wouldn't expect him to pay for shipping, especially if he's giving it to me.

Sample's will be free, however I'm unsure on the postage debacle
Thank you :D

do you write down your recipes for each of your 20 something waxes? so that you know that #4 had x amount of bee wax and carnauba etc, and #8 has this and that? also how do you add a scent to a wax? (is it just adding an air freshener? or is there a specific wax product for that) like how Fuzion smells amazing...

I'll subscribe to this thread so by page 84, you will be finished with Son1c's 104 Wax

yes I do, I write down the ingredients, contents in weight and ml, %'s , and production time, scents are added through ingredients, solvents, and fragrances

Hopefully I will have a wax I'm 100% happy with prior to that! (104)

Thanks for the support rock

ProtoWax 16
Tried a 100% beeswax wax, simply for fun and experimentation, after over a day of cooling this is what I was left with

I bet that a 100 % beeswax doesn t work , hope you can reuse it right !
