Just wanted to give an update to this thread - I got an reply back from Nick @ Prima. Turns out he was out in the woods for the past few days on a no-doubt well-earned vacation and didn't have access to email.

I never was able to get ahold of Prima yesterday and the hot20 coupon was expiring so I went ahead and placed an order anyway. I ended up getting Amigo, Epic, & Banana Gloss plus Slick for touch-ups. I also grabbed some Nero for the tires & dash. I realize that Hydro/Hydro Max are popular for...

So from their website... Epic is a synthetic wax, with resins and polymers Banana Gloss is a liquid wax, mostly resins with "a touch of carnauba" Hydro is spray-on wax with high levels of polymers Hydro Max is a sealant, the spray form of Hydro Seal Still not sure which 1-2 of these would be...

I actually did email them back on Wednesday ([email protected]), but haven't gotten a reply yet. I wasn't planning to be urgent about it but then I just saw the 1-day 20% + Free Shipping code that went up and suddenly now I want a quicker answer :) I will try giving them a call though and...

Help me fill in a blank here... I do not yet have an orbital. It's on my list, probably for xmas or something. But for now it's hands only. This is for a yellow car. I was thinking of using Amigo + either Epic/Banana (some people apparently use both) after wash, and probably use Slick as a...

A bit cheesy, but nobody's mentioned this one yet... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wK63eUyk-iM

OK, that makes sense - the wax removal is happening as a side effect of something else they're doing so it doesn't specifically get called out in the description. I think then that I won't worry too much about buying a product for wax stripping then since I'm getting a clay bar soon and plan to...

How often do you clay and polish? Every time you're going to wax, or only sometimes? What do you for the in-between times (if any)?

I've been reading and I don't see much about what products people use to remove old wax from their car. All the threads talk about "I use this wash, then this glaze, then this sealant, then this wax" but not about removal. So is removal just not that important? Does everyone just use...

This matches my experience too. Color match is great, filling is not. I've tried multiple layers, still doesn't seem to fill it in. I can imagine that eventually, maybe with a dozen layers, it might fill in - but probably not with less than that and that's a huge amount of work. So, my new...

So is the White wax the same original formula or was it changed in order to gear it more towards lighter color cars?

My wife says that when I wash my car (Porsche 993), I have to wash hers also (Ford Explorer). Over time, I hope to migrate to a model where I still wash both, but it's OK if mine gets a more elaborate washing process. That Explorer is just enormous...
