I think Natty's White is designed for lighter cars. I've heard good things about Autoglym's HD Wax on lighter cars, but most of the time it's Metallics that get the love on lighter colors. Dodo Juice has a soft wax and a hard wax that is supposed to be good for white cars too. Might wanna check...

Blooming is supposed to happen from the rotation of the tires. And not in a matter of a few minutes. That's the part that has me confused.

This is pretty much a copy/paste from Autopia... but I figured it'd be good to get some responses from over here too. Anyways, I've done quite a bit of reading about what causes the tires to brown, and all sorts of things of that nature. So here's an interesting question I pose to you guys...

You'd need to get a vinyl top, and drive 40 mph on the interstate to pull that off though. :) Leave your turn signal on for over a mile without changing lanes for bonus points! It's really a cool event. You get to meet important people from different big companies, and hit them up for free...

Park next to my Saturn and you'll be all right :p There's parking on the side too for people whose cars aren't show cars. The Cutty wouldn't fit in there though because of the lack of tint. Almost all Florida cars are tinted very dark :)

There were quite a few old muscle cars there last year, there was a Saleen S331, a very gorgeous yellow Mustang inside the tent, a C5 Z06, and a bunch of other cars I can't remember. But last year was kinda rainy and cloudy out, so i think a lot of the show cars didn't come out.

I emailed Meguiar's about it and they said that none of the gel products are water based. Just to have the knowledge out there for everyone else. FWIW, Black Magic said that only their "Titanium Matte Dressing" was water based.

I've been using Four Star Tire dressing on my car and love it (especially the BOGO deal of it ;)) It's also water based and has a nice deep black matte look to it. I actually emailed AA about the gel and they said that it was indeed a water based dressing. I was skeptical about it at first too.

We had a pretty lengthy discussion over on autopia about water based tire dressings (because I'm paranoid with my new tires), and came up with a few OTC and more readily available tire dressings that were water based. Turns out Armor All's tire gel is actually water based, and it seems to be a...

Room for 7 cars, and a double-sized work area with a drainage system that can be covered completely and still look nice if what is being done on that side is not cleaning. A retractable skylight on that side as well, and plenty of power outlets. Then all the basics, plenty of lights, work bench...

What's not to like? The customer service is excellent, you guys are always adding great new products, pricing is good, and you're pretty much local. Oh and you throw awesome events and contests.

I got it at detailfest too. It actually works really well on rubber trims, cleans them up very nice. I didn't like it on vinyl though, didn't seem to work as some other cheaper products. I actually like the small size of it though, makes it perfect for something to keep in the glovebox. My spray...

Ain't that the truth. I haven't noticed it up here in Gainesville. Though I have noticed employers are trying to leverage fear in hopes of getting more. Maybe it's just the college town atmosphere?
