    The 9 wax showdown!

    A bit of a surprise for everyone. I was at Kragen buying some winshield wipers, and I saw a bottle of Dupont Teflon wax on clearance for $1.50 so I thought why not. To say the least I am a bit surprised! This stuff is VERY easy on, but tends to be a bit hard to remove, so apply it thin. It more...

    System One X3 Polish

    If you guys are considering using X3 and don't have a rotary, just head to Harbor Freight and pick one up dirt cheap; that or ebay one.

    Refillable aerosol spray can

    I was just browsing HF, and I just found what could either be a complete waiste of money, or a hidden gem. Not sure how well this would work, but just thought I would share it with everyone. Harbor Freight Tools - Quality Tools at the Lowest Prices

    baked on bmw brake dust

    P21s Gel with a good brush or even bug scrub sponge. If your wheels are coated, you may try Meguiar's Wheel Brightener, which will without a doubt get rid of any of that junk, but be careful because it is powerful stuff and will damage bare aluminum wheels. Most BMW wheels are coated, but just...

    The 9 wax showdown!

    And how! I have never seen anything with this many fillers. It even competes with M7 in its ability to hide stuff!

    The 9 wax showdown!

    Well I just did another side test on the trunk while it was unprepped and swirled up (I just clayed it) with Souveran, NXT V2, and Eagle One Nanowax. Simply put, Souveran did add a little shine, but it was on the scale of more like 1 on that scale I posted. Eagle One did a FANTASTIC job of...

    Canon Powershot S3 Fantastic camera, though I am drooling over a Rebel!

    The 9 wax showdown!

    I just thought I would post up the scale on the difference the waxes made in their ability to darken the paint:

    The 9 wax showdown!

    Final Thoughts Well, I can honestly say that I have learned a WHOLE lot from this little test, probably the most important thing being just how important it is to prep the surface prior to waxing with a REAL good clay job to where not even the plastic baggy can pick something up, and polishing...

    The 9 wax showdown!

    FINAL REVIEW!!! Ok, after waiting 2.5 hours for the video to upload, it froze up on me! I decided I am just going to talk about it until I solve my computer problems, which is probably going to require a reformat of the computer (my computer is pretty messed up right now). It isn't the beading...

    The 9 wax showdown!

    I will be out at 6pm sharp, so I will head to buy the batteries and such so I can get on the move with this and finish this review! (Crosses fingers) I really hope its just the batteries that isn't allowing me to dl the videos! I am still looking for a video compressing program so I can put...

    The 9 wax showdown!

    Ok, it is 11:30 pm, I just home home from work after a 14 hour work day, and to top it off, I have to wake up at 7am, so needless to say I don't have the time to do anything tonight, but trust me when I say I am probably just as, if not more anxious than all of you to see how well the waxes...

    The 9 wax showdown!

    Alright, I am having one hell of a time with these videos! First, they don't want to download on my computer (beading one did, sheeting ones are still on camera), and now I had to wait 20 minutes for it to compress the beading video only to find out it is still too big for youtube! If anyone...

    The 9 wax showdown!

    M26 comes in both paste and wax. Also note that when I look at the waxes, I am not trying to compare how they look to each other, rather how they look compared to the unwaxed paint. I am downloading the first movie, and taking the second movie right after. I will also be mentioning the looks...

    The 9 wax showdown!

    So I woke up, and headed to the garage, and I will leave it there! Sunny day out today so Liquid Glass will have its chance to harden in the sun, and with the dirt parking lot at work, we will see plenty of dusting! I will say that after briefly looking at them, you guys are in for some...

    The 9 wax showdown!

    Yeah I know all about the whole OTC fiasco. The reason for the waxes that I picked was I felt it covered a broad range of different types of waxes. Haven't tried MaxWax, S100, or Nattys, though I do want to eventually get P21S and some Nattys. From what I understand, S100 is remarkably...

    The 9 wax showdown!

    No. I have done an ISO wipedown after M9 in the past to make sure it didn't just cover stuff up, and it doesn't. What you see is what you get. I know some may be concerned about bonding issues and what-not, but I have never run across such issues with M9. Now, with M80, it does add its own...

    The 9 wax showdown!

    Continued: Turtle Wax ICE Polish Paste Just to avoid confusion, this is infact a synthetic wax. This product came with its own foam pad in an oval shape about the size of your hand. It also comes with a microfiber cloth (70/30mix), but one thing that annoyed me about it is that the tag on the...
