    Help!!!!

    Your car doesn't have a release button by the shifter? Most newer cars have them. There is a cover over it that you pop off with a flat head screwdriver

    Speckles on paint

    That's what I thought originally. But like I said the paint was smooth when I was done and this stuff was on the trunk, doors etc. The second one is a pic of the fender. And there is not supposed to be any flake in this paint.

    The Gaziliionth Question About Wax

    My only assumption for them making that statement is so that they get BMW and Mercedes owners thinking this is the wax for them. Plus it's expensive so it must be good.
