    Raceglaze 55 vs Black Label??

    hell, i get my value by putting my swissvax into black label containers. black label is right at the top in my carnubas and whether it has 66 % or none it is a joy to use on these miserable oregon days. thank you ken for the tip on it and the product itself.

    Who does not?
