Hello Coach Steve, Prior to posting this thread I did look into Finish Kare Hi-Temp wax. It is not a Carnuba wax. In the product description it is described as a "synthetic" wax product. In my view this is another one of those confusing marketing descriptions we all to often see. Although they...

Interesting observation Bob. In your opinion, what seems to be the reason for this "in and out of favor" of Montan wax over the years?

Ahh....that's it! I do recall seeing something similar to this somewhere a while back. After some researching and trying to find it again, without success, I thought I would ask here. THANK YOU for supplying that data! You da man!

Anyone know for a fact, what the melting point of Carnuba is when used in a typical automotive wax? For those of us residing in the desert southwest where summertime temperatures can reach 115F, this is of particular interest. It is not uncommon for the surface of a black a car, parked in...

In addition to my earlier response, it looks like Duragloss has a similar product available here at Autogeek that will also get those RWLs to clean up nicely.

If you don'y find exactly what you are looking for, try this. After thoroughly cleaning the tires and applying the dressing, go over the RWLs with a common "over the counter" bleach-white tire cleaning product. I cant tell you the name of the particular product due to forum policy. Just look in...

Sent a message to them a couple days ago and have not received any response.

Hey sudsmobile! I did say "reliable and credible". Perhaps I should have said relevant too! Good to hear from you!

I too will endorse the long time favorites, M105 & M205. However, lately I have been loving the Griots Garage BOSS Creams. They are truly a pleasure to work with and have performed beyond my expectations with regard to paint correction and how they finish! Truly an advancement in correcting and...

Wow, that really puts things into perspective for me. Yea, I now can see where it may be justified to charge a premium for the kind of service required on one of these exotics. That totally helped, thanks!

That is perfectly justified! This particular vehicle required "particular" attention and significantly more time and effort. Totally makes sense. So long as the client is advised, this is absolutely and understandably justified. That would go for any vehicle that requires such attention. The...

At the moment, I am of the opinion (and this could change) that one should not be charged more simply because they have an expensive car. Unless that particular car requires some unique or special skill, service or products not typical for most other detailing jobs. Or, if the customer requests...

Some interesting comments so far. Keep 'em coming!

Do any of you professional detailers up-charge, or charge a different rate for work done on an "exotic" car like a Lambo, Ferrari, or perhaps a "showcar"? There are certainly detailers that exclusively cater to this market I'm sure. But, I'm asking about the detailer who mostly does daily...

Awesome! That's much more meaningful in terms of clarifying "long lasting". Thanks for clearing that up. Sounds impressive. Would you qualify this as a coating, or just a dressing? Either way, it sounds like a worthwhile product so far.

Thanks Coach. I have looked a a few YT videos and one thing that is so frequently asked but almost never replied to is "how long does it last"? I do realize that it can be a difficult question to answer but people are tied of hearing virtually all companies offering this kind of product and...

Hello Coach Steve. I posted a similar question here in the forum recently too. Regarding the product you suggested, how long does it last?

Sorry for asking such a vague question. I'm sure I could spend hours researching and form my own opinion. Just trying to see if a consensus already exists on which products currently offer the best value as technology is constantly advancing. The 4 criteria I am most interested at this point...

Hey sudsmobile, that was a GREAT response! A lot of very practical advice. Nicely done sir!

in your opinion, on a black car that has been well polished, is there any worthwhile benefit to applying a product like Poorboys Black Hole (or similar "glaze" product) prior to laying down a high quality carnuba based wax? I understand that generally there are 2 main reasons to apply glaze...
