    The tactile component

    Being new at this and trying a variety of different waxes, I find that I've been drawn to notice the differences in the feel of the final finish. Everyone talks about the gloss or dripping wet shine of a particular wax but nobody seems to mention the feel. From what I've tried so far, it seems...

    Liquid products expiry date?

    Good question... and does that 10-20 years for paste wax still apply to the new waxes with an abundance of polymers?

    Griots per-wax cleaners???

    What's the difference between Groits per-wax cleaner and Griots paint prep? The descriptions sound about the same. I must be missing something.

    Multiple coats of wax

    Most wax descriptions say that you can add a second or third coat for added gloss and depth. Can you wax too much? What starts to happen when you put on say 10 or 12 coats? Does the wax buildup result in a rather soft surface? Do you start losing gloss and color clarity? I assume there is a...

    You paid how much for that wax?

    Come on guys, I need an honest explanation as to why some waxes cost 10 times what other ones do. My wife's gonna see my credit card bill in a few days and I'm going to have to explain myself... So, without revealing any trade secrets. What causes some waxes to be so expensive. Ingredient...

    Lava?

    What do you guys think about CG Lava "Luminous Glow Infusion Wax"? Are you using it as a sealant only and putting a carnauba over it? Are you using it as a glaze? or as an LSP wax? (I can't tell from the description what it is and there are no reviews posted.)

    evaluating swirls for a newbee

    So... since I started dabbling into car care, my son brought his 5 year old beemer over today so dad could wash it and wax it for him (and show him what I've been learning from this wonderful site). Since both of my cars are fairly new, this is the first time I've looked at a car with the...

    The guzzler vs the absorber

    Hmmm... don't know. I bought the green ones and the large one and the small one are all I need to suck my car dry. You didn't wash them with fabric softener or bleach did you?
