Old school waxes...pics and stories, this should bring back memories!

[Klasse Act]

I was just looking at the thread here about Liquid Glass and thought I'd start a new thread, one with old waxes we may have used or saw used by our Dad's or Uncle's, I'll get it started:

These are even in the metal cans too, LOL! Don't remember the Blue Poly but I do remember the regular Blue Coral, I remember as a kid that "that was the stuff", LOL! The Rain Dance on the other hand, well, my Dad used it exclusively, he used to say look at the rain water going "dancy, dancy", the things you remember and never forget.

Can't wait to see the ones you guys put up here:buffing:

WOW! Imagine the day of fun you'd have with these products...and the huge biceps removing it, don't forget to grab an old t-shirt for removal, LOL!

24 month protection and $3.00 back, how did this not go over big back when "Eye of the Tiger" was #1, LOL!

Maybe this is where Brumos got their striping idea!

Just 'cause it's "old school" don't mean it's no good.

I did the old Blue Coral - by hand. (once). Immortallized in song by Jan and Dean ... Blue Coral wax job sure looks pretty ... (Drag City).

Rally also had a vinyl top wax, probably the precursor to Armor All, it looked about the same, if I remember correctly. I used it, and liked it at the time.

Hey Hoytman--I had to go check my cabinet and make sure you didn't steal my Classic products!

I do not have any old tins like these. Makes me wish my dad and uncle saved the tins from when I was a kid. I remember most of these. My uncle had me waxing his blue 1978 Z28 when I was 8 years old with the old green Turtle Wax paste for $5. Was big money when I was a kid. Thanks for the memories and keep them old tin pictures coming.

Did someone say Blue Coral??

I was saving this until I had a "good" car to use it on. I wonder when that is going to be? Check out the $3.99 price.

I guess that $3.00 rebate was a biggie back then

Klasse Act--that Blue Poly in the can--before most of you guys were born I worked with a guy who put that on his car EVERY WEEK (I believe he used the liquid version). He was a true Autogeek before there even was an internet (well, maybe it was a gleam in Al Gore's eye). TC, are you out there?
