Hey fellas,

New guy here. Posted on the intro forums about my homebrew few days ago.
I decided to up the nuba content a bit and added a bit more of the natural solvents. Dropped the fragrance as it was giving me a headache. The wax is now 100% natural. It is coming out the way I wanted it to-somewhat hard so its applied evenly and thinly, with a nice clarity to it. It also hazes fairly quick with no streaking.
So far im happy with the brew. Been working long hours and weather hasn't been the greatest so I haven't been able to test it on my car until this weekend. I did give a sample to one of my G8 buddies who will test it also. Im also down to send samples for feedback to any of you guys if interested.
Will update with pics of the wax on my car, in the meantime here are some pics of the finished(hopefully)recipe:

Ok guys, so I sent a sample to member fullattn2detail, who happened to be a fellow G8 owner on my FB page. Anyhow, I finally got to apply the wax to my car today. Keep in mind my car has close to 50k of uncorrected paint. Took these with an iphone too. Will get better pics with a better camera. Here are the results :)






 
Hey that looks great. Id be happy to test out the product and post a review :)
 
Thank you! It does use a solvents, but they are natural. Nothing derived from petroleum.
 
Always good to up the carnauba content! Looks good!!
 
Do you live on Long Island? Looks like the chipotle on motor parkway.

Anyway that g8 looks good. Wouldn't mind testing your wax out.
 
Kevin I am looking forward to putting your wax to the test! I return back to the states on the 6th ;)

Thanks a lot. Im content with the amount of nuba in there now. But thats why I ask for feedback, because that may change :)

I'm in queens but I'm out on the island quite often actually. Grandma lives out at exit 69 on the lie and my brother goes to stony brook so I'm out there more often than not

Hey, I wouldn't mind trying out your wax if you have any. I'm a long islander too so shipping/pickup wouldn't be an issue
 
Back from the dead. I apologize for not following through...Came across some personal issues and had to put this off. Anyhow, I scrapped the original recipe and came up with something i'm excited about. Consistency is similar to 3M show paste, its silicone-free and I spared no expense in making it. Beading was excellent and the slick feel was apparent after application. With a 20 minute cure time and no residue left behind I'm very content.
To the guys that I promised samples to, I am instead sending you these 8oz tubs as a sorry for not following through:



I would love to see this on a kona blue stang!
