Clean? isnt it a pure wax with no cleaners or abrasives?

I believe he meant how well the finish reacts to a wash. SuperBee did a good review of how his Vintage finish maintained its luster after a wash.

And yes, a pure wax by its definition will have no cleaning agents and no stripping power, despite popular belief of a few. That is why a pure wax will layer almost perfectly.

Heh heh, calgarydetail isn't the only person who's waiting and waiting and waiting

Can't wait forever yaknow.....

One day you'll look back and wonder............"why did I ever wait this long?"....good buddy heh heh lol!!!!!!

Edit: Good luck on your project. A good painter and restorer are good friends to have in the wonderful (and deceitful) world of auto body repair!

For the Canadian Vintage people, you guys are troopers! Can't live with the huge taxes & customs money. Hope it works out and your customer base has the demand to fit the price level.

Yeah, don't I know it. I thought the XJ-S was almost finished, but something else came up that really oughta be fixed now, while it's already out of action.

I waited over *20 years* to have some of this work done on the Jag, and the paintwork that the RX-7 needs is related to pre-delivery stuff too!

I almost feel like just buying the wax and sending it to him so this thread doesn't get any longer. I've never heard of customs taking this long. Are you sure they're not trying to use up your Vintage on their postal vans so they can get a refill and then send the refill to you? Has it even shipped out from OCD yet?

Dude - sure looks like you've been owned!

You've been convinced that it's worth dropping silly money on the product - and a month later you've got nothing to show????

Why can't I find customer's like you - really!

Apparently not......

If this is the best they can offer their customers who pay upfront, forget it.......

After all this hassle and the unacceptable service, the company should have already overnighted you a can a LONG time ago......

Beyond pathetic. The owner of the company should be embarrassed.....

I'm thinking about starting a new thread about how I've ordered a Bugatti Veyron online.

Of course it never ever arrives due to a ship sinking, aliens beaming it up from the dockside, and truckers strike in France - but I get to make lots of new friends as I post and post about how it's nearly here....

What do you think - maybe worth pitching to MTV as a new reality series?

I'm saying that 43 pages of posts about something that doesn't happen looks like a lot of wasted bandwidth

If I'd dropped $2k on something - I'd have paid for next day UPS or FedEx, with a tracking number - and maybe take up a whole page with

I ordered it - it's on it's way - here's the pics...

I'm not even going to get into the insanity of paying that sum of money for Carnuba wax!
