I can't place the smell either. Sort of sweet, but ever so slight. I don't think they add any smell at all; it doesn't really smell like anything.

The inside of your refrigerator is warmer than it is outside in Canada, I'm not going to say anything since where I live 59F early morning temp is a must wear socks cold!!

I have to much time on my hands. I looked at the pic ocd sent me. onthe front of the box is a number.... its in the 1000's.. the one i orderd from zymol is in the 2's... can anyone else find this number?

calgarydetail- Glad you like the Vintage, thanks for the review. I didn't expect to be impressed by the beading shots but *man*, that *is* impressive.

lbls1- Yeah, I've been quiet on this thread for a while, but well, I've pretty much run out of things to say! I may very well give Vintage a try on the XJS and/or RX-7, but the wax-em-up point is *so* far away that there's no point in my deciding anything now.

No BSing though, if one of you Vintage-applying-pros were local to me I'd have you do the S8 with it. I just can't take the time for it and that car won't need reLSPed for ages anyhow. Heh heh, for that matter, I'd have you Vintage the Denali XL, what a job that would be!

I *am* curious about what QD to use with Vintage when drying/after the wash.. I'd probably use my Griot's SpeedShine, but I wonder if that'd mute the Vintage I *do* know that I'd wash it with Griot's Car Wash.

Looks pretty impressive! Like I said one day I will probably end up owning some. I'm glad to hear that it wasn't a waste of money for you though, cause of all the dissapointment with ocd you wouldnt want another upset.

I find that it has a faint smell of pine trees.

Glad to hear and see you finally got the wax!!

Now, instead of hand application, I use new foam or terry/foam applicators which are warmed in a toaster oven. Works like a charm!!

I seem to get better application this way than wasting it on my hands. I'm also finding dense foam also works well and prevents the oils going into the foam pores which it does on softer applicators. The terry ones work about same, but find pure 100% cotton terry works very well. That applicator I keep in a bag as long as it's clean to keep it saturated with the oils and wax.

The toaster oven is set to warm, not too hot or you'll end up with a mess that you'll have to work fast.

Zymol is located several towns away and I'm able to obtain whatever I need there.

You know, I've yet to try the Gaseur wax for Porsche.

They're all saying to use a "mild" qd. I've been searching and scouring these boards, but didn't find any list of mild qd's. I think lbls uses the sonus one. What else is mild, and/or doesn't leave anything behind?

Use what Zymol has: Field Glaze. This is a mild QD, wax reconditioner in their view.

I use Zymol's Field Glaze. It's pricey but does a good job. When I'm out of that and in between orders, I use ONR at clay lube strength - serves it's purpose until my next Zymol order arrives.

Sorry but what is a "QD"? Also "ONR"? Sorry about my ignorance.
