I do the same as you only twice as far as you were

thanks, and i have never had an issue with damaging the paint, i dont normaly stand that close, I just did that day for some reason.. I dont realy know why.. just kinda worked out that way.
Im not to worried about the durabilty of the wax. My car dosent go more then 2 weeks without a new coat of wax

Nuba always has a soft spot but I generally get to play with nuba in the fall & spring season.
I'll play with it in the summer but heat and such, it's not the best application for me.

I've read Sbees impression on Vintage on his DD. Love to hear some more opinions on how Vintage holds up in different climates, storage conditions, wash frequency, etc. Does it get oily and attract dust or pollen, etc.

Even though this might be the longest thread in Autopia history and you went through a lot of hassle, there are two great things to take away from here.

1. You got a wax that you love no matter what the price is and what other people say.
2. You alerted a lot of people to the fact that ordering from OCD Garage is a BAD idea.

I know after reading this I would NEVER order from them. I already knew that Vintage was a great wax.

I just wish I had unlimited refills.

I only have the sample size and I'm almost out.

What sample size? You can buy a sample size?

#34 is *pretty* mild, and hardly leaves anything behind. But I dunno, I doubt I'd use it for this unless I was also applying another coat of wax.

'I' still believe that Field Glaze,or Detail are the prefered/better option.Having said that,there are some other QD's that 'I' find work very well with Zymol: CK Quickshine,1z Lackfinish,and one of my all time favourites is Gliptone Body Gloss.This is mild and works very well,but is not available everywhere.I think this is a 'forgotten' and underrated product.

Wow, now I don't feel so bad. That's exactly how I got mine, $300/4oz. If it wasn't for this, I probably would never have gotten to try it. But now that I have, that's $300 that could have been used towards the full product with free refills. A product unlike anything I've ever seen!

Calgary, man, I'm so glad to hear you finally got your Vintage. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.

I'm sure Mr. OCD Garage's "emergency" was the $2,000 charge back notice he got from the credit card company. Funny how all of your attempts to contact him went unanswered until he suddenly found his bank account short about two grand. Then he suddenly contacts you...I think you should extend to him the same courtesy: just ignore him, don't communicate with him (no email replies, don't answer the phone, etc) then when (more likely "if") the wax ever shows up, refuse delivery with a note attached that says, "Sorry, I had an emergency, and am not able to accept delivery."

You pictures look great! Looks like you're having fun with it already. I just hope it doesn't freeze up and shatter off of your car up there.
