:D I woke up today and felt kind of inspired.
My blend was
40% Gold Class
40% Perfecar Dream wax Beta #33
20% Meguiar`s M16 Pro. Paste Wax
EDIT: If figured I would use this because #33 has little to no oil, and Gold Class has lots of oil. I had to add #16...because well its #16!
:D it is sitting outside right now (much colder than my deep freezer)
It has the colour of Gold Class. The blue from M16 was all gone by the time it was melted. I used a pot with boiling chips and and old glass cup. I poured it into an old hair wax container.
Pics to come.

Actually manufactures don`t recommend freezing wax.

well...the usually wouldn`t recommend mixing it either. I didn`t leave it outside for long, just long enough so that it would solidify.
BTW: Perfecar told me to put their wax in the freezer.

hmm my laptop does not seem to be recognizing my camera, so i might i have to take a few pics with my phone. It looks a lot like tuna. I applied it to a toy car, and it only looked okay... It hazes white and the removal is a breeze.

okay I got 3 of them making the wax. The ones of the model car aren`t working.
:P excuse my poor camera skills!
EDIT the bottom pic looks so chunky because I wanted to apply it to somethinc, but no applicators would fit in, so i squeezed the sides and shook the container. I imagine that the wax is pretty soft.

I`d really like to try it, but my car is kind of dirty (-20C outside...everything will freeze.) and second...I usually test things on other peoples cars before I use it on my own. I highly doubt this wax will have any durability because Gold Class and Batch #33 don`t have any durability at all. I cannot comment on #16, but I have it on the roof of my Gen7.
I am just supprised it didn`t dramitically darken the paint like Gold Class does...maybe I am making a wax that has the worst of everything. :l

LOL..this gets my brain working...what do I have to play with here....
S100 + M26 paste = S&M 126 :D Souveran-ish??
845 + M26 liquid = 871 Durability and depth?
I`m sure it`s not that simple though
Has anyone mixed pastes and liquids?

Lol, you can`t just toss in Collinite for "durability" and then say, oh what about that SHINE and toss in #16...it doesn`t work like that lol...

I still regularly use my 16/PW blend, I also have one with Natty`s/S100/#16 laying around that has absolutely sick wetness. Durability is closer to S100 than #16 though...
