I am getting back into taking care of my cars. Quick story, I had an `04 RX8 and joined in `06 (so I am a lurker). Traded the `04 RX8 in for an `11 RX8 in `12. In late `13 traded the `11 RX8 in for an `06 Tacoma. (My son wants to ride dirtbikes...those go fast). The 8s were taken care of, the Tacoma came to me with a bit of wear. So one day I said I have all this cool stuff, let me pretty up my Tacoma.
I have: PCDA, various LC pads, Menz IP, Menz FP, Megs 305, Megs 21, Megs NXt, Megs UPW, Megs Carnuba Plus, among the relevant stuff. Still searching my elders` attics for M16, and just ordered M26 paste.
My question is, what has happened to all of the paste waxes???
I cannot find Megs NXT Paste anymore. There was a can at a WalMart 20 minues away and I didn`t grab it. I cruised the area today and could not find a can. I have a can that is 1/8 full, and it makes me unhappy. I searched google and got nothing. Unless I can figure out how to reconstitute the tin of wheelwax, NXT paste is going on my wheels as long as it repels dust propertly.
Now try to find M26 in a paste. I just ordered 2 tins off of amazon and I am upset I didn`t order all they had. I ordered the 2 out of 6 they had. I should have ordered all.
All you can get in stores not, AutoZone, PepBoys, O`Reiley`s, Walmart, KMart, Sears, etc., are Megs cleaner wax, Megs UPW, NXT liquid, and lower end waxes, such as Turtle wax.
What happened to good consumer paste waxes? I am not looking to spend money on FuZion or Collinite, which aren`t sold in stores anyways. I want Paste NXT and Megs 26 paste.
Where did these waxes go? Did new VOC Regs. get passed?
I have not used liquid waxes and I do not want to use liquid waxes. I like the catharsis of applying a thin layer of wax, wiping it off, buffing it, and looking at a pretty shiny car.
I guess when I get the Taco done, I`ll post pics. Tonight was spent fixing chips in the hood after testing out a Nanoskin sponge. Yes, I still clayed the hood to make sure I did the sponge right. Actually happy with the sponge.
