Poorboy,
Good grief, I hope his picture isn`t on the can! :D :D :D
Seriously, I`m looking forward to seeing some reviews on it.

It`s a hard paste wax...goes on forever....Natty has been the inspiration and sole tester of the product outside of meand the chemist.
It can be applied in sun or shade and is as easy on/off if noteasier than EX...
It`s wax base is Brazilian No# 1 Carnuba
It has patented UV light absorbers to give a longer lasting shine.
Why only Limited Production....because I didn`t want to buy thousands of tins or jars, neither did my chemist, and these were really cool looking tins....they split in the middle, wax on one side applicator on the other...and they have the Muppets hanging out the window...and it even rolls...
Boss, no pictures of Natty, I want to attract customers, not scare them away.:eek:..lol
OH yeah ...this is what Natty used on the Audi after the rotary on the other thread and on his father`s Mercedes too...

No pics of that Audi or the Benz. Bummer.:(
Does this paste wax rate up with P21S, Trade Secret and the Pinnacles as far as shine goes?

That answer I`ll leave for Natty..who has much more experience with Pastes than I....
As far as I was concerned I never thought paste waxes were very widely used until I came into some detailing forums...I read so much about people topping other stuff with the above mentioned products and Natty put my chemist to the test...
What I can tell you from my testing is that it repells dust and dirt..
water beads and then runs quickly and what really impressed me, was the depth and glow it gave on top of EX:eek:

oh....yes I thought it was rather weird, but Natty had told me the first time he tried it on his truck, which sits outdoors under trees, that the usual stuff that fell out of the trees, which usually would stick to his truck... would not stick :)

Poorboy,
Sounds like good stuff! Since nobody has asked yet, can you tell us the price?

Boss...I`ve been going back and forth on it....the Tins were expensive ...the labor at the factory to fill them was quite an effort...it kept going through the wheel holes before it solidified and it took a few attempts to get it right.
so the answer right now is..I`m not positive
:rolleyes:

wow! I go away from the PC to actually do a little work for a while and this happens?
First let me say it has been fun testing products for Steve. I recall getting two little baby food type glass jars; one pink and the other blue. All I heard was "they are polishes...try em` and let me know what you think. Oh yea, the blue one is stronger than the pink one". They of course turned out to be SSR1 and SSR2 and later came the SSR3.
During my testing I asked Steve if he ever thought about a paste wax. "Who uses paste wax anymore?" Sound familiar Steve? LOL Well all you need to look at is the following that exceptional pastes have....P21s, Blitz, Souveran, Trade Secret, and it`s clear paste waxe isn`t going away anytime soon.
So I`ll tell ya all what I know and what my experience has been with this wax over a couple months and maybe half a dozen different vehicles; keeping in PB tradition it is easy on and easy off. If you`ve used EX or P21s it is right there perhaps even easier. Sun or shade is fine. Let it sit 2 minutes, 30 minutes, an hour.... it simply comes off with almost no effort (if in direct sun on a super hot surface don`t push it more than 30 minutes). It spreads effortlessly and a couple dabs of the applicator on the wax will do a pretty large area (easily half my full size pickup trucks hood). It is like P21s in this regard. I joked to Steve that the size tin he has will outlast most of the cars people own.
Looks wise, IMO, it has incredible clarity for a carnauba paste and outstanding depth of shine. On well polished and prepped black or darker colors it is just liquid (it has no cleaning ability). It does an amazing job of minimizing dust/pollen attraction...very unique for a carnauba paste.
Longevity is at least on a par with the top carnauba pastes. During a side by side panel comparo with P21s I ended up stripping both off after 6 weeks and applying PWC. Not because either of the pastes were finished but because I was doing a test with something else. Like anything though...mileage may vary depending on condition, maintenance, climate, etc. I can safely say it can at the very minimum hold its own with the top carnauba pastes on the market in terms of durability.
Try topping something a couple coats of UPP or EX with this paste wax and it`ll put a smile on your face!
And no, no pics of Natty on the can. Like Steve said, that would be frightening. LOL
Got to get back to work!
