Gliptone

[Dolphin463]

A brief run to Pep boys found a car care close out section that included "Gliptone Paste Wax" . Anyone ever tried this? Had a great smell to it and claimed to be "the world`s best wax". Sure. For only $5, is it worth a try? Thanks.

If it is the carnauba wax, sure for $5 try it out. you might like it. I would not touch the second one with teflon if it was $1, but if it was free sure.

:up I used Gliptone Carnauba back in 90 when I bought my Nissan 240sx. A co-worker recommended it, who restored old vettes used this exclusively said it gave the best shine. Well back then he was right It really gave a great shine to my 240sx(candy red) and lasted quite a while. The stuff is easy on&off and does have a nice aroma. Hey if I find this stuff for $5 bucks I`ll buy it. I`ll try to find a pic I had of the 240 after I gliped it!

The Gliptone at Pep Boys for $5 was the Carnauba paste wax, not the Teflon variety. I`ll give it a try and compare with Blitz and P21S.

I`ll have to check my local Pep boys. For $5 Ill like to compare it also. If your going to fry eggs on a car I guess scrambled would be out of the question ? Ok, over easy. :D

Mike, I found the picture of my 240sx that I Glipped. I took a digital picture of the still I took in 1990. I wish I knew then what I know now about car care. But looking at this picture I didn’t do a bad job with just Westleys car wash , cotton towels , Gliptone pre wax cleaner & Gliptone Carnauba. Actually Gliptone was very nice to use, nice aroma,easy on & off. If I find it locally I would like to compare its durability to Blitz because it did give a great shine.
