*Cliff notes at bottom*
I had a couple cars to do exterior details on this afternoon. I had used Poorboy`s PwC and #16 on both on September 10th of this past year. The Miata was filthy but still beading nicely with QEW and had some slickness. The MDX had been molested by car thieves shortly after I last waxed it and had to the front bumper replaced (they apparently tried to tow it off not realizing it has 4 wheel drive) so they keyed two doors which also had to be repainted, so I couldn`t really evaluate the finish as it had been polished and quickie waxed in October.
This time, I used the Shokar twins mostly because the guy with the MDX washes it 5-6 times a week. I want to see how well the sealant holds up to that. It is also that greenish-grey metallic that I feel a clear finish really benefits.
After I finished, the guy with the Miata asked what I had used the last time and I said it was a wax Meguiars has had on the market for 53 years now. He said the beading never stopped on his car, even when it was filthy and it also made it easier to wash because of the slickness. :)
The guy with the MDX had said he wanted to see his truck before it got dark, so I asked the receptionist to let him know the car was done while I was taking the other guy his keys. When I returned, she said he got to the door, looked out and said "Wow!" and when he came back inside, he was grinning from ear to ear. After talking to him myself, he said in the nearly 10 years I`ve been waxing his cars, that is the best any of them have ever looked. Bear in mind, I`ve used Souveran on the red Acura he used to have. He says his paint looks amazing and he can hardly wait to see how the metallic looks in the direct sun (which when I was working on it, seemed to pop right out at you). Too bad when I finished with all the buildings around the office, it was all shade so the pics I took won`t show how nice the metallic looks. Oh well, you can`t have everything!
Cliff notes: Miata customer was very impressed with how durable #16 is. MDX customer extremely happy how Shokar looked on his truck.
I`m happy that my customers are happy and that the Miata owner confirms what I already knew, #16 is one very durable wax.
All in all, a very good day. The feedback is very important to me to help me decide exactly what products I should continue to use and which ones I shouldn`t. :xyxthumbs
