Wow, I hope you don`t have to wait that long. I got my Vintage two days from the day I ordered it. It would have been the next day, but I missed the FedEx deadline by two hours.

Calgary is such a beautiful city. I used to spend quite a bit of time there when I was with my previous employer. I used to love *all* the Canadian overnights we had...Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton. Beautiful cities, all of them. And I must say that overall, Canadians are faaaar more friendly than Americans. We could all take a lesson in common courtesy from our neighbors to the north.

It`s the one from my old foam gun thread: http://autopia.org/forum/car-detaili...=foam+guns+fun

Apparently, Cam-Spray won`t ship them to Canada, so I bought one and shipped it to him.

yeas superbee canada is an amazing country. We are a very patrotic people, and welcome everyone with welcome arms. Unforuntly lots of these cities are getting bigger, and with that comes problems. For instance, calgary now has over 1 mill. Its starting to loose its small town feel,... but at theend of the day i could not imagine living in any other country. I am canadian and canada is my home

ok back on topic. I might have misinterprated when he said a week, it has happend in the past. If yours came in 2 days then I would assume mine would not take 3 weeks (taking customes out of the picture). Brett must have ment a week to customs... i guees we will find out soon enough

Congrats on the purchase. I cannot wait to hear how you like it. What are some other products that you used and will be comparing it to?

**TGates** · 09-17-2007, 05:07 PM

Am I the only one here cringing to myself thinking about all the scratches I`m going to put in my paint applying wax with my callussed man hands?

other zymols, pinncale sov, umm i dunno. I have tried a few other zymols and they all seam to bein a class of there own so i dont know what i will compare it to.

As for scratched from your hands. I have never had an issue. I have rough hands, waxed a few cars using the hand method and never had any issue.

I contacted brett, He was very quick to reply to my e-mail. Top marks there.

He said he talked to them earlier today. The wax is being packaged up, the paper work is being done tomorow and its getting shipped. That means in his hands by wensday. He said it would be shipped the same day he gets it.

He said the average delivery to canada is 5 days... but thats up to customs

And to boot he said he would take some pics for me before he ships it out :goodjob

so hopefully it should bein my hands by mid next week

Well said. So many times I`ve called customer service for a company and the (usually a female) rep is so helpful and pleasant. It prompts me to ask where she`s located and they usually say somewhere in Canada.

Back on point - did you get your Vintage yet?

**imported_Picus** · 09-17-2007, 06:15 PM

Clearly you guys haven`t been to Toronto.

Now that you mention it, I never have been to Toronto. I understand there`s a pretty good place to get your car detailed there, though.

Ya a few, like 4.3 million, all in the GTA.

He`s right. I just drop the cars off at a $19.99 detail place and relax for 8 hours! :grinno:

**lbls1** · 09-17-2007, 10:51 PM

Did you get it yet?? I know its not tuesday, but....

Edit: BTW I had a pic of my empty container of Vintage. It is on my old memory chip that inconveniently took a dum(dive)p on me.........which led me to buy another chip, and which led me to spend another chunk of money on a new camera. Of course, totally unrelated but interesting filler material for internet text space.

I hope I can somehow get the pic of my empty container by the time you wow us with your full container pics.
