    Stumbled On This

    I was doing a little surfing and stumbled upon this product. I hadn`t seen it before. I read through all of their rhetoric and the thing that struck me as ironic was their recommended frequency. I think you could get by using a product like Wax-As-U-Dry at these intervals and be just fine. At $70/4 oz. one should expect more. I think their trying to sell you on the aluminum container but in reality it`s a pop can. I find it a little more than suspect when someone sets me up by saying I`ll never have to do something again (wax, seal, vapor) and then tells me I need to something on a monthly basis, not a real confidence builder.

    Anyone have any first hand insight on VaporWax?

    Never tried it, but I remember seeing a Pittman headlight restorer kit, which was something like $30 or $40 for half an ounce, on e-bay quite often. Probably the same type of stuff. Go on!! You should buy some and let us know how amazing it is!! You know you want to!!

    Re: Stumbled On This

    Excerpts from their webpage:

    WHEN SHOULD YOU PUT WAX OR POLISH ON A NEW CAR FACTORY FINISH?
    NEVER
    A wax shine is achieved by the use of solid particles that are designed to cover the
    factory finish and replace it with a lessor after market shine.
    Wax can promote rust. Nothing in wax inhibits the formation of rust.
    Waxing can seal moisture to the paint, build up create application and buffing
    scratches. (swirl marks)
    Take a chance with polish or an aggressive PTFE treatment and there is no turning
    back. That factory finish is gone forever GUARANTEED.


    THE CAVEMAN WILL WASTE YOUR TIME AND MAKE A COMPLETE AND UNNECESSARY PRODUCTION OUT OF DETAILING YOUR CAR

    Waxing your car is fast becoming a ritual of the past, clay bar, microfiber towels, (terry cloth) power buffing, glazing, It`s not that serious.....Sure
    you want your vehicle to look good but, most of us have LIVES. Who has the mentality or time to stand and rub on a vehicle for hours?
    ....Knuckle dragging Cavemen thats who and they`re a dieing breed.
    You can still find caveman posing as experts on redundant Internet forums that promote wax, polish and sandpaper. Religiously passing down
    ancient outdated and in many cases harmful advice.

    Don`t expect a simple minded caveman with a power buffer to understand what an electron is.
    Or how we use them every day to make life easier.
    Cavemen typically fear and reject things they do not understand, They fear new technology like fire. That is why this technology has eluded
    them.

    To a caveman new technology is an orbital power buffer clay bar and microfiber towels.
    As the Internet allows modern man become more informed. The world of the caveman is fast coming to an end.
    Times have changed. Wax companies recognize this and have began to focus on synthetic wax and paint treatments that don`t crack, turn
    yellow, dull the finish, include abrasives, have to be removed or take hours to apply.

    Gee-willickers! Another I (we) have some miraculous product which makes everyone and everything else obsolete. Try not to take it personal. Stay awake all night sometime and watch tv, it`s crammed full of infomercials like that about everything under the sun. The target market for all these super advanced technologies is the super gullible all night drunk!

    .....A week after I treated my car it rained all day. I got up the next day
    and washed my car with plain water and dried it off.
    The shine was still there. Its been two weeks and my car still shines
    Charles Ansini Lorraine, FRANCE

    I tried it on my Black Mustang.
    Even after several washings using only cold water, The paint has a
    shine like it did when it was new.
    Mandy Sokowski New York, USA

    I own a car lot and tried it on 10 cars in our front row.
    One month later 6 of the original 10 were sold along with 5 replacements that
    were all treated with VaporWax.
    After four weekly washings The original four that were not sold still had a deep shine on them
    We did not use soap and did not need wax.
    We offer the VaporWax treatment as a option to customers whom vehicles we service.
    Excellent product. They love it, I have never seen anything like it.

    "Unreal". I did not realize there were so many shades of black.
    The paint actually changes color, Its BLACK now.
