    PassatPunk..



    I saw some Simoniz bubble wash at K-mart, it comes in a 206 oz. container. I forgot the price of it, but I think it should be cheap.

    I`ve purchased a boat-load of products for my new car over the past few months - the only one that I would strongly urge everyone to avoid is Turtle Wax`s Self-Drying car wash - I saw it at Wal-Mart for $1.50 (clearance-priced) and so I couldn`t resist - this stuff is practically worthless - however, I do plan on mixing it with another car wash and using it up because I don`t want to throw it away - having said that - I do recommend Turtle Wax`s Express Shine - it is a good spray-on wax and provides a long-lasting shine and will buy it again.

    Suprised no one has mentioned cats and baby oil. Avoid them at all costs, except maybe when cooking.

    I would not recommend shoe/boot polish for tires, and to be safe stay away from some of those acid based cleaners, and stuff that claims to be spray on hose off.



    Some products may be hated by some but loved by others...

    I would say Jason loves to sniff this boot polish and acid cleaner too much..

    Boot polish though, sounds like a perfect idea. I mean this would produce they best look for a tire I think, and I was really itching to try it, but I dont think it would be good for the tires and everyone else says no.. and these guys are pretty smart.

    So no to the Boot polish. Acid based wheel cleaners, Matters what you got and what you dont got in front of you.

    It must be the boot polish killing my brain cells off. Besides car detailing I like to keep my service oxfords (got one all leather pair, and one poromeric glossy ones) and Corcoran jump boots spit-shined. A small tin of polish (I got more than 10 tins of different polishes, original black kiwi (got a big one 2 1/2 oz, 2 regular sized ones 1/ 1/8 oz, and a few smaller ones, some kiwi original brown just for fun, parade gloss black but I don`t like it much, and two tins of neutral (when I feel like cheating), a pair of leather shoes, a old t-shirt, some spring water, and a few...8 hours of rubbing and I got a high gloss pair of shoes.

    Don`t even think about using boot polish on tires.

    Also, if you have so many bottles of Armorall, I`d just sell them very cheaply. I wouldn`t even want to use that on wheel wells. Nothing really.



    Beau, update your signature. Welcome aboard to some of the P21s car shampoo zealots.

    Beau, yeah go ahead and update your signature. Welcome aboard to the P21s car shamppoo zealot club. Awesome car shampoo.



    For all the left over armor all, I probably wouldn`t even use it on wheel wells. I`d probably just sell it very cheaply to some of my "friends".

    Boot polish would work on tires if they were made out of leather...

    I`m forgetting; who has the Ferrari `round here that the dealership uses boot polish on the tires?



    There was a Land Rover Discovery parked outside my house. I heard the guy telling his friend he just had it detailed; the tires HAD to have had boot polish on them. Looked strange. Nice, but strange.

    it was Jason Fraser (sp?) who had that fine Ferrari with the boot polish on the tires. I think he has to change his tires frequently right? Once every 3000 miles???

    I like how Don wouldnt even use Armol All on wheel wells. Shows how much this product is loved. And he is a loving kinda man too.



    beau - dont go too fast to change your sig. to read P21S. Mind as well just type over Wash n Wax with Pinnacle Bodywork Shampoo.
