But this time it will turn out well, because I was invited to post this thread (sans brand names) by the owner of the site.

That`s cool.

:lol Manufacturers should also note that the sample size is under 20 :lol

I understand your side of the argument, but I think your approach could be more diplomatic and less "activist."

Good luck to you :up

ZaneO...OUT!...

I give up. I just can`t come up with the right caption for this.

Do I have to worry about water in my 845 IW ?

Sand put into my Megs 83 ?

Hey Buddy ya want to buy some rings, watches or how about some car wax.

Man it just ain`t goin to happen. Never worried about it and never will.

Actually, a $40 bottle of unsealed polish that looks exactly the same if diluted with water is quite a big incentive to steal. It`s not likely, but it is very possible.

In order to prevent this tragedy from occuring to begin with, and to put an end to your obsession, the easiest thing to do is twist off the cap and take a looksy to see if ... it looks perfectly fine to purchase.

I see you are not a chemist, sir. I defy you to tell me whether a water-miscible liquid has been diluted with your look-and-see test. :chuckle:

The important things in life are sealed - medicine, vitamins, Tylenol, condoms, juice boxes, fruit roll- ups, cream cheese and Crystal Light iced tea mix.

AHA! And you therefore are saying that the chemicals we apply to our expensive cars are not part of that "important things" group, are you?! I think you`ve just undermined the whole thrust of this website. :nervous2:

That`s not really the way I see it. Only ONE person would not buy a product if it didn`t have a seal. The rest said they don`t care or would still buy if it didn`t have a seal. That doesn`t really prove to anyone that a company needs to start putting seals on their products :nono

Food is one thing, but detailing products? Come on! You could go so far as to say the guys monitoring the sealing machines are `tampering` with the products before they are sealed. I don`t think anyone has an interest in tampering with your bottles of Mothers products!

I dunno Spilchy, I think I have to agree with Shubba on your list of important things that have seals...what about tin hats?

Yes, as the owner of this site states, "it`s just wax."

You can easily solve this - don`t buy it! A one man boycott. This way you can really stick it to the "man." You can lead a crusade! Start a revolution! You can change the car wax packaging process as we know it.

All great men who advocated change of the status quo have come under persecution. You`ll rank right up there with the best of them!

Don`t let us spurn your quest. Keep fighting the good fight. Justice is on your side.

You`ll show us.......you`ll show us.

Avenge me! AAAAAAVVVVVVVVEEEEEEENNNNNNNNGGGGGGGEEEEEEEE MMMMMEEEE!!!!!

(I hope we keep this guy around! I like him!)

To the nay sayers: what ON EARTH do you gain by opposing seals on car care products? I can only see advantages (spillage and leakage prevention, theft and tampering prevention). How in the name of all that`s sane do you justify your "don`t care about" and/or "don`t want" properly packaged products?

Especially when the darned stuff gets put on the almost holy surface of the beloved vehicle!

**exile** · 12-20-2005, 05:39 PM

Troll!!!!!

**4830Deuce** · 12-20-2005, 05:42 PM

Because I have NEVER heard of a single case where unsealed detailing products caused a problem for the consumer.

Nobody ever told you that sarcasm is the lowest form of wit, obviously. Or perhaps you`ve been sniffing too much polish. pal. As far as your posts are concerned, the issue is :closed:

Well you wouldn`t, would you? Diluted product isn`t something that gets into newspapers, is it?

**ZaneO** · 12-20-2005, 05:46 PM

Are you not taking the hint??

-Justin

Ghetto.......... ********. I have been to high end stores where s H I T ! is also opened and un sealed. Just becasue you dont live in the "GHETTO" you think people automatically wont do sh it like that ? :think: You`re wrong. WIse Up.
