Thanks, that`s actually only the tip of the iceberg. I kinda went nuts after joining this site. It was like a revelation for me, and I`ve been enjoying every minute of it.

What`s beauty shine ??? Looks nostalgic !!!

Stores still sell that stuff. It`s a petrolium based tire dressing. It has an orange smell, and leaves a matte finish on tires. It`s not bad, but I`ve found better products.

Beauty Shine also has a carnuba paste wax. I remember the brand from the early 70`s, so it`s been around for a while.

Wow, i can honestly say I have never seen any of the "Before DC products"...where did you get them? The 70s?

Nice selection of "After" products. I would get an Adams Polish clay bar if i were you. Best clay ive ever used (out of Meguiars, Mothers, and Claymagic). And doesnt the Detail Spray smell so good you want to drink it? I swear im not going to be able to resist the urge to take a sip the next time i use it.

I`m sure I picked that stuff up at some retail store while grocery shopping.

The Detail Spray does smell good, but it doesn`t taste good. I accidently got sprayed in the face. Very bitter (both me and the taste), but I smelt like bubble gum all day.

I like the Malco Flash Wax. I use it on cheap-skates who just want the exterior done......

The Super Glaze and LRV are actually pretty good products! - I would put super glaze some where in the VM catagory.

Looks good. My selection of products has become huge because of this site.

No kidding. For years, I used the Super Glaze as a cleaner wax. It has some kind of solvent in it, so it took off bird poop pretty well.

As for the Malco Flash Wax, considered putting it in a spray bottle to use as a spray wax. It`s pretty thin, just like the Super Glaze, and it`s easy on, easy off. Good for the cheapskate customer, because you could do a whole car quickly.

Yeah I would never try super glaze as a topper (doik!) but hmmm now you have me thinking - maybe I should add that into a combo see how it comes out - (I am still very much in love with VM+EX-P+CMW right now though)!!
