I found out when I called them regarding my beta wax shipment, it have never arrived. Turned out I purchased the wax the day after they closed shop :(



Shame, sounded like a good wax too (63% white)

Nothing. The buy out company has yet to collect all the material, or do anything else with it. They were purchased by a competitor, as a means of reducing competition. So it may just end up being put in the bin
 
That's interesting. Most of their products were relabeled CG products. They never seemed to be a big player so that's weird that a competitor would buy them out. Are you sure they just didn't go out of business?



I bought from them once and I can't say I was happy with how they do business. I bought the beta wax along with some items from their store. It took them quite awhile to ship out because to save on shipping, they waited on the beta wax and shipped the items together. I wouldn't have had a problem with that if I was told about it, but they never notified me. And then once it was supposedly shipped, it took a long time to deliver, considering it was only coming from Vegas and I'm in SoCal. When I received my package, I noticed they had shipped first class (which is pretty fast) but they completely lied about the weight of the package (in order to ship it as first class). I think that was why shipment was delayed by the post office.

Hmm interesting...how did you like their beta wax? I got the last batch. I didn't notice a difference except for beading and some slickness. It sucks that they were bought out. I hope they're still developing their waxes.

They aren't working on the waxes anymore. The company pretty much ceases to exist until its buyer does something with it.

I received batch #25 and batch #33. #25 was one of the best beading products I've used so far and seemed to bring out the metallic flakes on my father-in-law's car. Application and removal wasn't so bad if it was applied thinly. The beading fell off quickly but I was expecting that since Ben was going more for a beauty wax from my understanding than a durable wax.



#33 for me was a PITA. QD wouldn't remove it, neither did 50/50 IPA or KAIO by hand. I had to break out the PC on 6 with KAIO and a polishing pad to get that stuff off, and it took a few passes in some areas. I quit ordering any more of the beta waxes, especially since they weren't free. I also noticed that my posts about the negative experience of #33 were removed on his forum.

hmm removed from the forum....that is weird. Oh well, there's a lot of great products anyways, so many vendors to choose from :D
 
The worst detailing related products I ever purchased were Perfecar's air freshener kit, which are just CG relabeled air fresheners. They don't work one bit. The scent is literally gone right after you spray. The only use I can get out of them is if I reuse the bottle/sprayer. Otherwise, the products were the worst junk I've bought to date.

Yeah their Show Winner wax was relabeled 5050 from what I've read, but cheaper in price. I won't say that it's true, but that's what I've read. I wonder what other vendors use CG relabels...
 
Was it relabeled per say or cloned, I thought he was pretty much making replicas of products. I signed up for the "dream" beta wax and never got it... I guess that's 4 bucks I'll never see again.
 
If I remember correctly, Ben never denied the fact that some of his products were relabeled CG stuff. He openly admitted that the Show Winner wax was just 50/50, besides the autographed tin. Supposedly the beta wax was something he was trying to manufacturer in-house to be similar to high end Zymol waxes at a fraction of the cost. I don't doubt at all that they were doing this themselves as the beta waxes were just that.... beta. You didn't miss out on much, besides $4. Sorry to hear you never got anything for it though.
 
Well I had the last batch he sent out...it's just sitting there. Stuff was hard as rock, well I was able to soften it up with my fingers. I am curious about what the final product will be like, if Ben can bring it out somehow.
