Hey all.... I was directed to this site from a member on the Benz W107 website to check out product reviews on waxes and sealants.....awesome!
I thought I was alone but it seems there is a few people who get off on getting that shine right and "know" where those imperfections are.
I started off on my father's Holden Stateman as a teeneager, miles of sheetmetal and chrome, always shiny....in fact the mechanics at the dealership always commented on how good the car looked. In those days it was basically ye olde muscle building Turtle Wax, paint on tyre black, methylated spirits for the windows, Mr Sheen for the interior, silvo for the chromework.
I've owned several Alfa Romeos a couple of Mini Coopers, some Aussie Fords and Holdens. All held their value well. Current cars are a Holden Commodore with a really dull clear-coated metallic green which is frustrating to get "right" and a stunning clear coated silver 74 Mercedes SLC.
I've got a 10 gallon storage bin filled with car care products ranging from Excellent to Useless. Total cost is around $500, should have found this site earlier. Currently trying Meguairs products and if I could get Zaino Bros stuff easily downunder, I'd probably use it.
I'm not as hard core as some of the posts I've read here but there again running my cars through one of those automatic car washes gives me the creeps.
