From what Scott says, looks to be a good story.

Man, I tried searching and read through every post under Formula 113 / Wax Daddy / Bead-X and nothing lead to anything juicy. Seems like it's locked in the Archives and you can't do a search there.

wow some real funny stuff.
hard to judge much of anything in a crappy youtube vid. everything from turtlewax to dodojuice to swissvax to zymol all looks the same with low res vids. hardly scientific though - looks like the wax daddy stuff probably uses a ton of fillers and such.
it seems most people out there dont understand the prep stage which is most important.
as far as the other douche bag mentioned earlier, im not going to waste my time on a product thats being sold by someone who doesn't know the difference between a sealant, wax, quick detailer, polish, or compound - he seems to think they'r all interchangable

I've seen the "Ramada Red" video a couple of times. Always entertaining.
Seriously guys, as irritating as Wax Daddy's personality may be to some, I think he's actually got the right idea! Cleaner wax may not be Swissvax, but it's much better than nothin'!
Where do you think there is more money to be made in the car care products business?
1) Launching a new product to compete with Menzerna, et al;
2) Trying to persuade the uninitiated that they should be washing, claying, polishing, sealing and waxing to Autopian standards;
or
3) Reaching the tens of millions of car, truck and mini-van owners who never wash or wax their vehicles. It is likely that a good number of these folks would begin to buy an OTC product line and at least try some elementary car care steps if they were exposed to the right marketing campaign. I would think that a popular spokesperson could effectively deliver an entertaining, educational series of print and TV ads, stimulating a previously untapped share of the market to buy their first car care products.
Say... oh, I know!... a good looking, all American, boy-next-door type NASCAR driver.

I was pointing out one of his videos on Autogeek Online (the one where he is talking about Hot Summer Nights and he is at a dealership that uses his stuff) and said he makes himself look like a used car salesman and he PM'ed saying something along the lines of: "Dude, that was low. Call my cell number (whatever it was) I want to defend my products at every chance!".
I never called him, I still have the number in the PM, maybe sometime I will.

Problem? As in rubbing dirt into the paint?

Egads! I may not know a whole lot about waxes, but I do know that DC2 is a "pure polish" that should only be applied to a washed and prepped surface. Talk about rigging the game! Surely this Boler fellow knows this--at least he should know this if he knows anything whatsoever about car polishes and waxes. This is flimflammery.

Who would have thought using a glaze on a black car in the hot sun would leave residue behind? :rofl

It has been so long since I tried it (2002 perhaps?) that the details are a bit fuzzy. I do remember a decent shine, lots of dusting and it didn't last all that long even in wax friendly Dallas climate. It was mid-pack in the Guru Reports Wax test if I remember right.
