It was a late night last night....in fact all week has been early mornings and late nights...very busy:xyxthumbs



This morning by 12:00 PM we had 2 details done plus one half way done and two more waiting in the wings....big $$$$ day but then all hell broke loose.......it rained and rained and rained some more:(



Well late yesterday I finished this 350Z, silver in color and just an awesome car! Man I love this car........lots of bang for the buck!



I polished with Light Cut hand applied Wolfgang and I was going to top it off with Pizazz but as I was digging for the Pizazz in my wax bag I came across the tester tub of Victoria Cruisin Wax that was sent to me several weeks ago.



The application process is rather odd in that the makers of the wax highly suggest it be applied with your warm hands or fingertips:nixweiss The reasoning is that after awhile the foam pad will become polluted and mess with the wax concentration. Sounds reasonable.



I did end up liking the VCW and when used on top of the WG gave off some really nice gloss and reflectivity. Waxing Frenzy is used on the wheels.



Here are a few pics,

Zymol's estate and specialty waxes asked the same thing, application by hand (literally) and heated with same. Didnt like the idea then, and dont like it now. Nice pics however.

Its like this crazy notion of washing your car but not using a hose....



Anthony, :xyxthumbs sweet job!
 
Hey thanks guys!



I have a messed up Mercedes to detail full out tomorrow (if the rain stays away:rolleyes: ) and it is dark gray in color and I'll most likely try this same combo again to see how it looks on something dark............OR maybe FMJ and the Victoria:nixweiss



Thanks again,

Anthony

Victoria Wax claims to be a "beautification" wax or a concours type wax. This particular wax claims to be 40% carnuaba, another wax made by them I think is 30 or 35% carnauba.



They also have a paint cleaner/mild polish.



The Cruisin wax is suppossed to be applied with your hands.....not BY hand but literally with the hand. The maker claims that if you use a wax applicator then a good portion of the wax stays in the foam, where the carrier solvents seperate. If applied by hand it is 100% effective, or so goes the claim, seems to make some sense.



The smell is great and it goes on smooth and is wiped off right away. It is a paste wax and I was sent it as a sample.



To find out more go to (I think this is the website) www.victoriawax.com



The guys name is David Wyllie.....tell em Anthony sent ya

Very nice, Anthony! I agree, these Z's are a lot of bang for the buck. (That funky orange of Nissan is starting to grow on me.)

How much extra time, if any, did it take to apply wax that way? Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that the "proper" way carnauba was/is put down? Something to do with heat, friction and crystalizing etc.? I've heard something like that.



Anyway, nice "down the side".:up
 
Thanks very much Anthony! :xyxthumbs



That's how I used to apply wax for a long time. I recall having wash my hands quite a bit with Dawn and scrub my finger nails with a toothbrush when I was done. Still, the results were quite impressive!

Marty,



I only did like a quarter of the car with my bare hands.......it was just so odd to wax in that fashion after years of using an applicator. Years ago I used to use bare hands to apply leather conditioners, Omega Glaze and a wax by a company called Magnum but my hands started getting all funky (I believe it was the solvents in the wax and glaze...duh!).



I may do the whole car tomorrow by hand...or one half with an applicator and the other bare hand and see if there is a difference.



Thanks,

Anthony
