    I've had mine since August I believe and waxed it 3 x's so far not to mention the spray it gets after every wash. No clay bar, sealants or any of that stuff, we were discussing that the otheer day at work. Just a good car wash soap, a cleaner wax every 3-4 months and it's good

    It's just unnerving how all this stuff that's supposed to help us through our daily lives is so aggravating. I keep leaning further and further toward life in a cave. But since deer are in short supply and bear are further north, I'd have to use burro hides for clothing and window shades...not sure how burro tastes.

    But did you wipe your windows down with rubbing alcohol then followed by quality glass cleaner . Next use a claybar for the outside of the windshield followed by rubbing alcohol then glass cleaner ??

    You want a deep glossy shine then that price is well worth the investment !!

    Yea....
    Not sure about the price tag though.
    FOR ME..wax is wax... the properties make it easier to spread and take off.
    UV protrction etc.
    Turtle wax is like iron to spread and take off imo. Lots of elbow grease. Glad I ran out. Lol

    For what? wash the windows when you wash the truck then dry them. Sometimes I get spots so I tried this and they're like new again. No need for all that other stuff

    Got the old axle out with a little tactical application of force in the right spots.

    Came back home and cleared the 3 inches of snow off the driveway and deck.

    Chicken quesadillas for lunch ... starting to feel like nap time. :yawn:

    Attaboy! :)

    I have a good one and I have to use them at work from time to time. I don't care for them if I don't absolutely need to use one. They have their place Sometimes I'll have to cut and rub a whole vehicle. If your not careful they can bite you in the ass and cause repairs hence the DIY paint repair I did a while ago.

    You must have city water or hard water or something. I try to wash in the shade and towel dry as soon as I'm done. I only have an issue if the sun is hot and beating down on it with the glass. To each their own I tend to use the KISS method with things. Someday I'll take the time to learn about all this paint and detailing stuff
