Ubetit: Most of the products have 5+ years in shelf life if not more. Some of the stuff do not ever go bad. (asked the manufacturer)

My point is you'll never use it all unless you detail for a living. I've seen many fall into the same trap. I have. I have 11 different tubs of carnauba, not including my 6 frankenaubas (blends) I could wax my car once a week for 10 years and not go through that. Add the 64 ounces of Wolfgang, two bottles of Z2, bottle of Ex-P, bottle of FMJ, bottle of 4*upp, Zaino CS, Optimum Opti-seal and a few i'm forgetting and i could probably wax my neighborhood once a week for 5 years. :D




For the rest of you, I might be having a sale soon. :D

FMINUS, I see no Zaino! Punish yourself by buying some!

I just got to use all of the stuff today. I like the UDM, but I'm not really convinced of its greatness just yet. I had a few little "specks" that were not paint chips that just wouldn't polish out for the life of me. It might just be that the P21s polish isn't that great though.

The star of the day was definitely the Blackfire tire gel. That stuff rocks! It's easy to get on and it actually does its job. There just went 5 hours of my only off day during the week, but I feel really great.

Thanks Wash/Wax forum for pushing me in the right direction! :hello:

Cleansing lotion isn't a polish. Get a real polish like Menzerna PO85rd

gregnm369 07-26-2007 05:39 PM

I'll definitely do that. I'm waiting for payday tomorrow before ordering another round of stuff.

FMINUS, where did you get that cabinet?

And I'm on my way to owning alot of stuff also. I just love buying microfiber too!!

gregnm369: S100 is P21S's motorcycle line. They used to be identical so they "changed the formula". But they are still work exactly the same, they just have a slight difference in color

crazys S2K: Craftsman Professional, it retails for $300 but wait for the sale, it happens all the time. there are 2 versions, they look identical from the outside but there is another version called "locker", make sure you stay away from that since it doesnt have all the shelves.

GPWhiteS2kFTW: A couple of my buddies have Zaino, Im not too into the whole idea of multiple applications. I like to apply and reapply and find my own combos. I am into more of a wet deep look as opposed to the new warpy polymer shine.

Yep, just spend $369 (ironically) on some new gear:

UDM
6.5" pad kit
Plexus
P21s wax
P21s cleansing lotion
Tire applicators
BLACKFIRE tire gel
Glass polishing kit for DAs
Microfiber cleaner
Microfiber kit

This is probably the quickest I have dropped money like this on a car, and its all thanks to the Wash and Wax forum. I spent a good 3 to 4 months on a cold air intake for my last car and that was less than $200! I guess this is a testament to the readiness of information, expertise and enthusiasm of this forum!

Next time get S100 instead of P21s. Its the same stuff but for a lot less.

gregnm369 07-28-2007 04:56 PM

I will do that. Where do you recommend getting it from?
