Thumbs up Some Mothers Products Reviewed

1. Mothers California Gold Synthetic Wax:
Very interesting product, I’m not a big fan of liquid waxes, this one shows great promise. It has a pleasant aroma, reminds me of the old Creamsicle pops, I enjoyed as a kid. Application is both old and new school, the new – you apply a small amount, the old – you let it dry to a haze. Removal was straight up easy. Gloss was deep, just not as deep as Souverän or Füzion, still a very nice shine. My personal opinion, you get a lot of bang for your buck in this bottle.

This example, while not a car, shows what this wax can do for you. Few people outside the hockey world realize the ice is treated with a chemical to harden it, this chemical has a profound “dulling effect” on everything it gets on.

2. Mothers Chrome Polish:
Well, I tested this on a bicycle as none of our cars has any chrome. This polish did a bang up job cleaning these tired old rims. . It has a pleasant aroma, sort of a “fresh scent.” Application was normal for a chrome polish; a little hard work brings out a nice shine. It is mildly abrasive so caution is the rule if you spill on any paint. If you’re looking for a quality chrome polish, you won’t go wrong here and can do a lot worse.

3. Mothers California Gold Water Spot Remover:
Nice product, this stuff really works! If you follow the instructions, little effort is required. It has a pleasant aroma, reminds me of a cherry cream soda. Another plus is that it doesn’t irritate your cuticles like vinegar does. If your ride is caught in the rain or you’re too slow with the drying towel (like me), this is a great product to add to your detailing kit.

4. Mothers Ultra Soft Polishing Cloth:
Nice little towel, not super plush, just perfect for removing wax/polish. I found this towel the perfect thickness for getting into those tiny cervices where body panels meet; I did use a large dulled wire tie as a tool for a more focused approach into these cervices. A few more of these are on my shopping list.

If I May...Some more "wax advice':

Men tortured with hot wax:

"Three men kidnapped during an alleged drug deal were tortured with hot wax and cigarette lighters, a court has been told.

The trio was kept under control with a bottle of acid and taken to four locations, the Melbourne Magistrates Court heard on Wednesday.

Two alleged kidnappers were in possession of meat cleavers and told their hostages: "We'll cut you up you dirty c***s, dogs", prosecutors allege.

"They were tied up and threatened with a firearm and also with a bottle of acid in order to keep them under control."

"They were also tortured - which included having hot wax poured over them and burnt with a lighter."

One of the hostages sustained a broken nose and all had cuts and abrasions, she said.
Two of them were admitted to hospital".


Just saying...



Bob

Re: Some Mothers Products Reviewed

Thanks for posting an informatve thought out thread.

I personally can't judge by the pictures, yet by going thru the process and documenting it, I will take your word.

The Waterspot remover is top quality in my opinion....as I've used it regularly since January.
