Auto show wax

[MikeN]

I went to the Philly auto show and they were showcasing a wax by a company called IBIZ. Have any of you had any experience with it and if so what do you think?

If it works and you're happy with it then use it often....Who said that?

[MikeN]

So far I haven't had any problems with it. Goes on and comes off easy and offers good protection with a nice shine. Just want to make sure I'm not getting ripped off.

I'll defer to AGO forum member Bill1234 as the man to see about all things IBIZ.
Here are a few threads where he has IBIZ-posted:

If it does all that, how could you be getting ripped off?

[Bill1234]

As you see, FUN mentioned me. It produces a nice shine and smells like banana. The waterless wash is also good as It can remove spray paint if accidents happen. The guy I think you saw is in this video

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=52akC5nO6Yw]IBIZ Auto Care Product Demo - YouTube[/video]

I would start with the waterless and then go to the wax so that they bond together. They do also sell tire shine, leather and upholstery protect and a metal polish

So that guy went into a museum and sprayed paint on one of the cars in the collection? And then slid some quarters off the hood to chip the fender? I guess I should be glad he didn't light it on fire like that English guy...but it was ok, he was English.

[Bill1234]

The museum in pa that he was at sells the wax also as for some reason the wax is endorsed by the American museum of antique cars and the corvette club of America

Bill I'll definitely be reading up on some of your previous posts but definitely feel better about what I have been using.

Thank you everyone for your help

Now I'm confused. The product in the video, is it a cleaner wax in a spray bottle? It looks too thick to be a waterless wash and wax.

Looks like autogeek will be going out of business along with meguiars etc etc...

To resurrect a somewhat 'dead' thread:

Ibiz, apparently, has struck a deal with Sams' club. I saw a demo of the product today at the store. The intro deal, is three 32 oz products for $49.99 - was, wash, and the wash/wax spray.

Now, regardless of product performance, usefullness, etc - i can't speak to any of these things - the kid that was demonstrating the product cracked me up.

According to the demo, and the video above, you spray it on, spread it with the applicator, and then wipe off. Simple, right?

A red test panel was set up in the store, and it was hammered - dirt, dust, grime, spray paint, whathaveyou.

The vendor proceeds to spray the wash/wax on the panel, spread it around lightly with the applicator, and then goes to town on the panel with the same grungy, grimey towel that he's been using all day - caked with dirt, grime, spraypaint, and spent product. He's really wailing on this panel with all his weight and strength to get the spraypaint removed from the panel.

The 'polishing' worked for his demo process - the panel was red and shiney. But as I adjusted my angle to see the test spot in the halogens better I could see the damage was done - swirls, finger marks, gouges - you name it. Shiney, yes. wrecked, yes.


Again, this may be just this particular vendor and not the product.
