Mike, another great Thursday night. Especially liked the tip ref cleaning and protecting the windshield of your car. See you next time. Den

That Plymouth is a beautiful car and it sure came out nice!

Mike how did you like the Vanilla Ice? When I first used it, the next day I opened the garage door and could still smell that sweet lemony vanilla aroma throughout the garage. I stuck the used foam applicators under the trucks seat... best car freshener I've never bought :laughing:

Great wax I love it!

Great wax I love it!

As far as paste waxes go I like this wax. The instructions state to wipe it off in the first 2-3 minutes before it dries. We shot a video for this wax last night and for the video I wanted to wait till the entire car was coated and then as a team, remove it.

This means the wax was on the paint in more of the 10 minute range and by then, in our studio climate, the wax had set-up pretty hard, like a true "Hard Wax" or Heavy Molecule Wax". So it took a little more wiping to remove it.

So for everyone that will read this into the future, I'd highly recommend applying and then removing a body panel at a time until you get a feel for how thin to apply this wax, (thin coats), and a feel for the working time you have with it in your specific shop climate.


I give it two thumbs up and and I think it smells really good, reminds of me freshly baked sugar cookies coming out of the oven.

Beautiful outcome. That is one bad $&) looking ride. From the wheels to the wet dripping paint. Excellent results achived as usually. Did Carlos light up the wheels before he left?

Yes he did! I didn't get to see it but I heard it.

hahaha great, it dose have that oily consistency that absorbs into your hands. It makes spreading it out very easy. Did y'all knock the wax out of it's pot and machine wax? I was going to try this but after getting it out it felt so slippery in my hands, I figured I better put it back before mr butterfingers drops it on the floor lol.

We all used micro-fiber gloves.I distributed the wax for the DA`s with the wax sitting on the lid when done.Each time a machine needed wax a simple test on the windshield to determine if the pad was dry.:buffing:

Great job on this Classic mate !

Please explain

[Mike Phillips]

Please explain

As you work around the car spreading the wax over the paint, to test and see if you're getting low on wax simply turn the polisher off and dab the face of your waxing pad on any of the glass windows on the car you're waxing and an impression of wax will be left on the glass. You can use how much or how little wax you see on the glass as an indicator as to how much wax is left on the pad.

This is more helpful when machine waxing light cars versus dark colored cars.

We shot a video of this technique and as Yancy works through his list of videos to edit we'll get this posted when it's ready.
