    Update on homebrew..

    Hey fellas,

    New guy here. Posted on the intro forums about my homebrew few days ago.
    I decided to up the nuba content a bit and added a bit more of the natural solvents. Dropped the fragrance as it was giving me a headache. The wax is now 100% natural. It is coming out the way I wanted it to-somewhat hard so its applied evenly and thinly, with a nice clarity to it. It also hazes fairly quick with no streaking.
    So far im happy with the brew. Been working long hours and weather hasn't been the greatest so I haven't been able to test it on my car until this weekend. I did give a sample to one of my G8 buddies who will test it also. Im also down to send samples for feedback to any of you guys if interested.
    Will update with pics of the wax on my car, in the meantime here are some pics of the finished(hopefully)recipe:

    Re: Update on homebrew..

    Ok guys, so I sent a sample to member fullattn2detail, who happened to be a fellow G8 owner on my FB page. Anyhow, I finally got to apply the wax to my car today. Keep in mind my car has close to 50k of uncorrected paint. Took these with an iphone too. Will get better pics with a better camera. Here are the results

    Congrats on your home brew. Is this 100% natural meaning it uses no solvents?

    Thank you! It does use a solvents, but they are natural. Nothing derived from petroleum.

    Do you live on Long Island? Looks like the chipotle on motor parkway.

    Anyway that g8 looks good. Wouldn't mind testing your wax out.
