    We Got Action!!!!

    This is probably one of my most favorite things to see when driving. I live in a townhouse that doesn't have a garage so my car sits outside in the elements. Well...any normal person hates the rain...and some of us detailers have a love/hate relationship with mother nature when she decides to dump on us. But I absolutely LOVE coming outside to my car covered with water beads on it. I take the turns out of my neighborhood very slowly so that it doesn't disturb the beads. Then when I drive down the straight away, I love seeing this....it's like a wave coming to the shore (yeah I know...CORNBALL!)

    I have only compared this spray wax to Optimum Car Wax and I gotta say that I like this stuff better, mainly for the application of it. It flashes very fast and doesn't leave any high spots. OCW edges out XMT 360 in looks by just alittle bit, but overall I am a big XMT 360 Spray Wax fan! Nick...I haven't placed my order yet but please hang on to two bottles from the BOGO. I'll more than likely be placing the order this weekend, if not Monday.

    I do that all the time!!! Nice video Alex!!

    If my car had been washed recently before the rain, I use a leaf blower or the MB to dry off the car. Leaves the car looking like it's been washed.

    Heck no you're not the only one that does this!! I recall a day when I first tried out XMT 180. It was a really good shower one day but it stopped raining quite a while before I got off work. When I came out of the office, every car in the parking lot was already completely dry…except mine. Completely covered in these awesome beads.

    alko, this is a little tough for me to admit, especially since I am a XMT fan, but you should try out Mothers Spray Wax. There's an extreeeeeeeemly slight difference in appearance (with the edge going to the XMT), but I can see a difference with the Mothers that will last over several washes. My experience with the 360 spray wax is it's gone after a wash!

    Re: We Got Action!!!!

    I had a video up but asked to have it taken down because the way the way the video embeds from photobucket it allowed access to my entire album. Granted nothing is in there except car detailing products and detailing pics, but I didn't want to take the chance, especially since there is a now banned forum member that was trying to hack into my ag account.

    Glaxay, I'd have to look into Mother's Spray Wax, but I'm totally biased with XMT 360 Spray Wax. I'm pissed that I missed it on BOGO two weeks ago. But I still have a full bottle left. I've been able to get away with washing the car twice before I notice a real significance in the durability. But since I apply it after every wash (overkill, yes I know), I enjoy the durability, as well as looks, all the time

    Alko there should be a button at the top of your album that selects who gets to see it (public or private) just select what you want and you should be good to not have it view publicly
