    Re: TW HS Flex wax. Thoughts.

    Similar thoughts here about the Flex Wax: decent gloss, but not user friendly. Due to a pricing discrepancy at Pep Boys, I was able to buy two bottles of the Flex Wax for like $20 when the product...
  2. Re: what is the best finishing polish "hands down" in your opinion???

    Wolfgang Fuzion

    Hi, all. I know it’s a long-shot, but does anyone have some extra Wolfgang Fuzion that they would be willing to trade for some P21s 100%?

  11. Re: What do you use to protect windshield wiper arms?

    +1

    Have been dressing my painted wipers with OOS as well, lately. 2 or 3 light coats with a few minutes b/w applications really darkens the black and provides great protection.

    Buff 'n Shine's Uro-cell pads are also closed-cell pads that come in a simple cutting (blue), polishing (orange), and finishing (red) format, and are purportedly designed to absorb less product.
