    I like Diamond Luster, getting hard to find. I noticed Jax Wax is selling a wax that looks and smells like Diamond Luster they call is Cherry Wax. I asked the guy selling it if it was Diamond Luster he said its basically the same stuff. I think these companys are buying in bulk and putting their name on the product. Like oil, gas and antifreeze, only a few makers but tons of sellers.

    Wax is old school though........
     
  4. Collinite makes a good, long lasting wax. No. 476 Super Doublecoat Paste Wax rivals sealants in durability.

    Wow, that brings back memorys :D. All the rage in the 70's. Had a can I just finished up a couple of years ago, religated to the lawn tractor annual shine up.

    Nowadays, I just use what's on the shelf. NuFinish for momma's DD, Moose hand glaze for the sickle, son uses Meguires Tech 2.0 on his truck (black), gotta say it does a look good.

    What is RAT WAX? Sounds like a product that after application causes dents and rust in all panels and the paint to deteriorate to a dull crusty finish. Only one application required.

    My dad got turned on to astro shield by a friend of his who owns a restoration shop. I was pleased about how easy it goes on and buffs off. I had a can and it froze in the wyoming winter and now I cant find any around here. Meguiars has always given me good results.

    Rat wax is for flat colors like "flat black" It does not turn white when it drys.

    I love HAMB and the word Rat, its kinda like Jolapy to the adults in the 50's Bad News

    X2 , their entire product line is all quality and very user friendly . I had a guy detail my truck last year using their system , and was very impressed . While he was there , he let me try their products on my roadster and was surprised at how easy it was to use and the end result was excellant . The wax is a little spendy but it's extremely easy to use and seems to last for quite a while .

    Not sure what Pilar uses. It's a hard wax and hurts significantly less than the regular strips. She's the best, especially down there.

      In the past, I used a product called Buffalo Milk it will give a great shine. The problem with products like Buffalo Milk, Wizards you have to send for them. I can pick up a great producst from Meguires at the parts store, drug store, grocery store, Wal-Mart, K-Mart the stuff is everywhere.
      I'll stay with Meguires, two blocks away is the drug store. :D

    CRUISER :cool:

    Back in the day, late '60s early 70's I used Blue Coral. That was the best. Even was in Jan and Dean's lyrics of "Drag City" Blue Coral wax job sure looks pretty. Everyone *****ed about how hard it was to remove but I found the secret. Cornstarch on the removal cloth took it off in a snap. After you sealed it everything would slide off the finish even your honeys ****.. I wish I could still get some.

    Awwww, c'mon Rex, if it was really 100% carnuba wax, it would be like waxing your car with a brick! Even the highest "solids" wax is only about 20% wax, and the rest is solvents, fragrance, and oils.
    But Harley wax is good! I used to like the old "Cl***ic Car Wax" in the black cans as well.
