Anyone ever tried this stuff?

Anyone ever tried this stuff?

It's been talked about a few times on firehawk.org. Does anyone have any pictures of the results of using it?

I have used that before on my truck and didn't like it one bit. It is very easy to put on and take off and shines up pretty nice, but it doesn't last long. On plastic it leaves this greasy crap behind which naturally attracts dust and dirt. when you are taking the wax off, it streaks a bit if there is too much applied. I got my bottle for free, used it once and it is still sitting in my garage. Personally I stick with megs or liquid glass. I have used the LG and loved it, but it doesn't hide the imperfections in the paint as well as a wax that has fillers.

:stupid:

I don't like anything from that line. Tried that stuff...it sucked. Tried the liquid clay bar...yup, still sucked. Tried the interior gel...nice scent to it, but still sucks.

Mothers, Megs, and Lexol. That's all I use now.

Cool. I'll stick to the LG for the once a year that our cars see a coat of wax.

the paste is pretty good. i use it on black things, mostly things like trim and stuff. It goes on clear so it's kinda hard to tell where you've waxed and where you haven't on brighter colors, but there's no white residue so you can use it on practically anything. I like it, but then again, i haven't used meg's yet. so i couldn't compare the two.

i used the stuff once.......what a waste of money!!

the only thing i liked about the stuff is that it doesn't leave the white flakey residue when you buff it out.
