Interesting read concerning waxes

Here is a link to a car finish forum. The first post is by a fellow that is in the carnuba wax business. Quite the eye opener.

So the fact my applications of Collinite #476 seem to last at least 6 months means I really should remove the car from the garage and drive it more often... :lol:

We humans are conditioned to absolutely believe that more expensive always means better. That may hold true but only to a point. The differences in quality don't necessarily match up with the differences in price. It's seem to be a nonlinear scale. Come on. Really! Is the $35,000 pot of wax THAT much better than the low rent priced Zymol vintage? I would think that the quality of the paint job and polishing one does would have a far more profound effect on shine than a protective layer of wax.

I could really stir the pot and talk about whether I think my $2,000 TAG professional 6000 watch is really that much better than my $150 pulsar titainium solar, Or my $94 Lumi Nox navy seals watch. It's not by the way. :fuelfire:
