They should call it "divorce wax" because there isn't any way that your wife is going to believe that you spent $1,500 on "wax for your car". :dance:

Good luck, once they see the year of the Dangermobile they won't ship it, vehicle can't be more than three years old. It's like that Columbia house with the fine print stuff...

a professional detailer could make an identical car look 99.9% as good using a $30 wax. Only an extremely well-trained eye could pick the $30 from $1,500 wax.
The bling comes from the preparation before the wax goes on.

+1! Car looks 95% and then the final layer (not filler) give the reflectivity.

The "premium" detailing products industry is largely marketing bull****************.
The 'budget' detailing products you see in most auto stores are basically the same product but they'll just give you a less concentrated product so that you have to use more of it (and buy more later). That dilution of the basic ingredients also means you have to put in more elbow grease but you'll still achieve 99.9% of the same result. There's also the idiot factor. Too many guys can not be trusted with a concentrated paint product.....which said ding bat will use to wax his tires with.
Meanwhile the "premium" detailing products go the opposite way and sell you 16 step kits when all you nedd is two or three.

I bet Danger is using the WAX for a totally different purpose (hair style maybe?!) and hiding the pot behind the water heater? Com'on 1500 invest got to be for something else than the water tank and car alone
