First wax you ever used?

I have video of me when I was 12 years old or so, washing my dads Volvo estate. What did I use for drying it off? A squeegy! NICE WORK!!!

 

Kit! Then TW, then Cherry wax(which I think is great!) then NB, and that's the rrrrrrest of the story...

 

I think kit was the best selling wax in PR for the longest time. BTW ... I lived in PR when I was a kid.

 

Now it's Formula1. What part of PR you lived at?

 

Blue Coral wax in a blue aluminum tub, followed by zymol cleaner wax which I thought was the shit back in the day :lol:

 

I lived in San Juan a long time ago. My mom still lives there and some family members. I haven't visited the island in forever though. I think the last time I went I saw "doctor mecanico" stuff everywhere. I think even daddy yankee got some car wash/wax stuff ... lol.

 

Doctor mecanico is a good APC, since it's not acidic. I buy it by the bucket! I rarely use something else on wheels and wheelwells. And Daddy Yankee is the face of "crystal" which is the immediate competitor of Doctor Mecanico. I don't buy just to not see his face

 

turtle wax, the one that you could buy the wax the same color as the your car.

 

The one with the color-matching lipstick?? that's a classic ... lol

 

LOL ... yeah I remember I went to a Western Auto and saw all that stuff.

 

bigfoot, how about a trade? i'll giveyou some pads and polish for some medalla and lobster mofongo. lol mofongo just isn't the same here stateside as it is on the island.

 

yup thats the one with the lipstick for rock chips. that stuff actually worked ok for filling in the rock chips.

 

It brought back old memories ... i used to use that stuff all the time. And yes, it actually worked well for hiding scratches and chips even though it didn't last long.

 

Excalibur Concours Wax Carnuba (by Turtle wax) Hard to put on even harder to remove.

 

I can get you the medalla no problem! The mofongo... hmmmm... oh, what the heck! PM me if you are serious.

 

First one I can remember using is Meguiar's #26. I don't remember who it was, but somebody clued me in that Meguiar's was a whole lot better than NuFinish, Turtle Wax, and all the other usual suspects. A couple cars after #26, I graduated to Zymol Carbon, which I used and liked for a long time.

 

i think mine was EO Nano Wax I used it for a cheapo customer who didnt want to pay a little extra for Dodo Juice Blue Velvet i think it was a good wax overall. car felt really sick afterwards

 

Nu Finish Liquid.

 

my first was trade secret. Great wax, too bad its hard to find these days. I think i only know of one online store that sells it now

 

Malco Flash Cherry Wax
