I am going to buy a little wine refrigerator for my garage at costco. It sucks walking back and forth from my wine room every time I need wax.

Very nice man!! I have yet to drop that much for a wax! I bought 8 tins of #16 off various members of autopia, but nothing that expensive!!! Very nice!

This is just for your car only right??

8 tins of #16? Doesn't a tin of that stuff last forever? I think you'd be better off spending that money and diversifying your collection.


Sheer nice pick up, although I think I'd rather put the 250 towards something that is going to make much more of a difference in my work, like a quality commercial steamer.

Well I found a product I liked ALOT! I tried Natty blue/red, #21, #26, p21, and collinite #476. (Trust me my collection is very diversified) I'll post a pic of my supply shelf as it sits, tomorrow!

I personally use 50/50 and 53 on my own car! (will apply it if the customer ask though)

But for all the customers that get full details they are going to get #16!! Since it is no longer in production I really thought I should stock up!! I was buying them for about $20 a tin so not really that big of a deal. ($160 for a shit load of wax, comparatively to one SUPER nice paste )

But as for the 250 you spent on this! Sometimes you just need to splurge and get something you want!! Trust me man, I would love to be comfortable buying some swissvax, but I need a a bunch more details to justify it; but you have a crazy amount of business where I am about a car a week....!!

Congrats again Buddy!!

You pro's are killing me, I can't keep up. Although I have learned a tremendous amount about detailing from you guys, so I will probably splurge and spend $$$ on some good wax, just haven't decided on what yet.

Since these waxes cost a little fortune, how important is it to store this wax in a refrigerator ?? Seems like you're all doing it.
Should we all be doing this to preserve it ??
