Re: Wax
I second Canadian Ice... It's comes with a lipstick type thing of wax for deep scratches. You apply the hole/scratch with the lipstick thing... then apply the liquid colour wax... and then polish it off. Worked like a charm for me...<P>I loved the way the water beads off the car after a good wax...

Re: Wax
Yeah I know Shades! I applied it on my door just to see the difference and it was incredible. I was really impressed with Colour Cure.
Re: Wax
I was seriously considering buying it when I saw it @ Crappy Tire today, but the guy said he didn't have anything that would really work, so I went home, but now I know.I am not sure if I have the money to get it now cuase I am getting another tattoo soon and its gonna cost $$$$

Re: Wax
nu-finsh it kicks the crap out of anything out there. It lasts longer to. I used that colour cure stuff and it did not compare to the Nu-finish polish.

Re: Wax
I agree nu-finish works the best. I applied it about 5 months ago and it still shines like new after a car wash. Turtle wax is ok but doesnt even compare to nu-finish.

Re: Wax
I modify my vote - nu finish is awesome! Tried it yesterday and my car is slippery to the touch. Try Colour Cure to revive your paint's colour though, if you haven't.

Re: Wax
Hmmm... Yeah I'll have to try Nu-Finish when my bottle of Colour Cure is done. Sounds like a good product...<P>Oh, by the way is Nu-Finish a cut wax?<p>[ July 12, 2002: Message edited by: Shades ]

Re: Wax
My favorite is Mother's Ultimate Wax System.<BR> <A HREF="http://www.mothers.com/UWS_Illus/UWS_Illus.jpg" TARGET=_blank>http://www.mothers.com/UWS_Illus/UWS_Illus.jpg</A> <P>It takes a long time (3 steps, cleaner, glaze, wax) but it's an unbeatable shine. Hid a lot of the paint damage on my 92' MX-3.
