LOL, there's a good chance you've spent more than I have. [\QUOTE]
Dunno, but it's a lot so far. This is just the stuff in my basement. Doesn't include tools, polisher, and another nuba I have on order.
Are your Menzerna polishes in the jug style containers? Weird, my FK425 came in like a milk style container. I see you snuck some stuff if on me without telling me. If you are using Duragloss for the wheels I think you were supposed to use Total Performance Polish and not the Marine Polish. That might be why you like PB wheel sealant better. What's your opinion on Aquawax against FK? Good to see you got a wool pad, I have 4 and I'm trying to figure out how effective they are on a PC.
I just like the PB Sealant better since it repels brake dust better. The DG 501 just has more cleaners in it. The local Carquest didn't have 105. I may have them order me a bottle of it. I do have 111 that's not in the picture too.
I was wondering about wool pads on a RO too. My brother in law was recently fired from his mechanic's job, and had a rotary buffer from there that he "borrowed." Now he's keeping it. I asked him to check what model/brand it was. He called me up and said "It's a Makita 9-twenty two- 7 C". So, guess who now has a rotary? :shifty:
Yeah, the 16 oz Menz polishes have always come in those jug style containers I think. I have IP, PO106FF, and FP. I just ordered a Menz Powergloss 32 oz. to get the free Top Inspection, a swissvax leather brush, and 2 of the European Red CCS Applicators. Someone needs to take my credit card away!
The nuba I have on order is Guruwax. I got him to send me a tub at a very reduced price for "testing" hehe...

Who's wax is it?
Remember that porsche detail on DB, where the member (danponjican) didn't list the LSP? It's that one. I see he's bbeen kicked off other forums for promoting his products without paying the vendor membership, so I can't find a whole lot of information.
He said he wanted to get as close to Swissvax Mystery as he could.

The tub looks pretty similar to one of the Rubbish Boy's waxes. Also, their performance polishes look to be rebranded PB or CG, which are both rebranded of Warner Chemicals. Could be any of those. Cheap too, 10 bucks for 16oz.
I thought the same thing when I saw the polishes. Even the same coloring as the PB.
but RB's OE is Ben's home made brew. So I think the wax is probably something different than a relabel. Hopefully, anyways.
Oh, and just got the UPS package. Want me to send the box back so you can re-use it ? :lol:

Lets see some pictures of clean LSs already
:lol: the next day where it isn't 10 below or colder, I'll be out washing her up nice.
Plus, I've been itching to get the LS cleaned up with a fresh coat of OE so I can take some pics with my new (new to me) Canon Rebel XT.

Haha, I'll probably have to live in it after those shipping charges. Did you see the stuff inside yet?
Yep. That's a LOT of BWW... And pretty cool organizer! I'll have to see if a spray bottle will fit in each of the 4 compartments. Thanks for the extras!
Have you ever used that experiment bottle yet? Or you trying to get me to be the guinea pig?
I use it for a place to put the sponge and all that stuff so it doesn't touch the ground. No problem. See if you can fit the handle of the Swissvax brush in the holes. And yes your the Guinea pig. It's 33% of each product in there.

so u know him eh?? ive wanted to tackle the buff polish on my car but have zero XP with it so i have been hesitant to try, also its hard to find a guy that you can trust will do a good job. I want my ls to look perfect, better than petes lol. my car is not bad it just has some swirls but i want a deep glossy shine that will make people jealous
He's the guy to call then. It will take some time to get complete swirl removal though.
Here's his truck

Then Justin's your guy
Remember that you decide the level of correction. Depending on the depth of the scratches, he may have to remove a lot of clearcoat to get them all out. I prefer just removing swirls, and living with the rids, since I'll get more overall correction times out of it.
Of course, I did just purchase some 1500 and 2000 grit wet sanding paper, so watch out...

after lookin at those pics im wondering if i can modify that rearview camera setup to work on the ls. Also what do u mean take a while to remove the swirls??? like hours or multiple apps? they are not real bad but i dont like seeing them
Hours. I took about 15 hours of just paint correction on my sister's black chev Blazer ZR2 for a wedding present for her. That specific detail was the one that made me want to step up to a rotary.
A 2 step polish/detail takes me all day (sun up to sun down). If doing the interior too, it may even take longer. Maybe the level of swirls you have can be taken out in 1 step. Polishing is not easy by any means. But a good wax won't do jack if it isn't over the top of a properly prepped surface.

what is the average price for something like this, keep in mind its not that bad about a 3.5 out of 10 but mostly on hood and trunk lid
