Hey Salsa do you use MER because it's easy to spell. Seriously though to get the full effect from WW wax takes a lot of time and effort but I think it's worth it. Once the car has been waxed a few times you can really see the difference. It also becomes much easier to wash as flies etc literally just wash away with a hosepipe.

Anyway everyone's entitled to their own opinion it's just that some are more right than others.

Cheers

i think your right, if you have more money than sence to spend on a polish that shines no differant to other cheaper polishes you need your ed testin'!
i went and saw demo of ww (had front wing done on my car) and think it looks no better than my MER at 1/6 of the cost.
KevinW car looks A1 carnt see any differance, and he uses MER!
think the polish MTR, will bring up it even better. and not costing the earth!!!!!!!

i find i get that 2:30 am type anything 4 the easiest dyslexia!!!! lol

but, how many times do you need to wax a week to see a result with ww? i used my mer 4 the donno day 5th march, not had time to re-do yet, and after a wash and leather down my car still looks pretty good. i do need to wax soon though, summers here, drivin' cruisin' showin', need to look goooood! lol

i will try some of that honey wax MTR,
r u an agent 4 the stuff? LOL

Thanks for the info MTR!

Whilst I want something decent to make the motor sparkle, WW prices are just stupid. This stuff sounds pretty good though. Know of any suppliers?

If the stuff was repackaged, we could market it as "Impreza Wax", making a tasty 900% profit. Now there's an idea . . .

Hi MTR
So where can we get honeywax from?

This seems a little worrying considering I have parted with 75 beer sheets!!! for WW products!! Doh! http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/frown.gif http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif

Just for your information about Mer; it isn't anything like ww and certainly not as good. I know , I used Mer for 6 years and it doesnt come close to the ease of use and protection ww gives.
As for the price, yes it is expensive looking at the comparison but it lasts a lot longer so it works out near enought the same in the long run so no I dont need my head testing http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif
Bottom line is, use what you're happy with.

MTR,
I'm going to give that a go. Did you find it left any residue? Have you got any tips?

If you read the reply, I was commenting on Salsa- Kings reply about Mer not starting a wax war http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif
Great if you can get this wax cheaper! just at the time WW was the only place I found to get this stuff and I, probably like others dont feel I've been ripped off as My 'little tub' will last me ages
Cheers

MTR

Thanks for your useful information. I'm pleased that you have seen fit to publish this information.

Gunna give it a try.

SJD

Popped down to GRP lunchtime today, and got hold of a tin of Honeywax - £11.87.

Tried it out on the missus' Corsa http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif tonight . . . and I gotta say - absolutely brilliant! I waxed half the bonnet and half the boot leaving the other half as a comparison (true scientific research, obviously!). Its a piece of cake to apply, a small smear covers a large area, and you dont get any real crud when buffing. The effect is superb though - a real mirror shine.

Gonna try it on my other car on the weekend (a blue mica), and if looks good, will then try the scoob.

Andrew

Andrew,
Please let us know the results.
I guess for a more reliable assesment we should wait a few months and see what the long-term consequences are http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif

MTR, got some and dolloped it on my motor. Makes driving in the rain a pleasure watching clear beads of water leaping overboard!! The car shines like an M&M!! Cheers mate.

Even more impressively, I used the remains of the pre wax paint cleanse stuff Mark sent me as a sample on a friends K reg Mini (just the bootlid as a test) where the paint had gone matt and looked porous. What a difference a clean makes!!!

Dolloped on some carnauba and the difference was incredible, the rest of the car looks so shabby. I have another couple of people who want to give it a go too.

I'm happy with the Carnauba "Honey Wax" I've got but I will certainly be buying (and recommending) Mark's pre cleanse and probably his wheel and glass stuff too on Sunday.

I'd be very worried about any long term effects of this. If you look on the web site they say

"Compounded with the purest grade carnauba wax, plus special binders and spreading agents"

So what are the special binders going to do to your car, seeing as they are designed purely for a a mold release agent!

Put it another way, if someone asked you would you use a mold release agent on your car, I doubt many of you would!

cheers,

greg

hi,

Just ordered 2 jars of the stuff - should arrive in two weeks.

I always thought the 'other' wax stuff was far too expensive....

thanks for the tips,

marcus

MTR,

thank you for the money saving information. I bet there are a good few people out there now who feel as though they have been ripped off. If the stuff is identical, which it seems to be, then the Wax Wizard isn't going to be too impressed with you for posting. Still thanks again for the information. Mine will be on order very soon.

Gaz,

I doubt very much that ANYONE feels they have been ripped off by buying WW products. How can they be when they get a quality product, superb customer service and cost effectiveness?

Anyway, hope the stuff works for you.

Best regards,

Jon.

I'm beginning to see a pattern here...

1. Somebody "discovers" a really cool product that does something really impressive for their car.
2. A few more people admit to using this new wonder-product.
3. The manufacturer/supplier steps up and explains how said product works.
4. Loads of people buy the product & rave about it.
5. Some dissenters appear claiming that a cheaper rival product is just as good and that everyone is mad to use the original product.
6. Lots of arguments ensue.
7. Someone blows their car up and blames said product.
8. Manufacturer disappears from the BBS.

I think we're up to No 6. with Wax Wizard! http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif

As a non-user of any wax products, I am continually amazed at the amount of time Mark takes to explain his products, not to mention the length of his replies! (I've always wondered why waxes make plastic trims go white and now I know!)

One day, I will tire of sandblasting the flies off my car. Chances are, I'll buy something from the Wax Wizard.

Oh no! My neighbour's engine has blown on his MY97.

Hopefully Robinsons (our mutual dealership) will not be aware I have waxed my car nearby.

Are we at No 7 now?

Even if we are I hope we don't get to No 8! Please don't disappear Mark all your advice is much appreciated. I will be a customer on Sunday, see you (or your oppo) there.

BTW read this parallel thread.

MTR - thanks for the advice - interesting to know

Saying that, I will stick to WW stuff....mainly because 1) Its designed for the purpose and 2) It comes with full, timely and friendly technical support.

Mark has put in a lot of time and effort to selel here, and deserves the success as much for his attitude and customer care as for the fact that the products are very truly excellent.

There's all sorts of things one can do cheaper - such as servicing. I have little doubt that Bob down the road could do as good a job servicing my Esprit as Lotus - and for about a third the price - but in the long run I pay the extra for peace of mind, long term value and 'guaranteed' results. Thats what I have with the WW stuff, so thats where I'll stay I think...!

cheers
Night
