So I've just tested my newest batch and I'm more than happy with it. 70ish% of the wax content is carnauba.

Contains no turps or paintstrippery solvents

Applys really smooth and buffs off very well even if its been left on for a while

Does it smell nice

  • Author

Cherry and almond

Scent is pretty much whatever I fancy

Someone once mentioned that you could break the market if you could make it smell like fried bacon but the batch I made with bacon fat really didnt work! I've got bacon scented oil on order so I'll have to see how that goes.

If it smelt like bacon id just end up eating it

I guess that would give me a good gauge as to its toxicity.. I may hold you to that!

I think I'm at a point where id like to send out some small samples. I'm going to buy some more sample pots on payday (bad weather for car cleaning but what the hell)

Well i'm happy to test and/or buy at any point, car needs a good wax.

Put my order in for highest grade t1 carnauba last night! And I've been thinking about names

My little 50ml pots arrived and they look good in gloss black especially with the green wax in them (I'll put up some pics when I can get one to fit)

Ok

Looks Brilliant, Not that experienced in the car cleaning, how much wax would you need to do a car?

  • Author

Not much at all! 30ml would do it more than once. And a clay bar is a good investment too

Only one spelling mistake in a 2am stumble home I atleast am impressed!

Was having a chat yesterday with the manager in a car/pushbike shop in my town that happen to stock a pretty good range of detailing products he wants to try out my wax!

Ooooo thats shiny! Whats your routine for cleaning?

My car is barely worth the effort! I need to think about a respray

I guess so if theres enough interest! Id like to test it more first

If you would do a tiny sample, i'm talking tiny enough to do one panel lol. It would be good to try it on different paint colours and qualities and if you have good reviews from other "unbiased" forum users it would be good, it may make them want to buy more... Sorry if It sounds like i'm telling you what to do, business studies has that effect on people! :)

Well as i said before, i'm happy to support a forums member and buy some.

Hell yeah!
