    I'm lucky if I go three days without washing mine.... Ok, so I'm a little obsessed still.

    I stumbled upon this thread while perusing the forums this morning & thought this stuff might be worth a try.
    Then, while browsing around Harbor Freight this afternoon, I found the 845 insulator wax (liquid), & 476S Super Doublecoat Wax (paste) on the shelf for about $13.75 ea.

    So, if you've ever wanted to try this stuff, & have a Harbor Freight in your area...

    If I can muster up some ambition this afternoon, I might give Suzy a bath & buff & let you know how it went...

    Man!, it's kinda hot & sticky out there...I'd better re-hydrate with some pomagranate flavored wodka & mango mystery juice......

    I think you're right Anita, the 845 insulator wax goes on fast, easy, & smoove...also easy to buff off. Also, it's more "cladding friendly".
    Leaves a nice shine & smooth to the touch finish...

    The 476S paste, as would be expected, requires more elbow grease to apply & buff off...
    I couldn't tell any difference in appearance or smoothness to the touch.

    Now we'll see which lasts longer, I did the left side with...












    with...ummmmmm.....oh crap, maybe next time.

    Harbor freight huh... I think I have one of those near by... And if I dont, I know there's one in Camarillo. I'll have to go invest in some of this wax.

    BTW... This post is pretty old. LOL

    If it's very far away, you should call first.
    I've found that the product selection from store to store, can vary significantly.
