Default I would love to see pics of the shine. I'm always looking for that extra shine myself ;)

In the easiest possible way. I'm on 25 and lazy already

Default Are you talking about the stuff that Car Brite makes?

I've heard of Butter Wax (brand name), but have stayed away from it because I understand it's silicone-based. Your story is interesting...but I'm still concerned about using a silicone-based product on my paint. Do you have any such concerns? And, why do you think it has such a short life once applied? You said the older you get the lazier you get, but using a wax that needs to be reapplied <i>every two weeks</i> is hardly my idea of "low effort" maintenance! I think that alone will keep me away from it, but I'm still interested to hear more. Thanks for the info.<ul><li><a href="http://www.carbrite.com/a007.htm">Car Brite's Butter Wax</a></li></ul>

I would disagree, I have been using their products for years and for the money they have the best thing going. You can spend 3 times as much and get a better product but your reach a point of diminishing returns. By the way, I am a professional detailer and have been for 8 years so I have used allot of products.

Default I think for most people 90% of any 1 detailing companies products are useless

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/15888/detailproducts.jpg"></center><p>You have to develop a system that works for you. My system uses Meguire's #3, #7, #9 and #26 wax that's it. I might switch out wax but not my main compounds, glazes and polishes.
