QUOTE(mamamia @ Jul 10 2008, 05:13 PM) Hey, Miami, go ahead, order that product, use it to clean/wax your whole dirty car.
Maybe, with all the promotion you've given them here, they'll be nice to you and ship the product free of charge.
I will wash my car, however (big rain in Chicagoland this evening, car-wash closed), and use it on my CLEAN car. Of course, the claim that "soap can deteriorate your Clear Coat finish" is misleading, since the soap used is special for protecting the clear coat. At least that's what I was always told...

We have known each other for three years, here and over at Edmunds where you are mamamia2 too! Could you just mail me a Can. What a kick this thread has been, although non Sonata specific. I bet that stuff will work just fine! :thumbsup:

Miami, I'll buy you a can if you PROMISE to use it on a DIRTY Sonata. Yours of course. :banana: :bwekk: Post pics when you are done. :w00t: Yea, what's up with the "non-Sonata" stuff AND it hasn't been moved to the off-topic lounge. What's wrong with this picture? :rant2: Speaking of tommer where in hades is he? I'll bet the n-laws ate him. :clap:

QUOTE Could you just mail me a Can. Hey, you've been on their site, don't be cheap, Miami, buy your own. And as Craig suggested, use it on your DIRTY car. I'm sure it will work fine. I just like to take a shower first, before applying my Deodorant and my after shave. What is it called now, MetroSex?

Here is the FINAL VERDICT on this product.... I thought I OWE it to you, guys....
So this morning, between rain storms (one last night, one arriving this afternoon....), after many months, I finally took my babe to the local car wash......
She looks beautiful in her clean white dress.
BUT owning a white car has some serious drawbacks.... When inspecting her closely, especially down there, behind the front wheels (have no mud guards, my bad, I know), I found THOUSANDS of tar spots, remnants of the massive road construction we've been "enjoying" in past months here, both on our expressway and the street next to my house.... They're going back to Asphalt again, which makes a HUGE difference in road-noise, btw, compared to the noisy concrete, driving on this Asphalt is like gliding on water....).
....So I tried the driver's side with this FW1, and the passenger side with my good old (liquid) wax.
REALLY, NO COMPARISON !!!
The wax did not remove the tar spots even though I used lots of both wax and pressure, while the FW1 was doing a really great job, almost DISSOLVING the black spots, after letting it "work" on them for a couple minutes, though many of them I had to keep rubbing with the wet cloth (or applying another coat) till they slowly vanished.
So this product works great on stubborn spots. Again, I'm not sure I'd use it for waxing my whole car, but for those "suspicious" spots ------ it's really doing great!

C'mon mama....this is "waterless" stuff. At least do one side with the FW1 WITHOUT washing (after it gets dirty) and one side after a wash with your wax and let us know. Be a brave soul for us. Miami won't be a test dummy. :blownose:
