I'm not sure which is the correct answer, but my guess its the "Beer" and "If you wait too long, because a beautiful women can't wait for some affection" and then you would need more beer.

enjoy your drive, women & beer, timreid

Gold Class - easy to get off!

If you're having trouble removing the cleaner wax,
maybe you should try Meguiar's Gold Class - I find it
far easier to remove (and apply) than any other wax
I've used. And it's amazing at what kind of gloss
and luster it produces, given its easy application and
removal. Just yesterday I gave my car the Gold Class
treatment, and the paint is thanking me:

(Please ignore the hood ornament being all askew -
I had one of those "beer breaks" you guys suggested)

Zach,

The paint looks great! I agree with you that Meguiars Gold Class is a great product that does provide an excellent shine.

BTW hope you cleaned those wheels, from that angle they look a bit dirty.

Good eye! The wheels, indeed, are quite dirty
in that picture. Rest assured that shortly after
the waxing, I took care of it. I would never leave
the driveway with dirty wheels, I swear! Here's
a pic from later that night, in a parking garage:



I hope all charges against me are hereby dropped!

There is no doubt that Meguiers gold class does a Great Job. Placo 1 swears by it, but has moved on to another brand, as I changed to Gold class.

Placo 1, if I may ask, what brand did you switch to? And what made you take that product up as opposed to the Gold Class which you had been using?

Zach,

I switched to S100 Polish and Wax for a few minor reasons. I was looking for better paint depth to enhance the Pearls in my paint. I decided to try this product based on what I had read on another forum. It did exactly what I wanted and really brought out the metalic flakes in the paint.

Another advantage is both polish and wax are even easier to apply than the Gold Class.

The downside is that it doesn't offer the same level of protection nor does it last as long as the Gold Class. Since my never sees rain it doesn't matter but the occasional bird bomb always requires immediate attention.
