I am pretty impressed with the results here. SOme kind of pink stuff that they were giving demos of at the show. Not bad results really.

Man that's increditable. What is it called and is it actually a wax protectant?

I'll go check later. I have some work to do and cannot go down to the garage at the moment. It is a polish and carnabua wasx as well. It is very easy to use. Wipe it on and wipe it right off before it sets up. It only took about 45 minutes, and I was impressed that it left hardly any of that petroleum film after wiping it off.

Blk on Blk - I own a black one too and am in a constant pursuit of effective, but easy to use products for black. Your car looks great. You can't post pictures like that and not tell us what it is. Come on, share man!!! Thanks.

It is called Liquid Lustre. I bought it from one of those displays today at the Houston car show. I was a bit skeptical really, but I watched the demo a few times and it presented some magnificant results. Of course these things always do when at the demos, but it seems to work very well in a live trial situation. An application should last 6 months. We'll see how it works long term, but intial reation is it is pretty danged impressive.

Wow - looks very much like you have a "black chrome mirror" car. Very impressive. Wonder how long time that lasts in rain and the usual dirt that comes from driving

Yep. That's it. They were selling it 2 bottles for $21 at the car show. I think it is a bit more on line.

their website says that they have been making this product in some form or another since the 1920's. I guess they adapt it as technology moves ahead. Seems like whatever formula they have now works pretty darn well.
