Well Simoniz is a treatment that new car dealers offer to protect the new cars paint. Don't see why it would be any different then the stuff they offer this is just the DIY version.

I'm atualy considering it for my new G8 and the wifes Saturn Aura.

yea i know some people who swear by zaino, but im sticking to turbo wax. Looking through the gallery theres guys using 5 or more coats of the stuff to get the shine they want, and it doesnt look any deeper of a shine then my one coat of turbo wax.

Open Challenge, your expensive brand against my Turbo Wax Car Wax with Polycharger, simple and fair, wash with your brand of shampoo as long as is PH 7, Dry, ONE coat of our product and ONE coat of your Expensive product heck divide the hood in 4 if you want, and bring 3 more products, lets have some fun and see who’s product will hold longer, ONE coat.

Juan,

i fully support your products...and if you would like i would do that comparison for you...i recommend your products first because of the price and ease of use...as well as durability...its not that i meant it was better....and i also feel that alot of these guys put on 5 or so coats purely placebo effect...as you really need to wait a few hours between coats and honestly anything above 2 coats is wasting wax...i use your guys products almost non-stop...i really like them for customer cars because they give a very good shine and are easy on me too...i never meant for my post to come off as challenging your car wax, as i have used your old stuff and im sure your new stuff is even better...

I know you support our products, I offered the challenge because I know you can do the test and be honest and neutral, If I do the test like I have done many times it doesn’t have any weight as people immediately assume that we are “cheating somehow”

So please don’t get me wrong is all good.

Billy Mays now has a reality show it's called "Pitch Man" It's interesting how they make these commercials but more interesting how people will try to make money with stuff that will never work.
