actually the walmart brand. I know, its surprising.

Caution, any noobs please realize we are joking, yes BP does remove old wax off the trim. but an eraser works better.

I'm still a hardcore liquid guy... I'll be going to paste as soon as my #26 and NXT runs out.

Gonna venture into some natty's red.. along with either paste NXT or Collinite.

Thanks for the info guys i was actually wondering this myself.

Oh, and by the way.. Forget peanut butter, i actually heard if you washed your car with bleach it'll remove all the wax better!




















(along with the clearcoat, and some paint. haha)

If you really want to strip the wax without damaging anything, it's hard to beat Dawn. That's not a joke.

red was a limited edition. blue is for darker colors, white is for lighter colors.

I bought some Turtle Wax paste recently & it did a pretty good job of removing light scratches on the tailgate.

Correct. The only place I know sells it is Pak Shak. I believe they are ~$32. I used it very quickly but I have to say that it looks amazing, it lives up to the hype. Not to mention like most PB products application and removal is a breeze !!

Is the red for dark or light colors?

Also this may seem stupid but my truck is considered dark even though the gray I have is lighter than the 04+ grays?

Random but what would happen if you used the blue on a white car or vice versu?

Neither. Peter Pan from ConAgra is FAR superior to that crap you mentioned. Make sure you get the one in the red top-- its more of a cleaner wax. But if you are after the pure wax, go for the yellow top. Red top is crunchy.

Back OT-- there is no evidence to say that paste is better/worse than liquid in terms of performance. Here is the knowledge I have gained from those FAR more knowledgable than me:

Liquid is GREAT for D/A; paste is better by hand (duh)
Liquids can VERY easily be over-applied (hence the a-line stuff is liquid-- people think a thick coat is better...); paste is far easier to control
The properties of each articular formulation can make a difference in terms of ease of use/appearance/etc if it is in one form verses another...

Moral to the story: Find one you LIKE, not one that is necessarily in a different form.
