Hi Ray,
I know what you mean. I have about six vehicles to maintain also. Oh, I cant forget about the boat that needs to be buffed. I also do mechanical work to these vehicles. So, I do keep pretty busy. It really is never ending. But, it must be done.
Rejuvenator works great if you have contaminates in the clearcoat. But our most popular hand wax is: Flash Liquid paste wax. Flash contains carnauba wax and dupont zonyl which is another form of teflon. Zonyl mixes better with other chemicals (liquidfied carnauba wax) than teflon.
Flash wax is fast, easy and leaves a real high gloss shine.
It also has a good cleaner in it, and will remove light contaminates in the clearcoat. Flash came out on the market in 1989. But it is a professional detail product and it is not available in retail stores.
We sell Flash to all the Fire departments in Pinellas county.
If the firefighters are waxing the trucks and they get called out, they can go with the wax hazed up on the trucks all day in the hot sun and it will always wipe off easy. It will not streak. Therefore, they do not have to take the trucks out of service to wax them.
Well, take care guys and thanks for the order.

I must confess...
I have the liquid past you mention, but haven't used it yet.:shrug01:
I haven't really had to..the shine is awesome and studd just wipes right off:thumbsup: .
Question... will the rejuvenator help with fine scratches
that were made by sand getting on the polishing rag?:banghead: :banghead: :banghead:
It happened this morning while polishing the Ole' Gal.

Ray, That is the type of scratches I had on the Nova,came from a moving blanket placed on the car. worked for me.
Still having problems with the link, but I found another way to get to the site. Ordered several items so I can get the Vette ready for the Corvettes in the Sunshine show in Citrus County on the 24th. I'll give some feedback when I'm done, but based on the posts here and some recommendations from other people in my club, it should be good. :thumbsup:

Hello All,
Yes, Rejuvenator will remove fine sand scratches. I have detail shops use it to remove 1500 to 2000 grit wet sand scratches. But they use it with a buffer with a wool cutting pad. But, you can use Rejuvenator by hand with a terrycloth towel and can get close to the same results. We also have a strong compound called Tru-grit. It has very fine grit that does not create heavy swirls. It also contains
a polish that helps shine the surface after it cuts. It is clearcoat safe. Tru-grit also works great on oxidized boats and RV's too. Tru-grit will remove severe scratches and side swipe scratches. Most of our customers prefer Rejuvenator, because it contains wax. Take care guys.

Joe, your brown wheel wash, (brown royal maybe?),,, is that applied on a dry wheel then hosed off or on a wet wheel then hosed off?
ynkedad
Wassup!!!
Dry, then hose off is my method..and it works great!
I apply it to dry wheels, b4 I do anything to the car. By the time you're done spraying all 4 wheels, you can start rinsing. I believe the directions are.. leave it on the wheels for no more than 30-40 seconds.? And rinse off. If ya leave it on much longer than that, it starts drying.
BTW...the brown Royal can be diluted, how much depends on how bad the crudd is on your wheels.
Oh, when I 1st got the product...I rinsed the car prior to applying the BR and it didn't work as well IMO.

zzzona, what time were you there? I hit the place at about 11:30. Got the $29.95 introductory kit, and asked about the rejuvenator. Let us know what you have to say about it after you've used it. I'm thinking about trying it, but I want to know how hard it is to get on/off.zzzona said:

The rest of the story
When I got there, the place had a Closed sign on the door. I went up to the door and tried it just in case the sign hadn't been turned around and the shop was still open. Nope! The door was locked. I hear an older gentleman, sitting shotgun in a truck/SUV yell out to me "she'll be right there!" About the same time, the woman who was in the driver's seat of the truck, gets out and starts walking towards me. She drags out her keys, opens up the shop, and starts to help me. I told her that if she was going out to lunch or something, that I would come back later. She said that her Mother was being discharged from the hospital today, and that she was taking her Father (shotgun rider) to the hospital to be with her Mom during the discharge. She answered some questions for me, and I finally got the "introductory bucket" from her AFTER I met the 2 dogs. Cute goddanged things! Anyway, I was so blown away by her postponing her trip to the hospital with her father, that I didn't get her name, and COMPLETELY forgot to tell her THANKS for helping me. I sent a PM to Flashman asking him to tell her thanks for me. And by the way, She also said "Nice lookin Vette" as she was getting back into the truck with her Dad. MAN.....you can't BUY customer service like that! Haven't tried any of the products yet, but I think I'm hooked on them anyway after the service that I got!
Flashman, and whoever it was that helped me.........
I Thank You :IThankYou:

Hello All,
The girl that runs our retail store is no other than my wonderful wife Kellie. She takes care of the store and processes internet orders. The two Doggies are Snoball and Bozzie. They work the door at the store and greet incoming customers.
My mother-in-law was in the hospital under going some proceedures while visiting us. But, all is well and they are on their way home to New York. Thanks for your warm wishes. I wish I was at the store to meet members of the forum, but I was out on deliveries. I am at the store on Saturdays.
Brown Royal can be used on a wet or dry wheel. If you spray it on a dry wheel and the wheel is hot, just leave it on for 15-20 seconds, then hose it. The heat actually activates Brown royal and it works a little better. But do one wheel at a time and dont leave it on longer than 15-20 seconds. If you use it on a wet, cool wheel, you can leave it on for 60-90 seconds. It will not hurt the wheel. You can also use it on whitewalls, tires, grease, tar, mud, etc.
Brown Royal is a unique formula and never totally dries. It stays greasy. A car lot detailer sprayed a set of clear coated wheels with Brown Royal, he went to lunch and forgot about it. He came back a few hours later and sprayed it off with no damage to the wheels. But, the wheels were cool and the car was in the shade.
Many wholesale car lots use brown royal to remove contaminates from dirty nasty cars and trucks. It removes heavy oxidation from clearcoat and gel coat (boats). It preps the vehicle before waxing.
Brown Royal is for Clear coated, Chrome or Painted wheels only. It will Flash or streak uncoated aluminum wheels unless its diluted way down. The wheels can be fixed by polishing them with our metal polish.
I want to thank you all for purchasing our products and for your continued support. We are very dedicated to our business, customer satisfaction and the Corvette hobby. If you have any questions, feel free to ask Kellie or myself. Take Care.:thumbsup:

I have used it twice now on dry cool wheels and did two wheels at a time. I sprayed the left front then left rear then by the time I was done it was time to hose them off. It works pretty darn good in my opinion! Then I wash the rest of the car and dry everything off. It works good in getting all the nooks and crannies that a regular rag in soapy water may miss if your not careful. I just spray on a good coat, and make sure I get it sprayed "up" into the top inside of the wheel and spokes too.:thumbsup:
