    Trade Secret Wax

    http://www.premiumautocare.com/trsecawax.html

    This is one I haven`t tried.
    Can anybody give me some details on this product and why I would choose it over s100???
    (Seems to be priced in-between s100 and Souvran.)

    thks

    Imagine Pinnacle Paste Glaze and then color it blue. I`m guessing that its recycled smurfs from that mysyerious Black Forrest or something. lol Anyway, that is Trade Secret. It has the same benefits as PPG does.

    Jeff,

    I don`t know if I would necessarily "choose" TS over P21S, but here`s my take on TS vs P21S.

    The TS seems to darken darker colors a bit more than P21S.
    The TS also seems to layer quite well, and improves the look with multiple layers............. at least on dark colors. I`ve not noticed that with P21S.
    The TS has polymers in it that should make it a bit more durable.

    In the end the TS strikes me as a product that is somewhere between P21S and Souveran in looks................ and that`s not a bad thing!

    Anyhow, it makes a nice addition to my "collection"!

    Trade Secret ROCKS!

    :band

    I`m up to 9 coats, 10 will be done either today or tomorrow. My car is the Blue RSX on topoftheline.com(the makers of the wax). Peep it out!


    I have noticed that it`s a "softer" wax, you need to be careful when drying the car, not to press to hard with your cloth--you WILL leave swirlies! But if you are gentle, the results will be great.

    After I reach 10 coats, I`m gonna try the combo of HiTemp Light Cut, Klasse Sealant Glaze, then (holds breath) Zymol NSX Glaze topper...


    :bye 8 coats in the pics...

    Sure, it`s shiny, but how smooth is it, and how does it look in direct sunlight?

    Yep, on colors like that, I would believe that TS would have a slight edge over P21S .......... especially with layers of TS!

    However, it depends on each individuals preference!

    Of course you know that after you put carnauba on the car then you can`t put anything else on it but more carnauba. SG won`t bond to wax and neither will anything else. Unless you mean that you plan on stripping off the 10 coats and starting over. That would be pretty cool.

    I`ve used the highest end of the high end Zymol. Its fragile stuff. I would stick to TS or P21S. Of course, if you have access to it then go nuts. Don`t expect it to be better than TS though. TS is good stuff.

    Yeah,

    I`m talking about stripping the 10 coats and starting over. But that won`t be for at least a couple months.




    ...and I don`t think that the Zymol Estate Glazes would be BETTER, but different. I`ll stick with whatever looks better, but I think for my money, my current plan is gonna be fine.
