Default Victoria Wax Beading hard at 4 months.

Although I have the Cobra out daily I dont let it get rained on much. Last night I brought it to the dragstrip and when we got home I left it in the driveway. It rained in the afternoon and before I went to pull it in the garage I noticed the Victoria Wax was still kicking azz after 4 months! Here are some pics. I absolutely love this wax, being made in Canada is also a bonus!

Looks great Chris. How long would it last under normal conditions? I got some from you but only use it as a finishing touch on certain cars because it looks so wet. Not sure of the durability.

Well although I do not drive the Cobra daily, it does sit in the driveway everyday (Unless raining) for at least 8-10 hrs per day. I do this so I have the floorspace free to work in. For a Carnauba I was a tad surprised myself.

Looks great. I was reading on their site that there's a safe solvent in it... anyone know what that solvent is?

Great product -- I recently tried it and it is great. Is it going on sale anytime soon?

Hey Nica, I tried applying it by hand as per your video and didn't seem to see an apprciable difference over using a MF pad. Do you think it is better applying by hand?

Well to be honest shiny, it's all personal preference. I enjoy applying all my waxes by hands, well the ones I can apply by hand, because I enjoy manhandling the vehicles. I get more intimate with the vehicle and get to feel every curve and corner of the vehicle...that and I like how the wax feels in my hands...but like I said it's all personal preference.

Applying wax by applicator is just as good as applying it by hand, I just prefer to apply it by hand that's all.

Well that's just my

It didnt go soo great, it was a Wednesday night Ricer fest and there was no traction. The car with 100 less HP last year went 12.40@111MPH on a 1.55 60'. This year with the blower and poor track prep it went 12.30@118MPH with a 1.75 60'. If I can just get the 60' down to at least 1.55 it will easily pull 11's. We are renting the track in september so I will have another crack at it on a better prep.
