So what are the myths Lamar? 

Cheap "carnauba waxes" off the shelf. The less they cost, the lower the quality of carnauba they contain, and most contain abrasives too. A pint will only do your car two or three times. To one who's never used real carnauba wax, it does appear to cost more, but a pint of the good stuff can cover even a big Mercedes 20 to 30 times! 

Colored waxes. Another gimmick to get you to part with your money. You'll need a different bottle for each color car you've got. The polish residue is supposed to fill in chips and scratches. Only touch-up paint should be used to fill chips. And if the dyes used are really strong enough to affect your paint, it could discolor your rubber, chrome and glass! Also, the colored residue makes it hard to see where you've missed when buffing. Our products comes in just one color, yet works great on ALL color paints!  

Flames and acid. These are old time carnival tricks use by hucksters for years. Lighter fluid squirted on your paint will burn for about 7 seconds. Barely enough time to raise the paint temperature 15 degrees or cause any damage. Hydrochloric acid is dripped onto paint after ammonia is first sprayed. It looks scary. The ammonia immediately neutralizes the acid and causes a smoke-like vapor to appear. Just another gimmick to make you think the wax is protecting the paint from the acid. If they claim their wax prevents acid rain damage, ask to see the guarantee. See what they'll do for you if damage does occur!  

Abrasive free 1-Step waxes or polishes. Many products claim they contain no abrasives but really do! ( see the test for abrasives in another section of this site )

Claims of high percentages of Carnauba wax. It's not the quantity of wax, but the use of quality grades and blends of different Carnauba waxes that creates the highest shine and durability. It's the final result that counts! Always compare waxes in side-by-side tests!

Sell Your Car For More Than You Paid! Your car's value usually drops every year for about 15 years. If it's still in excellent condition after 20 years, you can probably sell it for more than you originally paid! With proper care you can keep your car gleaming and free of any rust. An excellent appearance will command the highest price on resale. The Outdoor Detailer Kit gives some helpful hints on the correct methods of washing, polishing, waxing and prevention of body rot.
