Don't fall asleep during theh drive home...

Well the bridge opens at 3am, so I should be home by 330... Just missed the closure (at 1am) by minutes too...

I'm guessing the Blue Coral Wax isn't a Meguiars product? The only clear wax product I've seen in the UK market is Turtle Wax Clear Vue which isn't all that clear in honesty when I tested it in the lab... and the finish was pretty poor comparitively too, though I'm a great believer in the wax only giving you that little extra icing on the cake... the beauty will come from the prep, as I was explaining to an Autoglym rep today who showed us how to wash a car with one bucket and a sponge starting at the bonnet! He also didn't believe that a polish could perform defect removal unless it contained fillers.... to my understanding, Menzerna contains no fillers and it works well.

Besides that it's up to you... If you wax often it shouldn't matter on a Bike.

Hmmm looks like 1 layer of NXT this saturday and another on Sunday this weekend

Even a completely clear product will never be "optically clear", if you get something that is completely optically clear with absolutely no impurities over a large area you are doing well...

As for the Blue Coral, just how clear is clear? Silly question I know, but are there impurities in it? Unless its man made, there will most definitely be impurities, and even if it is man made there will likely be impurities... Back to what I was saying at the start, some products are simply clearer than others, but not product is optically 100% clear, ie 100% light transmission.

Here you go... except for the light purple tint the product has, it's pretty clear. It's the clearest product I've ever seen for a car wax.



In fact, it's way more clear than the one everyone is always talking about as being optically clear, I mean this stuff is clear and the other stuff is a solid color, the stuff everyone's always talking about certainly isn't optically clear in the bottle, like 99.9% of the products on the market.

Thats a nice looking product clarity wise, thank you for taking the time to post the pic Mike, we don't get that product in the UK... In fact for a wax, thats astonishingly clear, I wonder how they managed that. I'm an inquisitive sort of person, probably why I love physics...

Have you tried it out?

I'd love to examine some of it in our spectrometers, the ESR one I work with to look at the free-radicals, I love playing around with new products to see exactly whats in them!
