Hi Will, thanks for the comments/review and glad you enjoyed it. Car looks great. I bet you can't wait till it rains now, lol. Almost like a bitter sweetness... if you have a waffle weave towel, a few wipes though in the garage and the car will be nice and dry. If you have an questions you know where to find me, ciao for now and again, thanks.

I got my sample on the 23rd. I washed my car last night and due to time, I only waxed a small area of the car in my garage. Not the greatest lit area, but it was really easy to apply and came off with a mf towel pretty easily and left the surface pretty slick. Oh, and it smell's fantastic!
I didn't take any photos but I will rewash the car this weekend, wax it and take some photos!
Can wait!
Thanks again, John!

Hi guys,

I have officially become a sponsor on these forums. I started out here more than a year ago and would like to show my appreciation for CL and for everyone's comments and feedback on samples that were mailed out. Have been on these forums for quite some time, even before this new adventure began. Pictures that were sent to me via email, I will post here or in an album under this new name. If you have new pictures please email them to me at john@knightarmorwax.com and I will post them on my site, club lexus and FB with your permission of course. It's been fun, will post a little later today. Ciao for now.

John

Default Washed and waxed with Knight Armor Wax

Went on great and came off pretty easy.
I think I should have done an area then removed wax instead of doing an entire side then removing, as it was a bit more difficult to remove.
Other than that, the car shines great!
Still have some swirling to take car of with a more in depth detail job, but wanted to show thanks for the sample!
Thanks John!

Hey John, randomly stumbled upon this searching Google, was thinking this guy can't be serious, and once I saw the samples, I was like hmm I wonder if he'll ever good as the big manufactures..

Congrats on making a hobby a profit, I think that would make me quite profound in life, as that's one of my dreams.. so basically, congrats on your startup! And love the name

Just read the whole thread at once from start to finish and was pleasantly surprised

I'm a pretty regular user of collinite, and I do detail quite a few cars for hobby, but just wondering, how does the durability of your product last in the east coast? (I'm in southern california) and how is it against attracting dust? (my #1 problem with collinite)

The product looks great btw! And just curious, what was your favorite product before making your own?
Best of wishes!
