Got my Formula 113 today...PICS POSTED

It is getting dark already, and my car is really filthy, so I can't use
it tonight. I have already used the BeadX though. I just couldn't
let it all just sit there, I HAD to do something!

The BeadX goes on really easy, and polishes up even easier. I have
been using Rain-X for years, and frankly, I don't like how hard it
is to get off after putting it on. I will be able to see the results
tomorrow morning when I get up and start washing the car, prepping
it for waxing.

Unfortunately, my Firebird is not in good enough shape to use this
(or maybe I will try it anyway...hmmmm) but the Electron Blue SI
is going to get the first bit of it.

I am really excited to try this stuff, and since I have been waxing
cars for about 16 years now, and have a veritable cornicopia of
different waxes and polishes in my garage, I will let you know how
this stuff works for me. I will also get some before and after pics.

Wish me luck...

Are you buying it from Hawaii truck concepts?

Nice fellas, glad you guys like it.


Remember that beadx is for the entire car not just windows.(paint, chrome, windows)

We knock them dead in Syracuse.

Well I got to use it yesterday. It turned out really well. As the sun
went down, the sunset looked awesome on it. We didn't really
see how good the results were until we were on our way to one
of the local Saturday night car shows, and stopped at a gas station
for some cokes. As me and the wife walked out of the store to see
the car sitting there, we literally both stopped walking as we got
out the door, looked at the car and both said "WOW" at the same
time. I had never seen that car look that good. Under those bright
lights of the gas station, I was utterly blown away.

Since I have some left, gonna give the Firebird the treatment today.
I have some pictures I will post tomorrow morning.

Well, the pics I took of the Honda just don't do it justice. I stepped
outside late yesterday afternoon to pull it in the driveway and was
just stopped again by the way it looks. Hollered at the wife to come
and look at something... she stepped outside and said, "wow, look
at my car; is it just me, or is it actually BLUER than normal?"

I just grinned.

Now for some pics of the Firebird.

Of course.... BEFORE

AFTER...




I have a new friend... and its name is Formula 113.
