Used Formula 113 (Pics inside)

These were some pictures taken last week after I used my Formula 113 sample. I really love that wax and that's all I'm gonna use for now on.

Are your wheels polished?? Looks great.

I haven't touched the wheels since I've got the car. I know the guy I bought it from and the wheels re-finished before I got it. They look good in the pics but you can see the clear coat starting to come off in person. Hopefully I can start to polish them reel soon.

I used it on my Blazer. I didn't wash it for about 3 months and I put 2 coats of the gold class on, and it cleaned it up real nice. It was easy to use too.

NICE car, looks great, white is a tough color to prove a wax or polish, sometimes a white car can be discolored or have yellow tint to it. The chemical cleaning formula in the 113 really brings back the really white paint. ENJOY THE SHINE

Because your car never came out of the garage.

I never said it lasts forever, a month maybe , 2 weeks, some cars longer then others, in different parts of the country the 113 may last longer.

I live in the West Palm beach area and I know that the wax would last longer in NY then in Florida. The sun is much stronger here and the wax will not last as long. I have tried the p21s and platinum since I have moved and they will out bead the formula113 2 or maybe 3 to 1, but they did not give the same look to the car, the p21s gives a more translucent shine and doesn't hide the scratches or swirls and the platinum gives a nice shine but its not a clear, a little smudgie I would say, but beaded up a lot longer then the 113. Bottom line is the 113's shines is much deeper and hides swirls better then those 2 products. It just doesn't last as long.


After doing the corvette and testing the other products on my car, I have since gone back to waxing the car with the 113,
LORD I HAVE STRAYED! BUT I AM BACK.

Yeah I noticed that the front did look high in that last pic. I'm not sure what it is cause I haven't messed with it. It doesn't look like that in person.

nice car! i've used formula 113 for a few months now and i love it. everyone says it makes a huge difference and it does. but like you said, i don't think it lasts quite as long.

oh well, i still love the stuff and its worth waxing it every two weeks just b/c it looks so good when i do!
