Thanks for the info

Can you tell me what brand/model you use?

This is pretty much the standard. I got mine about 1 1/2 years ago, but how only used it on my car twice.

Thanks, I've been reading up on them and it seems relatively easy and risk-free. I think I'm going to pick one up and finally get rid of my swirls. Doing it by hand just isn't very effective.

Ha, you bet! I love them. For reference i bought mine from stealth auto, great quality, would recommend them!

Just wish stealth bulbs weren't 30$

Yeah, fortunately my friend had one for me to barrow. I'd recommend finding a friend to go in 50/50 on it then you can save some money, because you probably won't be using it too often, but its definitely worth it.

Me and my family mainly use Zano waxes as well. They seem to be the most consistent of any wax I've used yet. But I still cant seem to replicate the luster of using real solid Carnuba waxes out of the can. Liquid wax is fast and in the end effective, but something about hand buffing just seems to make it all the more special.....when your arms are cramped for the following 3 weeks....

Car looks great! Any clips of you riding the unicycle?
