Wax on car...

Well i just got back from my local hobby shop... i found out that they sell Tamiya Wax for 18 Cnd DOLLARS..... i was like WTF? a bit overpriced:rolleyes:
i was just wondering in Automotive wax would work just as good and safe?:confused:
anyone here tired any? cause i am not paying 20 bucks for that puny little squirt bottle:thefinger

Never tryed it, but some one told me that i need a bunch of coats on the car just in case so I'm not sure.

I use Meguiar's Deep Carnauba wax, it works great and doesn't take the paint off. Just make sure you have at least one clear coat. :)

I buy it for $15 Cdn in Toronto. May be you can check the proce in HLJ. HLJ and HobbySearch is stopping my local hobby shop sucking my blood.:smile:

It might only be a little bottle but i have used one bottle to do almost 70-80 models. You dont need to put much on a cloth as it goes along way.
Its very easy to apply and polish off.

It does go a long way. And to add to that, it smells good too. :)

Smells GREAT! :bloated: :biggrin:

Result is probably case by case.
Zymol doesn't seem to affect Tamiya TS or Gunze.
I haven't tried Meguiar's, but I have one, so I should go experiment.
