This little story is for Mike-in-Orange.

A few weeks ago, I detailed my xFire, and this did not go unnoticed by a co-worker/buddy who drives a 2002 S2000. Red ragtop like mine. After a bit of oohing and aahing, he asked for instructions and a list of materials.

For the instuctions, I cut and pasted the sticky "How to Detail Your Crossfire".

For the list of materials I gave him all Mequiars goods including the claybar kit Step 2 Polish and NXT 2.0 wax. He's a pretty bright guy and I left him to do it himself, and went to Virginia for a week.

When I returned, I was told by another co-worker that George was looking for me and looked really pi$$ed off.

Well, he found me today. After a long litany of how carefully he followed all directions and watched the videos I sent to him from autopia, he applied the NXT 2.0, waited 60 minutes (it was humid that day) and proceded to buff it off, by hand, using a microfiber towel.

It wouldn't come off! He said, and I quote, "I rubbed and rubbed and rubbed on the hood and it just looked AWFUL!. Cloudy and streaky, just awful. Then It took 15 minutes to notice that the cloudiness was moving! And it came to me that I was looking at the reflection of a hazy, overcast sky."

A testament to Mequiar products, I guess?

 

That's a great story, LOL, thanks.

 

lol wow i got worried for a little bit there. that is funny story

 

Niiiiice. Thanks for sharing that!

Guess you're buddy had never actually put a shine to a car on his own, eh?

 

I was hoping you'ld read that!

No, his car is a driver (as is mine), but he just washes it every 4 weeks and waxes it every year whether it needs it or not!

It came out pretty danged nice, though!

 

Good story!
Got any pics?

 

Not the sharpest knive in the drawer, is he.

 

I'll get a couple in the AM.

 

I just got a call from a guy asking about our products, saying how much he loved NXT Tech Wax 2.0 and that a friend turned him on to it. So we're talking a bit about this and that, cars, cheerleaders, etc and he decides to relate a bit of an embarassing story to me.

Seems he was removing the NXT from the hood of his red S2000 for the first time and thought it was a bit difficult to remove. It took him a while, but he eventually figured out that what he was seeing was a reflectiion of a cloud, not wax that wouldn't come off.

I was a bit stunned because, of course, the story was just so familiar. Naturally I asked him if his friend happened to own a Crossfire. Sure enough, I was on the phone with Max's buddy George. Small world or what?

 

The best stories are always true.

I'm pushing your products so hard (and well), I should be on commision.
