Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Very Odd Question for a Hunting Forum😀

Nothing about transgender or perverts sex, actually pretty mundane.😀
Floor wax. What is the best and easiest to use and apply, and what last compared to others?
Now before I get flamed for asking a womanly question on a hunting forum, I guess I should explain.
I my pre Army days, I had one of the nicest cars around, fairly quick one too.😀
I kept that ‘72 Monte Carlo immaculate too. You could have eat offa the motor.😀
I kept an old milk crate full of cleaning stuff and wax. One trick I learned was Future Floor Wax on tires and floor mats kept them shiny wet looking without getting slippery like Son Ofa Gun left them.
I’d mix Future 1/2 & 1/2 with water, and apply with a small soft paint brush.once it was dry, it was nice looking and long lasting.
I put new biscuits on the truck last week. Raised White Letters out. Old school, that’s me.😀
I cleaned them with a brush and cleanser. Lacking Future, (they quit making it evidently) I give them a coat of McGuires Hot Shine outta a spray bottle.
The waxy stuff sorta clogs the nozzle, and it came out sorta streaky. They’re nice, but no where near the results I always got using floor wax.

Turdle Wax?

Depends on the floor

Quick Shine seems to be about as close as anything I know of.

Baby oil is a pretty good product to shine up tires.

The rain washes our cars

Very helpful as always

Idiot

Fuqk you

More childish behavior from The Fire’s resident Democrat in Disguise

I’ve had many vehicles like that. For a couple years I drove a ‘96 Wagoneer that was always muddy and dirty until it rained!😀 The first 25 years after I got outta the Army, I had a work car that I drove until it was too expensive to fix.
Dad had a dealership license, and if I needed a vehicle, I could usually pick one up for 5 or 6 hundred $ at an auction. No brand loyalty, just basic transportation. Usually I could get 4 or 5 years outta something, and for that amount of money, I was way ahead of making payments.
We had a “Sunday Go To Meeting” car for Carol and family outings , and one I drove to work and back. Don’t go anywhere with it that you can’t haul it home from.😀
This ‘10 Ranger has good paint, and actually looks pretty good if you show a little effort in cleaning it up. Unless they’re one step outta the junkyard, I do put some effort into keeping them at least clean.
I have some Turtle Wax spay on & wipe off. In the winter, it at least repels rain and beads up. If it’s warm, I use paste wax and elbow grease. Lest longer and looks better.
But on rubber and plastic, you can’t beat that Hot Shine stuff. On plastic mirrors and trim, I spray it on a shop towel and apply it directly. As I said, the waxy stuff does tend to clog the sprayer partially, and you get streaks and uneven spots.

Chikin schit parrot closet ghey dumfuk ur the democrat in disguise

"Ach! Is blinding! Is new American weapon!" "No, is Turtle Wax."

Reon does the wax helps with dry rot in tires?

The man asks for a tire shine product, and you answer "depends on the floor" ?
And you call someone else an idiot ?

That dumfuk uses it on his bald head 😂

Johnsons paste wax may be what you’re looking for. They quit making the liquid but I understand there are some commercial waxes available which are comparable.
Good luck!

How's about the squirty pressurized can of furniture wax?

7mmbuster;
Good afternoon or evening out east already, I hope the day behaved and you're well.

Nearly 4 years ago now, I managed the Detail department in a local GM dealership where we did all manner of detail work including ceramic coatings, headlight polishing and all the rest.

We dealt with a supplier called Ducan Automotive, which is a BC company, but I'm guessing there has to be a few US based companies that sell dealerships commercial auto products.

The tire shine stuff we got was flat out amazing. Way better than anything I'd used that I bought from an auto parts store.

My suggestion then sir, is to wander into the Detail shop in a couple local dealerships and ask what they use and how they like it?

We sold stuff to regular customers of the dealership fairly often, just didn't sell anything that was either tricky to apply or needed specialized safety gear.

Hope that helped, good luck with the project whichever way you decide.

Dry rot is caused, I believe, mainly by UV rays of the sunlight. Keeping them protected will help.
But anything outside in direct sunlight, tires, vinyl tops, you name it, will suffer from it. Even them ratchet straps that we all use will weaken from those UV rays.
A shine seems to help. I’m sure you seen vehicles with plastic trim that is grey rather than black.
Another reason I think floor wax might be a cheaper alternative to stuff like that Hot Shine I use.

👍

Delta 8 or the dispensary cannabis?

I always used Cover All tire shine.

But ya got me on Ignore. Hurt feelers and all. lol

I'd go with a Tikka 6.5 Creedmore topped with an SWFA 6X.

Make no mistake, the fire is NOT a hunting of shooting forum.


Just that, carry on with old guy nonsense.

Its not a phaagut hang out either carry on🤣🤣

No hurt feelings here. I told you that sometimes you actually do add some intelligence. Unfortunately you also like to insult people who would otherwise probably like you!😀 I had to debate it for a while. Sometimes we are our own worst enemies. You definitely display this trait.😀
I have never seen the product you recommend, but I’ll definitely keep my eye out for it.
Never thought about asking a dealer what they use, but definitely a good idea.
I think it’s worthwhile and economical to take care of your ride. Just that some folks get themselves too busy to take care of small things.
I usually shop at Walmart for groceries and such. Only occasionally visit things like Auto Zone and I usually get things like oil and filters from O’Reillys when needed.

Always thought when we used tire shine, it just attracted dirt and dust and unless you washed it all the time the tires looked worse. Of course being on gravel and dirt roads at least half the time didn't help. I supposed living on pavement all the time for the most part might make me look again.

Or have things changed and the route with floor wax isn't as bad?

How bout armor all

Disguise?

Armor All and Son Ova Gun always seems to leave a sorta oily residue that makes thing slick and attracts dust. I use it on vinyl interior, but I try to avoid it on seats. My little ass seems to slide on the turns when I use it!😀
This truck has cloth seats which I occasionally scrub with a brush and a little soap and vacuum afterwards.
I miss that Monte Carlo though. That thing always looks like a million bucks when I got done, and that throaty exhaust and push back into the seat from that big block was a pure pleasure to a car junky like me.
I let my date drive it a little one night, she was my buddies cousin. “Oh” she said, “this has a lot more power than Scott’s”. I smiled for a week after and never had my clothes off!😀
There was a great but friendly rivalry between us. He had a ‘70 Monte Carlo with a 350. We naturally became close friends.
I drove into P-ville on night for the races. A friend hollered “why don’t you take your Mom’s car home and get yours out.
We ended up lining them up, and he kept his mouth shut afterward.😀

LOL

Armor All on the dash creates a wonderful rainbow/oil effect on the inside of the windshield for the life of the vehicle.

We used lemon pledge in the older days, still works. But now they got stuff ya just foam on & walk away, doesn't mater if you get some spray on the wheels, it disappears.

May not last as long but takes all of 90 seconds..

STP Tire Foam I think it’s called. I have used it with good results.
That’s good stuff, and you can use it wet, so you scrub the tire, rinse it and spray it.
I’m more worried about the plastic molding on the kick panels, bumpers and floor mats.
I can scub them clean, and I have used a rag or shop towel to apply the spray tire stuff, and it works ok. I wanted to try some kind of floor wax though. Like I sad, I’d use a soft paint brush to apply it straight on the sidewall, and Future was great. Way outlasted Son Ofa Gun and Armourall both.
Floor mats as well and your feet didn’t slide.
I did pick up a bottle of Quick Shine and applied to the molding on the rear bumper.
One coat didn’t do much for me, and I applied second coat. We’ll see once it’s dry.

Looks like a good product, I’ll keep my eye out for it.
I took you off ignore. Like I said, I hate putting folks on there because even a blind squirrel finds a nut sometimes!😀
I have always sorta liked you in spite of your azzhole tendencies! I done it because you whizzed me off. Consider yourself on probation!😀

Quick Shine sells 100% wax liquid floor wax. Amazon.

Try Ceramic Trimcoat by Cerakote.Wipes on and will out last any wax. One of few newer things this Boomer likes..
