I tried to purchase from them. What a fiasco! I received an email from them where they had shipped my order to the wrong address. I responded within 7 days, as the original email was in my spam filter because they sent the email to the wrong email address as well. When I responded they refused to reship the order and Tom told me I was in the wrong. Then they refunded PART of the purchase price. I asked again for them to reship the order and I would pay the additional shipping. Tom told me I need to get my information changed and then I could reorder. I complained about the poor customer service and Tom said they had over 6,000 orders in 1 1/2 years and they did not want me to reorder. Now that's customer service for you. With that kind of attitude, I don't expect they will be around long.

It seemed to me that as you were putting on the wax finish the shine came to it's maximum at about 500 RPM then diminished when you continued on to 1020 RPM. Then the shine juice really brought the gloss to a peak. Thanks for sharing from Marietta, GA.
