It only costs $7 for a 27 oz bottle at Wal-Mart and I recommend everybody try it out for themselves.

In our Wal-Mart superstore it's in the grocery dept by the floor care products, on the bottom shelf in a clear bottle. It should be by floor wax and stuff if your store is different. Look for Pledge with Future Shine.

It's killer. I used a little paint brush to apply some to this cop bike so I didn't have to mess w/ dismantling it and it worked like a charm. The bike had a dull, flat finish to start with:




Check out the pix of the '65 Corvette to see how it looks on a car with the blue paint. I'll try to finish this one up tonight.

If you do use it be sure to watch window areas when you dip a casting. The surface tension is such that it will make a bubble on windows and you'll have to pop it. The site I provided a link to has something about adding a few drops of dishsoap liquid or Windex to the work jar, but haven't tried it.

I finally got around to getting the Lotus dipped in Future and detailed. I didn't know whether or not to fill in the headlights, they weren't in the factory release and one slip would ruin the whole thing, but went ahead and filled them in silver. I did the interior in flat black and the metal piece that makes up the rear wing and exhaust in Rust-Oleum sliver Metallic Finish.
