Anybody familiar with Astroshield polish
(http://www.astroshield.com/)? I've heard some decent things about it,
even that they use it in the military and on the Disney World monorail
cars. My local store doesn't carry my old brand anymore, and they
recommended this one.
Thx. Riz

Crossposting shill for a product that is probably CR@P.

This reminds me; I must avoid Astroshield and get some proper wax today.

I was in the military for a while, UK Royal Engineers 101v,(yes I was a
STAB!)  and I don't ever remember anyone suggesting we made our bedfords or
landrovers shiny with wax polish........  Something to do with camoflage?!

Riz, my body shop guy in Winter Florida recommended this stuff to me
many years ago.  I loved it.  I am now in North Carolina and can't find
it anywhere.  I would kill for a can.  I have nothing "decent" to say
about it.  The only word I have for it AWESOME.

That's good to hear. Usually when I hear that something is used by the
military and some famous thing it means it's cheap and shitty. (Like the
Tang that went up in early space missions).

I'd bet money that post is spam, I saw one very much like it a few months
ago. My guess is Astroshield is garbage, there's plenty of reputable
products available locally.

I used to use Astroshield on my very first car when I was in high
school, a 1978 Firebird.  It was absolutely fantastic.  If you can
find it, by all means get it.  I haven't seen it in my area in years.

As for the poster who mentioned Tang, I have this challenge for you.
Do a little checking.  Tang says they're the drink of the astronauts.
But if you do some research, I'll guarantee that you won't find a
single astronaut who had Tang on any mission.  Just a bunch of
marketing hype from Tang.

Good Luck,
Brad

Don't know about this stuff, but a lot of folks on the Rennlist site
swear by a product called Rejex. I've tried it and it's not bad, but the
down side is you can only apply it when the temperature is 85 degrees or
less, and once you remove it the car has to "cure" for 12 hours so it
adheres to the paint.

I've tried Zaino, Zymol, Griot's and Meguiars and like Zaino best. It
seems to hold up as well as Rejex and it doesn't have to "cure". You
have to strip old wax off the car before the first application, which
means you wash the car with Dawn dishwashing soap (it's alkaline), dry,
then apply the polish.

There's also Klasse and P21S, but I haven't tried them........

Personally, I'd stick to a "name" brand.
