Well since I just got the Turtle Wax Ice spray wax I'll have to finish that off before I look at this product, but thanks for the tip. I think the Ice spray wax works well too though. I'd like to compare both though. Maybe I'll just buy it. lol

I have used them both and I like the Lucas Slick Mist better that Maguires quick detailer for a quick touch up wax does not hurt my orange SS stripes actually helps the vinyl stripes !! Everything else I use is Maguires interior / exterior or Mothers/ rims

To 2001 ss Keith: I LOVE your color combo! And about this Lucas product: does it hide swirl marks in black good? Especially in the sun. My car looks great on cloudy days, lol.

I just bought a small bottle of the stuff and I'm going to try it on the Red 03 as a quick touch up when I'm at nationals. I already detailed it last weekend so it's ready for the show.

After owning a 50s British car, I'd never ever think to deliberately buy something branded "Lucas".

Tire mist all. Not my favorite. It works great, but it leaves them specs of oily dirt after your first drive. And the specs cover the whole sides of the car. But it looks alright?? Kinda wants to bead off the tire>>>>>

Im gonna stick with my Black magic "Tire Wet" foam. Its the best Ive ever used, doesnt leave that "side spray" (the oily specs on the side of the car) and it gives the tires that shiney "more than clean" look, not the shiney "black plastic" look. And its the easiest tire treatment Ive used also.

Forgot to say, you have to buff the tire out with a cloth or somthing to get rid of the beading effect, so its not as shiney as its supposed to be anyway.
Conclusion: use somthing else. The foam is what Im always gonna stick with for sure, it (the can) doesnt last as long, but the shine lasts longer.
