Are the new chemical based products recommended for old AD paint? My age and truck's age sure could use the help.

Just thought the new products out today would be easier to apply but not sure on 70 year old paint. Tks

Unsure of use as they do not appear to be wax based. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 Riding in the Passing Lane | | Riding in the Passing Lane Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 | I have been using Turtle Wax Express Shine. It claims to have 3x the Carnauba wax. It has a mild cleaner also. It is real simple to use for an old man like me.

They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing. 1972 Chevy c10 Cheyenne SuperIn the Gallery Forum | | | | | Joined: Jul 2008 Posts: 181 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jul 2008 Posts: 181 | Thanks for the tip. At age 75 I grew up with Turtle Wax products, still recall trying to rub off the glaze when it dried too long. Will certainly try this product. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2013 Posts: 1,362 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Sep 2013 Posts: 1,362 | I've gone to the easy side of life. 70 year old shoulders are not happy with the "good" paste wax routine these days. Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions in a spray bottle . It's a spray on, wipe off product that truly does work. A worthwhile video on the subject here. Give it a try. RonR
