I here so much about this wax and that, I havent hurd of anyone useing rain dance in a while, it is the easiest to put on, the easiest to take off, looks great on a red car and is smooth as glass after 2nd coat.

just wondering,

 

About 25 years ago when Rain Dance came out I use to buy it by the case for my Trans Am's, it was not that easy to use then, but it lasted longer than the red bottle Meguiar's at that time, I then switched to Liquid Glass, and because LQ was a synthetic it lasted 4-5 times longer than Rain Dance. If you want to use carnauba over synthetic then I would use P21S, it was rated the best carnauba wax, and the best shine, that is because of the high oil content.

 

I tried Rain Dance (granted, it was aobut 8 years ago, so things may have chaged, but I doubt it) and was not happy at all with it.

It was hard to remove and left residue and power everywhere, just like most cheaper carnaba waxes...

Ironically, I went to Liquid Glass at that time, and was pretty happy with it at the time, though it also left powder, and some gunk in the body seams... But it gave a better shine that Rain Dance, and lasted longer too...

 

Hehehe, I remember Rain Dance! Back when I was in my early teens, it was one of the first waxes I ever used when I really didn;t know too much about proper detailing. All I knew was that RD left a nice shine and beaded water like heck, which I then liked. I went through several bottles of RD before then going with Meguiar's after I was gaining experience and knowledge. I stayed with Meguiar's Proressional line for several years and consider that as very good experience in car care. After Meguiar's was a slew of other waxes and then a taste of polymers. Anyhow, I probably didn't know (or care) back then, but RD is now owned and made by TurtleWax, but like I said, I have no clue if it was then. For what it was, a cheap carnauba wax, it worked OK. I remember even getting comments from strangers about the car I detailed often with RD. One stranger even wanted to buy the dang car lol! Anyhow, in my current shoes looking back after using dozens of products, I'd say you can do a lot better, but you could do worse too. All in all, RD is average, and for those that don't know much about waxing or want a quick cheap shine, it may be a good starting place. Like Darth said, it will leave dusting and white outline stains in body seams. And, I seem to remember it being a little difficult to buff too often tiring my arms. If you're truly looking for the ultimate carnauba wax shine, you'll need to step up to a full detail: claying, paint cleaning, polishing, glazing, then waxing with a pure wax. I did this routine for a long time, until I finally got sick of the poor durability of a wax for the amount of effort it took to keep the finish perfect.

Ahhh, Rain Dance, brings back memories.....

You forgot to tell us what you use now. You got tired of the poor durability and the ammount of effort.......... so you switched to....??

 

He wanted to know about RD, so what I use now is irrelevant to his question.

 

Neither you darth or carl said anything about what you use now. You guys always tell us whats the best.

ROTFLMFAO!!!

 

Just like looking at a car waxed with the AMAZING Zaino Bros. Show car polish!

 

I think you know I work for Zaino, so that is what I use, but why did you have to bring Zaino into this post, the thread was "anyone use Rain Dance"
