Post Joes Wow Stuff?

Has anybody heard of this? I have a friend that says that he lives in the town that this guy lives in. He knows the creator of Joes Wow Stuff and says its incredible! Just wondering if anyone has heard of it. He also says he wouldnt put Zaino on his car if someone paid him I can roll my eyes because I use Zaino and in my own personal experience it is a wonder product. I dont like to take other peoples word when I can test something myself. But I would like to know what others have to say about Joes Wow Stuff. Thanks Sorry for rambling

If you are talking about "Joes Wow Wax", yeah, I've heard of it. Apparently its made here in Grand Rapids, MI. Have I tried it? No. Have I seen a few cars with it on? Yeah. Does it protect just the same as wax? Yep!

Nobody that sells a wax product is going to recommend you buy someone else's product. If he truly believes that Zaino isn't any good, he is really in the wrong business because he doesn't have a clue.

Well, he has done car detailing for a long time and doesnt like Zaino at all. He doesnt sell Joes Wow Wax, he just knows the creator of it, and yes I believe he is in Grand Rapids! My friends name is Gary, hes got a hugger orange LS1 with a white convert top.

All I know is that I love my Zaino and would never put anything else on my car.

Yep, I know Gary. I can never pronuonce/remember his last name, but I've talked with him a few times at the local hangout. All the older musclecar enthusiasts try pushing this Joes Wow Wax everytime my friends or I make a comment about polish/wax. I got 'em to shut up one night after seeing my Cutlass with 4 coats of Z2 on it. Goddam that was shiny under the streetlights.

James, I'm curious now. Why doesn't your buddy like Zaino exactly. If I was a detailer I'd never use it on my customers cars because I want them coming back as often as possible. I've heard of other detailers who use wax on their customers cars but use only Zaino on their personnal cars.

Thats how I operate. I use Meguiars on all my customer cars. That is, until one guy saw how much shinier my was than his. He told me he wanted what I had on mine. After I told him about Zaino, he said he doesnt want anything else on his car. Cool for me, because I charge him more for using Zaino than regular wax.

Im not sure why he doesnt like it. He just said he would never use Zaino. And he also said that "whoever says using dishwashing liquid strips wax is BSing you" He is a member on this board also, I wish he would chime in here so we could discuss this. I take his opinions very highly and if he says he wont use Zaino, Id like to know why etc.

Hmmm, it's a known fact that dish soaps strip carnauba waxes due to their high acid levels. Nearly ANY car care company or detailing shop will tell you this. So are they all full of BS? Don't think so...

If he doesn't like Zaino, that's fine, but facts are facts...so someone is BS'ing him.

Thats what I told him. I said so all the car parts guys, all the wax/polish representatives, car enthusiasts, body shops and other detailers have lied to me and many others? LOL Dont think so.
