    Quoted from oldcarz:

    Differences? Both Blitz and P21S are high quality carnuba and give spectacular shine. I prefer P21S

    I have heard nothing but excellent things about P21S from a handful of people and look forward to trying it out. Do you have a link to this "Gel Gloss" you speak of? Is Gel Gloss found at Lowes or Home Depot?

    I have to agree with Vid on this one. Less is best on this 70 year old title with ball wear spots.

    Quoted from oldcarz:

    I got mine at Ace Hardware near me: http://www.acehardware.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3171761
    Not sure if it's at Lowe's or Home Depot.
    Good luck

    Just picked up a 16oz bottle at Lowes. I plan to use some on my bathroom tub that needs a re-glazing badly first. I am going to try it on my 64 Ship Mates sometime this weekend. I am pretty sure the ME and 91 ISO ate up the reamining clear on it. (big mistake on part) live and learn. I wish I had seen some of Vids illustrations of what original clear looks like on a piece of ME.

    Johnson's Paste wax is fine IMHO. I would give it a B+. Blitz I give an A+. Put some Johnson's on it and see how it looks. You can always clean off the wax if you don't like it. Wax 1/4th of it or half of it first. Try the bottom area between the flippers and the ball arch area. If it looks good then keep going and put on 2-3 coats of Johnsons.

    Feel better! I had what you had and it had me sick for 3 weeks.
