Default One Grande Blitz...

Found a place on the net that just went out of business in MD @ www.motorhead.net and they are selling stuff pretty cheap. I got the Large 15oz Blitz wax for 17.99 and the Omega Glaze 16oz for 11.99. Seems like good prices compared to www.onegrand.com. Shipping to LA from MD was only $3.29, I think it's via UPS.

Should be here in a week or so. I'm really upset about the swirls the dealer made. I hope this makes it look better.

I Just got my one grand blitz friday afternoon and havent' had a chance to use it yet, but I opened it and it smells horrible. Is that normal? Zaino, Zymol, and Meguiars all smell pretty good but this smells like harsh chemicals for the Omega Glaze and the hand paste. Did it go bad or is that normal?

The worse it smells, the more desireable it is.

...........oh wait,....that pertains to dog food..

Actually, most over the counter waxes and things have "fragrance" added to them to make them more marketable.

Normal waxes and cleaners and polishes that don't have the added fragrance smell like s**t.

Well, I used it last night (kinda cumbersome to do in the dark, but anyway) and it worked! Got the swirls out. I had a hard time with the glaze. It went on easy but when wiping off it just seems to smudge and smear. Is that normal? Just wax over it? If I want to wax again should I/can I put another coat of the glaze on or just wax over it? How thick do you want the wax? Should it haze white or should it be pretty thin like Zaino?
