[diesel_mercedes] Re: Red Max Pro wax job - almost 1 year later

 

The stuff on the edges is what was left of the clear coat.
I could have done a better job, but there are not that many people walking up to look at an 84 300d, so from 10 feet or more, you never see it.

If it had not peeled, there would have been no need for the Red Max, maybe...

While I would not use it on a new car, I did do my 85 Dodge Xplorer 228 Class B, and my 98 Neon.

Wash sooner than the fall. Its been raining almost non stop here this spring and still going into summer.

It will get a followup coat of wax before winter even though I am tempted to see how long it will last with out a redo.

Here in Tennessee the Render got tight with the health Dept.,and all places must have Render service.They are selling veg to hospitals to run their furnaces.


YOUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK.  I still get the mom and pop establishments that only do a few gallons a month.  They fall in the cracks as no render service wants to come out for small quantities & here in San Francisco there are drop off points for used oil....hint hint.   Lawrence Rhodes

Here is a pic of my roof, pealing clear coat, after the Red Max Pro, wax job last Aug/Sept.

The car has not been washed or rewaxed since other than nature, rain and snow, and its been through a NH winter.

Looks pretty good to me, I dont know of any other wax that lasts this long.

[diesel_mercedes] Re : Veggie Oil KILLS Diesel Engines

 


Yes Lawrence but 99 % of the people who go in for veggie oil do so because they're cheap and lazy , too much so to properly convert the car or prepare the fuel .

Them's the _facts_ Jack ~ you don't have to like 'em , I don't .

Were I not so lazy , I'd prolly go this route because I'm ' Yankee Thrifty ' (means : CHEAP) . but cheap fuel until I destroy my car , isn't good long term cheaposity , knowhutimean ? .

> Yes Nate we know you don't like veg oil in diesels.....but I have been doing this for 10 years.  Works for me and I just got back from a round trip San Francisco to Redlands with no incidents.  I've had diesels that have run smooth and start right up.  It's hard.  If there is one little leak you will have hard starting and rough running for a minute or so.  It's not for everyone but someone like you would figure it out.  You must have electric line heaters & water based heat exchanger.  The temp of my oil is 200 degrees F.  just before going into the cylinders.  Do I have blow by?  Yes.  I drove one 240 like this for over 100,000 miles and it had over 300k on the clock to begin with.  The car ran better when I sold it than it did when I bought it.  BTW my oil with just filtering using old blue jeans looks like it came out of the bottle.  Lawrence Rhodes.....300TD...Might be selling soon to get our second electric car....If I sell I will

[diesel_mercedes] Red Max Pro wax job - almost 1 year later

 

Here is a pic of my roof, pealing clear coat, after the Red Max Pro, wax job last Aug/Sept.

The car has not been washed or rewaxed since other than nature, rain and snow, and its been through a NH winter.

Looks pretty good to me, I dont know of any other wax that lasts this long.
