Need to Wax THIS weekend

My chili red cooper NEEDs to be clay bared and waxed THIS weekend. A few sap-pollen-rain-sun days have resulted in spots that will not wash away add to those a couple of bird shots.

I was looking forward to a claying and Prima product Saturday, however my plans have unraveled when I realized the Prima is not avaiable locally in Austin, Texas and now I must develop a "plan b".

I need the know the best products to get from a retail chain either department or automotive.

Thanks,

LGK

Honestly, if you order Prima right now, there is a chance (although slim) that your stuff could be there tomorrow, or Saturday (DHL does Saturday delivery right?) Call Detailers Paradise, they might be able to help you out

FedEx Next Day Air wouldn't be that expensive for a bottle of wax.

DP ships via DHL, and DP is in Colorado. If they got it out today, it could very likly be at his door by 5p Friday. They got my order to me in 2 days, and I live in Maryland, clear cross country.

If you don't have time to get what you want shipped, I suggest getting the Meguiar's Clay Kit & NXT Wax. It's pretty good stuff & should be available at some of your local auto parts stores

or... Just wait one more week to detail so you can get exactly what you want.

I wouldn't be surprised if it is at your door when you get home from work tomorrow.

Calling probably would be a good idea, just to know for sure if it will likely be at your doorstep in time.

The Update,

I overnighted the order....a bit pricy, however well worth it. I clayed, Amigo-ed, Epic-ed, and 24 hours later I Hydro-ed AND except for missing a few spots with the clay, the results were fantastic.

I reccomend the Prima line of products with one exception, order early and avoid the overnight charges.

LGK
