+1. And I don't remember what the sample container looked like, so I can't find mine.

UPDATE ON BANANA GAS:

I know, I know... there are several of you out there waiting at the edge of your seat for the official release of Banana Gas!

We are currently working on the name/label design (and all the boring admin-related stuff that has to be done when producing/bottling a new product).

**We should have it available by July**

Note that the name will likely change but we're trying some ideas that still incorporate the "fun" name we created while also making it a little more descriptive of what it is. Honestly, it's sort of tough though... we've all grown so fond of the Banana Gas name! At the same time, I think the uninitiated would really wonder what in the world it is with a name like that! (not that we haven't made up odd names and put them into the market before! ) We'll keep you posted on the final name soon.



Thanks again to all who have tested (or have yet to test... having waited for Spring). It's been fun and very informative for us.

-Heather

I say stick with the fun name The product slogan could be " Gas on, Gas off "

As I had no time to do a full clay, polish, sealant, before the Dragon, I decided to Gas Poco, at least he would have one product over all him that way, he seems to have turned into a patch work of different test areas.

So we left for the Dragon in warm, buggy, dry weather, and got about 5 hours out when we hit monsoon rains, lots of rain. Before the rain started, he was covered in bugs, then after a couple of hours of rain, he was bug free Now by the time we got to Fontana the next day, he was dirty, but he cleaned up easy, and looked good, till the rain came again down there. I also put some on the windshield, and the rain just ran right off.

So I'm thinking, besides a easy way to get the car looking good for a club event, BG seems to be pretty tough for long road trips. to DP for researching this product, and much luck with it in the future

What about Banana-fana-fo-fana-me-mi-mo-mana-Banana (Gas)?

I'm not sure what DP is intending to market this as, but I can see it as the perfect first time/novice wax with no need to worry about masking your trim, set time, or difficulty buffing it off.

In other words, "Lotsie Wax"
