I've ordered mine too. Looking forward to getting my bottle. Not too impatient, however, as the weather's been rotten lately.

So far I'm liking it. It's a little sticky at first, so attracted some dust. But after that and a very light QD wipedown after a couple of days, it looks FANTASTIC.

Great! Just remember, if when you apply it and it looks wet, continue spreading out the shine until it's less shiny. You don't need very much. A little goes a long way.

I've been overwhelmed by all the orders here on NAM and my SCD shop. I'm doing my best to catch up, as well as on the back log of cars I'm working on at the shop. We've already mixed up the second batch, and should be filling bottles tonight for the second batch. All orders to date will be shipped out without much delay----much meaning--as soon as I fill and slap the labels on--which even those are in limited supply---You will be notified as soon as the order ships.

Thanks for your patience.

Here's a few more teaser shots from MOTD

Which one is BW'd????


Can you tell here??? It's now always shiny. =)

Most definitely--it's a fruity melon smell. One person at MOTD commented it smells like lip gloss from her grade school days---or something like that.

Don't you have a 4-year old at home? Think of the savings in labor costs alone not to mention benefits.

Hah hah, he just turned 3---and he's very vocal now--but now quite capable of packing boxes and printing postage labels yet. He's in to Hang Man, Memory, and Sonic (from Google Toys)....

Well put him to work for a probationary year and tell him if he does a good job he'll be given the position when he turns 4. Then fire him a week before he comes off probation and hire a younger, cheaper worker.
I've spent over 20 years in corporate America - yep, I'm a bit cynical.

Careful. ML will be standing at the end of your driveway with a handwritten sign that says "OCD - Will work for goo"

I am hopeful that a bottle will arrive today or tomorrow. It is supposed to stop raining today and Cosmo needs some major attention!

NO kenchan, I already warned you will get addicted to it!
Wow + Hydro + Stomach acids may have the same result as diet coke and mentos for all we know!

Hey, forget about the label on mine. I promise I won't ingest it. Just mark WOW on the bottle with a sharpie.
