Great pics. Thanks.
Interesting about the Swissvax Crystal Rock....sells for $1,100.00
And the one reviewer writes about how he apparently uses it on his Honda
Makes me want to go out and embrace my Epic bottle

Beautiful results & pictures! I agree that's a very nice-looking color.
Also, do you have any information on the pump-up aerosol spray bottles in the 4th picture? I would love to get a couple of those.

Phil, you have to admit, $1100 for wax? How many applications are we talking about here? Even with 20% off, that's still quite some change. Can you get 100 applications?

A $1 donation to the San Diego Food Bank can provide 3 meals. The cost of one can of that wax would feed 3 people for a year.
My recommendation to anyone with $1,100 to spend on car wax: Buy a $20 bottle of car wax and give $1,080 to your favorite charity.

Thanks Scott I appreciate it.
Actually, forget "bothered" - I'm downright offended when someone else starts suggesting how I should spend my money, or suggests that any money that I make beyond some arbitrary threshold would be better off with someone else. I donate my time and money to charities, but like anyone else, I also buy things that could be considered "frivolous" (i.e. more than what's required to meet my most basic needs for food, shelter and clothing).
I just received the atomizer bottle I ordered from Detailer's Domain (actually, I ordered two, but the second one was backordered - it's already shipped, though, so I should see it in a few days). The atomizer is *very* well-built and sturdy, and holds a liter and a half. I'll have to get one of the $5 eBay versions to see how it compares, but I'm happy so far.
It puts out a nice fine spray, and 15 pumps is enough to empty out a third of the bottle, so you'll pretty much only have to pump it up once and that'll last you through the job.
One thing that wasn't clear from the directions was what to do when you're finished. The directions say not to leave the bottle pressurized when you store it, and it also says not to remove the bottle from the pump assembly while it's pressurized (which is how I was originally going to release the pressure). There's no relief valve, either.
It turns out that the solution is Barney-simple, which is probably why they didn't bother to put it in the instructions - just turn the sprayer upside-down so that the pickup tube in the bottle is sucking air, and pull the trigger until air stops coming out. Even when the sprayer is fully pumped-up, turning it upside-down and pulling the trigger will depressurize it in just a few seconds.
Also, if you order the "detail sponge kit", don't forget that you ordered it when you unpack the box, because the six sponges are packed loose and look *exactly* like foam packaging/padding blocks!
I nearly threw them away with the box by mistake.

scott,
thanks for the feedback
you can also unscrew the top I believe.
I just leave the bottle pressured.
We will have some cool new foam applicator pads soon added to the site you won't be confused the next time
