    I've had many many friends recommend it for our bikes. Just curious if any of you guys have used it on your trucks...
    Does it work with all the road grime we see?
    How long does it last for you?

    Figured I'd ask in here, since we all own our stuff, and that $80 BB ticket is getting old..

    I was researching this stuff recently too. I found a guy that did a YouTube video comparing 4 different products including F11. The real waxes like Turtle or Mother’s did a much better job. They’re marketing is misleading. This product will not make your vehicle mirror shine like their videos and pictures show. What it is best used for us to start with a clean vehicle, a real wax job, then apply the F11 and it will do its job. It will maintain the showroom shine for much longer than a vehicle without the F11. It is more of a protectant or sealant than a cleaner as their advertising would lead you to believe.

    Just another person trying to suck money out of you. I use Maguires Products for the paint and quick clean, never lets you down. I don't recall the name of the green schmoo we use with the buffet comes in a green quart bottle, you can get it at Sister truckwash in Victorville. Works great, leave the wheels better rhan chrome. Also use the same product on my

    I get that waxing is the best option, but let's be realistic. 200 for a good waxing once a month, is almost no better than 2 washes a month at BB. Theres got to be a better way to keep these bad boys clean... #### white trucks
