Would this be a good time to bring up Leverage vs the world of other products? That discussion is usually as good as Apache vs the world in 6' seas, or Fountains vs every boat 4' shorter without a beak....

Sorry, first day off work in a month and the gulf is too churned up from Mathew for boating (I need an Apache).

Back to being serious in my derail- prayers to all impacted by Mathew

Is the product difficult to use , or is it another issue, as not selling to the public?

There's a school of thought that what's most important isn't which wax you use, but that you use it. I know a lot of folks who just don't wax enough. I'm a fan of 2-3 waxings per season here in the mid-Atlantic. Has done well. I've used the 3M Marine Wax and been happy. Only adding the lightest of their grit products when needed, which has been rare.

The pro grade product is actually way easier to use. If only the public knew how garbage the over the counter stuff was... The pros have to have easier more efficient product to use, their time and $$ and livelihood are on the line.

We don't focus on the public much, heck we even sell Meguires stuff that is pro line, not over the counter Walmart/west marine garbage. It's a whole different animal like night and day

Before I sold the product, I had a detail business for 12 years.

I also use this product. Works great, lasts, and is easy to use.

I never said other stuff didn't work, I said what we are about and what people who do it for a living use is different.

And garbage in comparison to the pro grade stuff... And I will say most isn't as good, not all.
