Stu, I have been using those for AX and they are pretty durable....not sure if they are Steel or what ? I doubt they are Aluminum tho.

Based on what I read, the material is a type of steel. I really like the Kics ones since they have the aluminum part that seats on the wheel and doesn't spin. Although I don't know how much better that really is. I guess the steel means it's stronger, but the aluminum is less likely to damage the wheel where it comes in contact?

Definitely, probably later this week. I've got a few things to do Monday-Tuesday. Trying to get back into the flow of things after being gone a month. That will also give me time to get all my stuff together and make sure the towels and such are clean.

I remember the post, but not quite sure if Travis wants it repeated. Ninja edit got it pulled before most saw it. I think you and I were the only ones to see it. LOL

They have ONR wash & wax now too. Normally I feel like those are gimmicky, but I wouldn't think these guys would come out with something that doesn't work. I wonder if you can use it like the blue ONR and then wax on top for extra protection?

+2 on the detail, Stu.

The CTS and my Z need a good wax -- maybe you can knock them both out in the same day. Let me know when you are free!
