Many years ago ran a warehouse, next building over a company sold airplane wax.  Basically was a softened carnuba wax in a flat can.  Couple of guys came over one day & gave me 2 cans.  Best stuff I ever used for longevity & had a decent shine, a PITA to apply when compared to more conventional wax.  It was not that expensive, used it for years.  Several companies make carnuba wax products, including Turtle wax.  If you have the time & don't mind "wax on, wax off efforts" it's reliably good stuff.

Do you remember the name of the airplane wax?  Looking for something good for the plane.

Do you remember the name of the airplane wax?  Looking for something good for the plane.

Had to Google to find it.  It was called "Slipstream" and manufactured by Classic Wax in Arlington, Texas.  It was sold by Western Auto stores.  all out of business as best I can tell.  It was moderately priced, went on easy enough.  Had to use some elbow grease to remove the film but the shine lasted a very long time.  Bugs came off easily, good slick surface.

Attached a couple of pics I found here & below.

Have used Classic Deep Crystal Carnauba by Mothers & it works ok.  My experience with Slipstream was in the 1970s & 80s, nowhere near as many products on the market back then.  I recall the sales pitch the Classic Wax guys used - carnauba lasts longest and they used a "softened" version which made it easier to apply.

Somebody else may know of something better out there, good luck on finding what you need for your plane.

I use Mother’s liquid synthetic wax about every 2 months and Bug Slide to get bugs off when I don’t feel like washing.  Haven’t found nothing that replaces the chore of waxing...

I just used Top Coat F11. My initial impression is wow. Shine is deep and surface is very smooth and slick. A friend that stores his bike in my garage bought the stuff so the price is at least right for me. I will update later and tell you how well it holds up
BigChuck, any update on your results with F11?

Sorry for the new thread.  Just saw one from awhile back.  I ordered a bottle, we'll see if it's all blow and no show.

Cowboy

Tried it once, I have a couple of bottles that I would sell!!  Royal Blue is a much better detailer and a lot less $.  Don't bother with this product is my recommendation.
