You are too funny Vishal. Just look at the wax! My friend had a jar, and the wax was literally falling out of the jar because it is so pastey. Go and buy some higher quality products.

LOL! I would say use that stuff to wash and wax your floors maybe.... nah not even the floor. Just return it or throw it away. That stuff is probably the worst product ever. You spent 80K + on the car, i think you can afford to spend a few bucks more for some quality car care products, i.e (meguiars, pinnacle, Zaino, Klasse, P21S)... Use Turtle wax on stuff its made for, waxing turtles .

vishal he was kidding... Anyway, what you can buy locally is S100 wax. You can find this at your local harley davidson shop. SUPER easy to apply and wipes right off. I love the stuff. You probably should buy some quality 100% cotton towels made in USA (fieldcrest or something) @ kmart or something like that. This will make your life a lot easier. Also to wash your car buy a gallon of gold class car wash available at Target for 9.99. However, i would still rather purchase online cause there is some stuff you just can't get locally. Also, zaino cannot be purchased online anyway, only by sending a check or some distributors take CC over the phone. Call Sal, maybe there is a distributor somewhere near u in texas!

You don't need the Porter Cable unless you plan on some serious polishing.

There is a distributor in Texas (Frisco, TX) I ordered from two days ago. He took CC over phone and only charged $3.95 shipping for an $80 order. I received the product the next day via UPS ground. His name is Steve, and his number is 972-743-9443.
