Update:
I have not updated Mac's Wax website lately.
Why?
Because I'm filling orders!
Not just from my website, but also from my eBay sales.
I have not had a single return - not a single complaint whatsoever! This is a great sign; people are happy with the choices that I've made and the quality of the products.
I still have the GLOSSIEST tire shine on the market and my "Green Lightning" waterless wash & wax has more wax than any comparable product I've tested so far- bar none!
There are advantages to being IN THE LAB when your personal chemist mixes your wash & wax. Even more so when your chemist is right here in the good ol' USA and not on mainland China!
This is yet another reason why Mac's Wax products are a good choice: All products are made right here in the United States.
Try my Tire Shine and Green Lightning - you will be 100% satisfied!

How "Mac's Wax" was Born
If someone were to draw a map of my life's course, it would look somewhat like an old oak tree. There are a lot of branches heading off in different directions. Some of those branches are now quite dead, while others hang on and are nourished by the anchor that is the trunk of my life's tree.
But this trunk is very strong and full of life.
"Mac's Wax" is just the latest branch to grow out of that base trunk. You see, only a few things have withstood the test of time in my 50+ years. One is my belief in God. Another is my unconditional love for family - no matter what happens. Another is a lifelong love of all living things - especially dogs - but more so Golden Retrievers. I'm not candidate for PETA, but I'd go way out of my way to save an animal in distress.
But there's one more thing that has always been a huge part of my life; cars.
I love cars. All kinds of cars. When I was a teen I even loved Gremlins, Pintos and Vegas.
Why?
Because every car has its own personality. This was especially true in the 1960s and 70s, when cars weren't just cookie-cutters with the same colors, options and shapes. Back then, every car had different options, interior and exterior color combos and a variety of engine and transmission choices. It made car buying complicated, but it also made it fun.
So, when I was old enough to drive, my father sold me a car for one dollar. In Massachusetts there had to be a payment rendered to transfer a vehicle title. So, I bought the car for a buck, but I don't seem to remember actually paying him for it. (Sorry, Dad.) The car was a chocolate brown, 1963 Chevy Impala SS two-door convertible with a 283-cid V-8 and 2-speed automatic.
You'd think that the first thing I would have done once I got it registered was to take it for a cruise, but not me. I parked it and broke-out the wash bucket, soap, sponges and towels. I washed it, dried it, cleaned out the trunk and interior and gave it a vacuuming. After that I Windexed all the glass and scrubbed the whitewall tires with some Fantastic house cleaner.
Then I was ready to go for a drive.
This car was very faded and oxydized, but I didn't know about polishes and compounds, so I waxed it and waxed it and became very frustrated at the results. The car couldn't shine because the paint had a white haze over it. For this reason, when the transmission broke (from my abusive attempts to "leave rubber") I simply lost interest in her. I feel badly now, because that 283 engine ran like a top.
My next car was a 1968 Pontiac GTO convertible. This car had a fresh coat of Carousel Red on it (a '69 color), which looked red at night and orange during the day. Pretty neat.
But that GTO never saw the light of day without a coat of wax on it. In fact, I probably had several coats of wax on it. This was when my true love of cleaning, polishing, waxing and detailing my cars was born. It has stayed with me for 35 years.
I've owned several American muscle cars since then, along with some GM mid-sized cars and a lot of Chevy trucks. All of these vehicles received regular washings and countless applications of wax.
Waxing a Car is my path to true Meditation
It sounds kind of corny or lame, but it's true; I truly enjoy the whole process of cleaning and waxing a vehicle. It calms my soul and puts my mind at ease. The end result is always a reward - that feeling of pride in my car or truck. As I work, I often feel "at one" with the vehicle and sometimes I even feel that it enjoys being groomed. Like most men, I tend to have a close relationship with my vehicles.
This is why I sell wax.
I test every wax I sell. If it's not good enough for me, then why would I sell it to you?
Being a working guy, I know that most people can't spring 50-80 bucks for a premium tin of pure Brazilian Carnauba wax, so I have searched and Googled and made phone calls and studied waxes, polishes and the different formulations of natural waxes and polymers that are out there.
I really do test the waxes and polishes I sell. This is why my waxes are all carnauba-based, my polishes are all clear coat safe with UV protection and my interior dressings are oil-free with only a low-to-medium sheen. And everything sells for under $20.
But take a closer look.
My products are fun too! I mean, my Butter Wet Wax smells like bananas, my Wicked Cherry Wet smells like cherry candy and my Laser Buff Purple Scratch and Swirl Killer smells like grape Kool-Aid.
This is good stuff. All of these products are the result of the latest in car care technology and all are guaranteed to perform above expectations.
Who says wax and polish has to be boring?
So...I enjoy using wax, testing wax and selling wax. I love trying the newest products from the chemical companies who sell to me. And because I don't care about glossy black boxes with neon lettering, fancy-shaped bottles with full-color labels and big ad campaigns (you're thinking: "as if he could afford them...), I can sell you some very, very good wax at a very decent price. Sure, you can still get a cheaper bottle of wax at your local Walmart or Auto Zone, but you can't get the great wax that I'm selling inside those fancy bottles.
This blog explains why you should wax your own car and why you should also buy Mac's Wax.
See you next week!
