Make that Armor shine! Sandies not included.

Post by Firebat »

Hey all. I was sitting around and thought i'd make a post. I posted this on JRS. Not sure if others use this, but I do.

Its called Turtle Wax Ice. Its a liquid wax. Best part is it doesnt haze and dry white. So you can use it on the armor, hoses, even Laws rubber shoulder strapes and make em black. Adds a nice wet looking smooth shine on any armor.

i have to re wipe as it seperates and looks oily ... so its kida a job to do twice ... most times i dont even bother as its kinda getting beat up and looks like ive been in the battle :)

but the no white residue .. it may work for me .. ill have to source it out down here :thumbs:
i'm so far from normal.
