Alright alright I got it.

To the tune of "One Week" by the Barenaked Ladies. Beat this!!

It's been
One week since I used the wax,
Cocked my head and said "might as well use Ajax"
Five days since you laughed at me,
Saying "get some new polish, come back and see me"
Three days since the heavy rain,
Time to wax again, man this is such a pain
Yesterday you'd let me know,
It'll just be two days 'till I need more Zaino

Hold it now and watch the hood shine,
Like it could stop time,
You'll think you're looking at a wine glass
I'll charge admission and my mission is to listen to it glisten, if you're missin' it
Make sure to buy a season pass.
Hot like wasabi when I bust rhymes,
'bout how my car shines,
Because I'm all about values
Mike Prisco's got the mad wax,
I bet he wins plaques,
I'd even use it on my dress shoes
F113 at the car shows,
And everybody knows,
Formula 113 holds true.
Gonna take the time, put some on mine
I'd like it shinin' blindin' fine
I this Formula's the finest of the flavors,
Go to car shows, cause then you'll know
The vertigo is gonna grow
Cause it's so blinding bright, you'll have to sign a waiver

How can I help it that I'm shinin' and you ain't?
Bringing new life to my 11-year-old paint
I'm the kind of guy who laughs at a car show
When I see him waxing a nice car with Zaino
I have a tendency to wax my car with my sleeve,
I have a tendency of using my shirt

It's been
One week since you looked at me
Threw your arms in the air and said 'You're crazy'
Five days since I used the stuff,
My car's still shiny, yours looks a little rough
Three days since the afternoon
You've used some Meguiar's and need some more, so soon
Yesterday you'd let me know
It'll just be two days 'till you need more Zaino

Trickity Trans-Am, the T/A's blindin'
Have a free sample and your car is shinin'
Watchin' my car with no lights on,
Cuz with the brights on,
I hope your sunglasses are good ones
That Mother's wax stuff makes me frantic,
113's tantric
Like Snickers, guaranteed to satisfy
That Zaino junk leaves white films,
This stuff don't leave films
Thanks Mr. Prisco, what a guy!
Man I love this stuff a whole bunch,
I skipped today's lunch
To wax my Firebird, no lie!
Needed a better set of wax, Mike cut me some slack
Just so my thirdgen ain't always sitting there looking plain
Gotta get in tune, need some more soon,
Cuz 113 has got the boom brilliant shine you could see from an airplane

How can I help it that I'm shinin' and you ain't?
Bringing new life to my 11-year-old paint
I'm the kind of guy who laughs at a car show
When I see him waxing a nice car with Zaino
I have a tendency to wax my car with my sleeve,
I have a tendency of using my shirt

It's been
One week since you saw my ride
Saw me sitting next to it with great pride
Five days since I laughed and said
My car's alive and yours is looking pretty dead
Three days since you used that junk
Now I see you're storing it inside of your trunk
Yesterday you just smiled at me
Cuz in two more days you'll use Formula 113
In two more days you'll use Formula 113
In two more days you'll use Formula 113
My car now looks so fresh and so clean....

Haha i was trying to write something to eminem - lose yourself

this is all i came up with in 30 minutes and it is kinda cheesy so i gave up :P

Eminem
Lose Yourself

Look, if you had one wax, I mean the best wax,
And it could shine everything you ever wanted-Just one wax,
You would use that shieet and wouldn’t let it slip right?

Yo, his paint looks heavy, no shine, not too steady
There’s cake up in his emblems already, not too pretty
He’s nervous, his car just doesn’t seem all that ready
To take home, that trophy at the show
The wax he used, boy he must have been abused
He didn’t use his braino, and now he’s stuck with zaino
He’s crying, and suddenly the sun comes out,
And a light appears, it’s Michael, look oh wow!


so maybe if you thinks it's good i can just get one bottle out of that case, hahaha

I can't rap but if I got a case of f113 I would be in debt forever to you, I am a broke high school kid that does everything I can to keep my car in the best of shape, I will use it on my car in the 110* weather, and will reccomend it to everyone I talk to...I know this is boring but help a broke kid out. btw my camera sucks.

I still like my American Pie but ...

... here's another one for $hit$ and grins.

Sung to Little Red Corvette
By the idiot formally known as prince

I guess I shoulda known by the way
U waxed your car with Zaino
That it wouldn't last
See you're the kinda person that
believes in wastin’ money
But Zaino is in the past
I guess U must be dumb
'Cuz U had a shelf full of waxes
Even Mother’s and some of it used
But it was Saturday night,
Your ride was lookin’ alright
And U say there’s no way I’m gonna lose?
Hey dummy I say

Formula 113
Baby you're much 2 fast
Formula 113
U leave a shine that's gonna last

You were the only one surprised
When U didn’t even place
’Cuz your paint looked a little dull
I said I told you so
And offered you a sample
Of the Formula that always works well
Believe it or not
I started to worry
I wondered if you’d give it a chance
The next Saturday night,
You pulled up next to me at the light
And said, "Man, look at my paint dance!"
Oh yeah

Formula 113
Man this stuff’s got class
Formula 113
It leave’s a shine that's gonna last

A shine like yours
Oughta be in jail
'Cuz it's on the verge of bein' obscene
Move over Zaino, here comes 113
I'm gonna polish your
little red love machine

Formula 113
Baby you're much 2 fast
Formula 113
U leave a shine that's gonna last
Formula 113
Honey U got 2 tone it down
Formula 113
'Cuz if U don't u gonna run
competition right in to the ground

ahem..

I was cruzin the streets just the other day
when I saw my cousin teddy lookin for some play
I said Yo, what you doin after you looking all tough
he said Im yo waxin up my car with the zaino stuff
Zaino? How much did you pay for that junk?
200 bucks he said , but it works like a punk
Cant use it in the sun , only in the shade
but its too bad thats the way all waxes are made
I said, ahem, not all ,you try 113
you talk to a guy named Prisco hell send you some for free
For free, he said, thats a bunch of bull
I bet the stuff dont work and makes my paint real dull
I said no wait , ill show you, lets go to the Show
I guarentee you wont use Zaino No mo
So on the way there I rapped to him a lil
I said yo this stuffs gonna make him a mil
We here Yo, lets look at that Fly Chevy
Sweet, he said, I bet the wax is heavy
So we high fived the owner asked what hes running
113 for me player, its got the competition gunning
Realize ive tried every wax known to man
Ive tried the Zaino Junk , even the stuff in the can
But this 113 stuff is simply the best,
Here you go teddy put it to the test
Ill give you a bottle , Ill pass on the necktar
Soon youll see the light in all new vecors
Soon your camaro be the slickest I know
Put on 2 coats and for sure youll win the show
You best be carefull though sometimes it gets a little slick
and sometimes it just feels like playing a trick
It will sneak out your garage the rumble and all
And become a mirrior all the way to the mall
People will see thier own car, and the sky too
Theyll wonder how a red car can possibly be blue
Youll be in the seat smiling from ear to ear
Your cars gonna shine every time of year
So we took the free bottle and headed to my gate
It was time to test it, I could hardly wait
We just put it on and rubbed it right off
Wow, said teddy as he said with a cough
this is better than zaino Ive got a new wax
im buying a case today no matter the tax
Wait I forget , where Do I get this stuff
I said simple do you got a pen Mr Tough?
Its formula113.com is that simple enough?
Buy yourself a case, in fact go ahead and buy two
well need a bunch more for Zaino guys like you

Zeppelin Y'all

There's a lady who knows
my car glitters like gold
and shes trying to get a free sample.
When she gets there, she knows,
if the stores are all closed,
with one word she can get some from Prisco.

If you need wax put on your car now, dont be alarmed now,
An easy job for the one-thirteen,
Yes there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run,
theres stil time to throw the zaino out.

And as we ride on down the road,
our fenders glowing as we roll,
There's just one wax that we all know,
that shines like light or so im told.
And im buying the Formula 113.



more to come, ive got all night at work to think.....

I just bought some wax,
I tryed some Zaino wax and it aint nothing but crap,
Thought it would shine, i couldnt even get blind,
even if the sun was shining in my eyes,
Called up Mike to get a sample kit tonight,
got it in the mail it was faster then a snail,
I tryed some 113 in the sun light, i couldnt even believe it came off so lite, I dunno, thats all i got, maybe later i can win a box of 113


LOL thats all i got guys, that took me 10mins to think of all that and i know certian parts dont go right but i never have freestyled or whatever.

All i know is that 113 is so far the best wax ive used. it went on nicely and came off easy as all hell even in the sun light on my black paint. when i get the chance im goin to try and buy a case of this wax. I figured i would try the sample from what Mike was saying back when he first posted the free samples back when he first got on this board. good stuff Mike, keep up the work.

The King is back ...

... o.k. I'll bite.

King of Rock
Run DMC

I'm the king of wax, there is none higher
Mother’s and Zaino should call me sire
To earn first place, don’t use Maguire’s
I won't stop shinin' till I retire

Now I waxed the Roc and came correct
Got the right to vote and will elect
Prisco has the right and will collect
That 113 shine gets much respect


113 - Lean, mean shining machine!

If you want bragging rights
you gotta keep your car bright
use formula one thirteen
n you'll be blinded all night

Keep it mean
Keep it clean
And be seen
With formula one thirteen

You could buy Zaino
but then your car won't flo
you can't take it to a show
so why even blow
all that money on zainO

I would tell the mass
that formula one thirteen
will get you ***

So let it be known
f113 is the best
and put the others to rest

Be seen
Use formula 113.

THE WAR HAS STARTED OVER AT THE Z28 SITE.

Mikels and hvcone are always ragging on my ***. I have not been on any of those sites like camaroz28 or the corvette forum because I have to busy selling my products. You guys can say what you want, its always the same crap. The guru reports is tainted and 34 is pretty bad. Lets have a contest and let the crowd decide.

I will go heads up with any product any time. from old paint to new paint. ANY TIME. Lets do it so we can put the bull crap to rest.

I will be at the corvette forum cruisin in Bowling green. SO BRING IT. BRING THE GURU REPORTS AND BRING SOME VASOLINE, YOU KNOW WHAT FOR RIGHT.


This is directed at the mikels and carl, I figure if I post it here they will see it.


I like giving stuff away, there is nothing wrong with it, it is not five years old. I believe in my products, thats why I give it away.

It cost me money to send samples, the next batch will cost $500 bucks or more to send. I dont see any other company giving away there products for free testing. Its better then paying big bucks for advertising, I put the products right in the end users hands, NO HYPE, NO SPECIAL ADDITIVES, NO BULL, THE PRODUCTS WORK, AND LETS NOT FOROGET THE BEADX.

The reason why I do this on the thirdgen site is because the moderators have let me. I think we are having some fun with the testimonials and the rapping. I hope you guys agree. I dont think that the zaino products suck, just some of the guys who hustle it.


I have not bothered with mike or carl, I happen to go to the camaroz28 site just to find out if any thing is being said about my products or me, and also just to see what new products are popping up, THATS IT.

YOU GUYS NEVER LET IT REST, I DID A LONG TIME AGO, BUT YOU HAVE STARTED WITH ME AGAIN.


HERE ARE SOME LOVELY POST I have saved over the years.
This one was done by a regular guy who did a fair test. Not like guru reports were alot of the scoring was based on availabilty not performance. Note the beadx was the only one that got points for use on glass. This one is about 3 years old.

PLEASE READ, ENJOY

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
QUICK DETAILER SHOOTOUT RESULTS

(void of product-specific comments and specific category scores)

TEST VEHICLES

Each quick detailer product was tested on two vehicles of different color and with slightly different surface car regimens:

2000 Nissan Frontier Crew Cab SE V6, Super Black. Regular surface care regimen includes 3M IHG, Klasse sealant and Blitz One Grand.

1999 Nissan Maxima SE, Lakeshore Blue. Regular surface care regimen includes M #7, #20, #26.


TEST METHOD

All products were applied in a covered garage under fluorescent and halogen lights. Each product applied on days when temperature was between 60-75 F. Relative humidity on test days ranged between 52% and 73%. Products were applied to the surface of each vehicle using the bottles in which the products arrived or were purchased. Spreading/removing/buffing of the product was accomplished using Miracle Towels.

Products were scored using the following criteria:

1. Cleaning properties: ability to remove "fresh" surface contaminants, such as water spots, bird droppings, bugs, sap, etc. 10 points possible.

2. Ease of use: products received a higher score if they did not smear, require significant buffing or otherwise leave a filmy haze. 10 points possible.

3. Shine: each product was evaluated on its ability to augment the reflectivity and depth of color of the painted surface. 10 points possible.

4. Longevity: this test was omitted as it seemed to prove irrelevant. Each car is washed on average once a week and quick detailed twice a week. Difficult to prove or disprove a products longevity. One note however, carnauba based detailers do seem to prolong the durability of a carnauba top layer of wax. Various bonus points available, 3 points max.

5. Glass test: this test was discontinued as most detailers created a terrible mess on glass that required significant work to remove and clean up. Only one product faired well on glass and receives bonus points for its performance in this category. Up to 2 bonus points available, awarded only to one product.

6. Value: various points awarded based on performance relative to price. Up to 2 bonus points available and awarded to select products.


ABBREVIATED RESULTS

(Category scores and product specific comments forthcoming). Additional thoughts regarding carnaubas vs. synthetics also forthcoming.

Pinnacle Crystal Mist 30 pts.
Eimann Fabrik Clear Pearl 29 pts.
BeadX 29 pts.

Ok I am through with 2 coats of z-5 and one z-2. I like the shine but I do think that the shine on the 113 is better BUT!!! I think there is a big difference on shine and a mirror effect. The zaino definately has a mirror effect on the paint. I can see myself much sharper and clearer in the paint than with anything else I have used including the 113. The zaino also beads water like nothing esle i have seen before. Here is my initial rating for all of the things that I can think of to compare between 113 and zaino!!! The reason i compare these two is because they are the best that I have found!!!!.everything is rated 1-10 and I am rating 2 coats of z-5 and one coat of z-2 with z-6 wipe inbetween each coat compared to one coat of f113 and beadx wipe afterward.
ZAINO F113
Shine 6 10
Depth 9 9
Swirl/scratch cover 5 9
Mirror effect 10 5
Longevity 9 4
Price 3 7
Work/Time involved 2 9
Feel of paint 9 7
Water Bead 10 6
visible residue 9 10

KALE, Not trying to start anything but have you ever used 113????? I have used both. I am not saying that 113 is not abrasive because I am no chemist and I cannot tell that!!! I can tell you this though I HAVE USED IT and as far as the abrasiveness of it it is not great at all. I had two scuff marks from my shoes that looked the same on my ground effects and on one of them I used the 3m swirl remover that everyone recommends and it came off with little pressure or rubbing. I then figured since everyone makes out that f113 is sandpaper on here that I would try it and see if it had the same effect. I had to rub for 10 minutes really hard to get that mark off. Also a friend of mine sideswiped a wicker basket in his driveway and we tried useing the 113 to get the paint from it off and after about an hour or so of work we had not accomplished anything. Took out the 3m and it removed it in about 5 minutes!!!!!! I thinks that tells you how abrasive that is. The point is I HAVE USED BOTH PRODUCTS AND I WAS JUST GIVING MY HONEST OPINION as to what I have seen out of both!!!! There are two many people on this board bashing products they have never used. I never have and never will bash zaino. BUT AT LEAST I HAVE USED IT!!!!

Shine = Glare------ that is what I meant.
I agree that Micheal sometimes gets a little over anxious about his product. Buy I know why he acts the way he does it cause everyone is a zaino addict here and he cant take the heat. I could care less, I have nothing to gain from f113 doing well or zaino doing well. I was thinking about it a second ago and I think that I figured out the main difference why I havnt had the best results with zaino. I dont have a garage just a driveway and I cant leave my car sitting in there for days while I do multiple coats of zaino. I think that if you had a garage and a second car to drive while you were doing the other (i cant steal my wifes car she needs it) then you could have awesome results with zaino. But for the daily driver car that doesnt have a shileded place to sit and chill for a while zaino may be a bit much. I like both products but I think one reason I may be such a critic of zaino is because eveyone on this board talks about the stuff like its painting a clear coat on your car again. I may have been expecting too much???? Also the price For for zaino was more than quadruple the price of f113 I was expecting quadruple the results. Im gonna see if I cant get my dads garage he has in a shop of his and use it for a week or so and just do zaino application I am not going to give up just not as happy with it as I expected to be!!!! Kale , you ought to try the f113 and see what you think!!! Shoot you can call them and get them to send you a free sample then if you dont like it at least you know for sure.
Oh and just a little defense of Micheal. You havent seen how people get treated on here that promote 113 all your post gets deleted, you names get revoke, you ip addresses get revoked shoot they even have f113 if you spell it out with the formula blocked as a curse word. Luckily I know how to rebound cause this is my 5th account here!!!! All i did was come on and say that f113 is good and my post would get deleted and names and ip's blocked.
Im not a retailer of zaino or 113 i just want to know what the best product out there for my car is and I will search until I find it. If someone got on here tonight and said that if you used skin so soft for wax it was better than anything else I would probably try it on a section and see for myself. So far the f113 definately wins for first coat application L@@ks, ease of use and price which are key factors in my book!!!!

I will decide today or tonight when I get a chance to read them again, maybe print them out and read them to my staff.

I have to run, its 8:30 am , I will decide tonight and post the winners, and maybe 2nd and 3rd place winners will win a bottle of each.

Thats cool.

Thanks for the laughs.

The guys on the camaroz28 site said I give it away because I cant sell it. LOL

FORMULA113 WORLD WIDE DISTRIBUTION IS COMING.

ENJOY THE SHINE, DRINK SOME WINE BECAUSE ITS ALMOST PARTY TIME. REVENGE IS SWEET.

I love how 85% of the content has absolutely nothing to do with the subject matter and then you just throw it in. Typical rap flap. That's why I don't listen to it - ZERO CONTENT.

Yea i don't know why people started so called "rapping"

anyone can sit behind there monitor and write a mother goose poem, but when your on the mic you suddenly realize what a joke you are.. not saying any of you cant freestyle(which i HIGHLY doubt).. but ya like he said about 90% of this stuff is stupid, get on topic or dont bother posting.. wasted space.. go to a wigger freestyle forum.

Aiight I'm back on the scene but your rhymes is mad whack,
I'm comin' back in to take the win back,
I'm takin' the show so you might as well pack,
Waxin' my car from light gray back to black.
Wipe it all down from front to behind,
Drive through your hood and yo' boyz hit rewind,
Glance at my car and do a double take,
Restoring that shine was a piece of cake,
They're all there debating how much money I make,
And how getting it so clean must be such a headache.
But back to reality, I ain't tryin' to be mean,
But the answer to your questions is F-one-thirteen.
