Default W00t, my Agency and Turtle Wax are in the news.

http://www.suntimes.com/output/lazar...fin-lew22.html

In today's Sun Times, they gave a blurb to Turtle Wax about the new 'facelift' and a small nod to my Agency. Kinda Cool since my Father and I have been working on this for almost 2 years now

I wouldn't say that Turtle Wax blows, but you got my feedback from the stuff that you gave me last year. Needs some tweaking to be better. . .

Thanks guys, while I know the stigma of whats on sale now, I really do like the new Platinum series and this new wheel cleaner they got coming out around the corner.

They also have some new chemists working on some new formulas that are on the table right now. As the summer progresses some new and very much improved chemical will be put to the test for sale.

If you ever see an opening for something that I could do at TW, you'll let me know, right? Like for a product tester or something. . .

Product testers are mostly the people who stupidly park in the spots the scientist have marked as theirs

Once it gets nice out, I usually make my way to the storage room and steal a few boxes for the summer months. I'll let you know if I can get my hands on the new chemical for wheels. Its supposedly really really impressive.

Yes, we do have something for a car as extreme as yours and really needs paint restoration...

All you do is apply once and...



...add a match

This makes me envision the scientists as the tough guys of the Turtle-Wax company culture. New employee orientation would include something like:

"You don't mess with the scientists. See that lump of wax in the corner of that parking spot? That mark means its a scientist's spot, and YOU don't park there."

But he/she still would because, seriously, who would think to be afraid of a scientist? Then you can imagine the horrors when, after coming out of the building after his/her workday, it is disovered that the car has been... WAXED! But not just by any wax, no. This is top secret prototype wax. The new employee then falls to his/her knees in the parking lot screaming "NOOOOOOO!!!!" with fists clenched.

The lesson learned the hard way: Don't mess with scientists.

Yeah, you go to work with a dirty car then when leaving work, only the hood of your car is shinny, the rest is still dirty.

Oh, well that sounds a little worse than what I was envisioning. Still, part of your car being clean and shiny is better than none of it!

How about this: The next day, back into the spot. Then you'll come out and have a clean and shiny trunk lid!
