Yep, same here on the end results. Works the same because it is the same and for about 1/10th the cost. What was that Ben said about the "stupid tax".....?

What is the curing time of this formula and how do you speed it up? Will turning on the headlights or a heat gun be just fine? How have the results been compared to the other headlight formula packages? What type of warranty are you giving with this formula? I have tried the wesleys bleach cleaner and Simple green Concentrate. Seems like it works fine for a cleaner. (Simple green instead of Mean Green?) I wasn't able to fine Formula 83 anywhere. Any helpful advice is appreciated. Thanks for informative posts! (I have a lot of questions!!!)
What type of Helmsman Spar (Gloss, Semi, Satin, etc)?
Is it safe to mix bleach with simple green, does it not emit harmful gases? I no from others who have mixed bleach and certain degreasers (Grease Lighting) that it gave off harmful gases.

You would use the gloss for better shine.
I would not mix bleach. Do what we all do and you will not be buying a paint job like you may using bleach. We are not using Simple green..... It is Mean green. Wallmart or k-mart.

Wesleys Bleach white is bleach so you are telling me you don't mix it with the mean green.

The original formula by Ben is:
(3) parts Wesleys Tire Bleach
(1) part Mean Green (NOT Simple Green)
