Waxmaster 9000

Post by Steve Simmons »

With a name like Waxmaster, how can you go wrong? :wink:

I'm selling a Waxmaster 9000 orbital buffer. It's barely been used and is in perfect order. It comes with a couple of pads (not pictured). One is terrycloth and the other is a thick "wool" type pad used for buffing or removing wax. I believe the buffer pad size is around 9 or 10 inches.

I paid in the neighborhood of $50-60 for it new a few years ago and it's been sitting in a cabinet since then other than maybe 2 or three uses.

$15 takes it home.

Is that delivered?

But doing the same thing in a car somehow makes it an "accident".

No, there is a delivery charge of one bottle of root beer. That's standard shipping which is subject to carrier availability on your specific route. Priority delivery costs a six-pack of root beer and guarantees shipment within 3 days**. Pick up is free.

** 3 day guarantee is not guaranteed

Root beer?!? How about a six-pack of drinkable stuff?
You have your choice between Caguama, Tecate, and Heineken.
It has to be consumed on the premises, however, as I don't have a liquor license - although not in one sitting.
Oh, and you should probably demonstrate that this apparatus actually works, on one of my vehicles, while I drink beer and watch.

I've had enough of the drinkable stuff. Never did taste as good as a quality root beer.

I can do one better than the demonstration you suggest. I can give you the knowledge and experience to use it properly by personally instructing you while I drink my root beer and sit in your chair. Oh, and you can use my car if you want, so you can save your own car for when you're really good at it. I'll supply the wax.

Not into the drinkable stuff, huh? Well, it's kinda like smoking, I suppose. You gotta puke a few times before you get the hang of it.
Although, you're sure smart to stick with the non-alcoholic stuff.
Either way, we seem to be getting a tad closer in the negotiations. The two major sticking points I see is the root beer (although, if Spitfire buys my gas tank, he's supposed to bring me one, for you) as it'd be a bit of a trek for me to buy one.
Secondly, I'd hate to ruin your car while learning to use the waxy thingy. Especially if you planned on bringing the GT - that's a LOT of sheetmetal.
So, how about three root beers (If I have to go down the hill, I might as well buy several) and you wax my car? As a bonus, I'll let you see pics of my '69 MGB when it was completely naked.

What is your preferred brand of root beer?
I mean A&W is good, but so is Barqs. But then there are the premium brands

I'm not a picky man when it comes to beer of any kind, root or otherwise. Although I do have to say that grocery store brands don't officially qualify as root beer, and Mug is right on the border of being disqualified as well. It's kind of like gasoline versus alco-gas. Sure it works and it even smells the same, but it just isn't right. :wtf:

Boutique root beer?? Okay, I'm severely outclassed now.
Guess I'll never be the proud owner of a Waxmaster 9000.
Sob. Sniffle.

I dunno, I don't want to have to dress up to drink my root beer so I'm not sure if I should order any of that stuff. :pimp:

Ah, a glimmer of hope for me then.
How about three Vons-bought root beers, you wax my car, and (if I'm satisfied with the result) I'll pay you the $15?
I'll even try finding a chair to sit in while learning the tricks.
Waxmaster 9000...mmmm.

I think you need some brushing up on your reading / comprehending skills. :hammer:

Skills? I don't even own a Skil saw (but that's probably a good thing) let alone possess any useful ones.
Guess the negotiations are broken down.

the soda pop stop isn't too far away, and I have walked out with 50 dollars in ginger ales and root beers.

But a real good root beer that can be found at Whole Foods is Virgils. you want the one that is capped with a ceramic top and rubber seal. The twist tops are a different formula. Close but not quite right. The Whole Foods Root Beer is actually decent for a store brand. However I think the least favorite root beer is Jones Soda brand. I like their cola and lemon lime soda, but the root beer just isn't right.
