Collector car enthusiasts face an ever changing and evolving market of car care products, parts, and accessories.  With so many options, and opinions, it seems impossible to say which products perform better than the rest.  However, the two products being reviewed here, could arguably be two of the best products of their kind.  I think you will undoubtedly agree.

Carnauba wax lovers take note.  Do you desire a wetter shine or a slickness like no other?  Then this product may be exactly what you are looking for.  Poorboys has a new, limited edition, carnauba wax that is second to none.  Natty's Red Paste Wax has been developed to be the best wax you will ever use and will give your car a deep, glossy, liquid shine with less effort than before.  Natty's Red Paste Wax combines added, patented UV absorbers along with the natural, protective properties of carnauba, for a long-lasting paint protection that others can not match.  Natty's Red Paste Wax can be applied by hand or polisher with results that have yet to be seen in a wax. 

There have only been two downfalls to Natty's Red Paste Wax that I have found.  One is that all imperfections in your paint or finish will show through the wax coat.  Light swirl marks may be hidden but bad ones seem to be magnified due to the wet, glossy look.  The other downfall is that only 1000 tubs of Natty's Red Paste Wax have been produced, so supplies are limited.

One 8 oz. tub will cost you around $22.00 (plus shipping) and can be purchased online at www.poorboysworld.com  Also available are the original Natty's Paste Wax and Natty's Blue Paste Wax for darker color cars.

Giddy up, giddy up, giddy up...409.”  The Beach Boys made it famous, now, Edelbrock has a new product designed to renew the potential of Chevy's original big block engine.  The Performer RPM aluminum cylinder heads for the Chevrolet 348/409 “W” motor, will blow you away.  Designed for the serious drag racer, street cruiser, or hot rodder, these heads offer Edelbrock's time honored quality and an increased performance at the 1500-6500 RPM range.  Although Edelbrock has improved the port design, the port locations and valve angles remain the same so they bolt right up to your existing block.  These heads feature screw in rocker arm studs that are far superior to the pinned and pressed studs on the original heads of the 60's.  These heads also feature hardened spring cups and guide plates allow for a greater durability.  Available for purchase now, the Edelbrock Performer RPM heads will set you back $823 each (bare) and $1,075 each (fully assembled with springs and 2.19/1.72 stainless valves).  Edelbrock has designed and recommends their RPM Dual Quad Intake Manifold for use with these Performer Heads.  These products are available for purchase through the Edelbrock catalog or go to www.edelbrock.com to find a online dealer or a retail dealer near you.
