I have seen this with FastWax HF, but also with the FastWax sportline
(CH) blue wax too. It may be just a fastwax thing.

Also I have seen Toko pure fluoro sparkles, but not all pure fluoros
sparkle.


My FastWax is old but I recall Dan saying that his wax had more fluoro
in it than the other brands. I wonder if this is an indication of that
and if it's a good thing. I've had his wax be really fast
occasionally---I can't figure out the pattern but then I don't study
this stuff much anymore. It's not really a sparkle that his wax does---
there are smears that irridesce, they shine like flat blue crystal.
Hard to describe. It's only every 10" of waxing, say. I have no idea
what's going on---but when I see it I presume I'm using his fancy
stuff. I also have some of his plain wax. I try to keep em apart and
kind of know what they look like but the 'shimmers' let me know. JP
