Formula 113 Car Wax has made a significant impact on the automotive car care industry over the past 14 years. Wax Daddy’s products were first introduced in 1995 at the Daytona car show called “THE TURKEY RUN” the South East’s largest car show held every year on Thanksgiving weekend. Sales were slow and nobody knew our products so the owner Michael Prisco (Wax Daddy) gave a U haul filled with Formula 113 Car Wax and the Beadx Detail Spray away at the DJ booth.

The following spring , the house phone started to ring and orders started coming in from all over the South East. Based out of just a 2 car garage, Wax Daddy started to fill bottles and went out and bought a new van and got ready for spring time in the North East.

Eventually, word of mouth coupled with extensive marketing at collector car shows, car cruises and collector car auctions put Formula 113 One Step Wax and Sealant and BeadX Detail Spray on the map.

Wax Daddy became infamous for selling the products from a little red wagon filled with Formula113, Beadx and a host of other detailing products at many major car shows all over the North East. Wax Daddy was walking the show fields and asking car enthusiasts if they wanted to see how well these new products worked.

This technique of selling the products was working to build our data base of customers. Many of those customers became dealers for our products. One person in particular was Charlie Aubuchon of Aubuchon Hardware Stores based in Massachusetts. Michael gave Charlie some products for free to try on his Dodge Charger. He was very impressed and we received our first order from Aubuchon Hardware in the spring of 1997.
. Aubuchon Hardware still sells the products in 142 stores and will continue to sell Formula 113 products for years to come. Special thanks to Aubuchon Hardware and our dear friend Charlie Aubuchon for helping through all the ups and downs over the years. And thanks to all our dealers and loyal customers for believing in our products


Formula 113's booth has become a favorite stop with many car enthusiasts because of the loyal customers and Wax Daddy's larger than life personality. Many of our original customers continue ordering our products after 14 years and still stop at our booth, they are family now and we look forward to seeing them at our favorite car shows.

October of 2004 Michael was filming a syndicated TV show called "Addicted to Cars" The show was about 1953-2004 Chevy’s. The show was produced by Ecklers Quality Corvette parts and accessories dedicated to showing the viewer's new products, feature vehicles, how to installations, special modifications, car shows, shop tours and the detailing tip of the week hosted by Wax Daddy.

November of 2004 Michael and his wife Catherine were walking through the SEMA show in Las Vegas when they spotted the legendary custom car builder, George Barris standing next to a Mini Cooper with 2 front ends and a Jacuzzi in the middle. Catherine and Michael had to meet the legendary custom car builders and immediately they walked over and introduced themselves. George Barris was with Vini Bergeman from Ultra Limousine’s based in Southern California. The Mini Cooper was part of a new TV show called “THE KUSTOMIZER” .

George and Vini were overwhelmed by Michael's larger than life personality that they instantly hit it off. Vini began to tell Michael about the TV show that was going to air for the first time on The Discovery Channel on November 22 of 2004.

Michael was invited to Vini's house in California for the Big premier party that Vini was having at his palatial mansion in Orange County, California. Wax Daddy met Tom Jennings and he was immediately impressed with Michael s personality and his Sinatra tribute for all 200 guests at the premiere and he was asked to come back to film new episodes with Vini and the cast of the Kustomizers. Michael drove his 1997 Red Corvette from his house in Florida to California in June of 2005. Wax Daddy was featured on episodes 4&5 of the Kustomizer.

May 2006, George Barris was at Wax Daddy’s booth at the Cruisin Ocean City, MD street rod show. George was on hand to autograph special limited edition bottles of Formula113 with the Double Headed Mini Cooper label and the Beadx labels that sported George Barris’s one of a kind GTO roadster .

December 2008, Michael was again invited by Vini Bergeman to appear at an international car show held in Malaysia. The Kustomizer TV show is still airing around the world and it’s the # 1 show in Malaysia. Vini and Wax Daddy signed 1000’s of autographs at the show. Wax Daddy sang MY WAY for the minister of tourism, Azalina.
