   My guess is he is calling a coated nail "gas and wax".

   Brights means a bright common nail. (uncoated)

   Galv = galvanized

   I can get all 3 in coils for my gun, galv and coated being the most common.

   I usually buy galvanized for the same reason as "Florida" brings up. They last longer here although I think coated have a higher pull out strength.

   we use galvies here - esp when  around any kind of PT lumber.
