whens the earliest you can wax your new car? waxing and detailing are two different things right? whats the difference? all i know is that detailing takes away a coat of the paint?

 

uh, that's a negative. it does strip the paint of any imperfections (like road tar, bug guts, WAX, etc.) After detailing, a wax (and polish if you want) should always be applied.

 

I basically use all Meguiars products I love what they offer. I do have some Zymol wax I used on my other car and it worked pretty good. I would like to test out Zaino's products to see how they compare. Especially their window clear view glass polish, I have waterspots on my windows... gosh the water is so hard here it sucks.

Because the paint is baked, you should be able to wax and polish from the factory. I would actually suggest polishing it to remove shipping grime. I removed a TON of contaminants from mine the week after I bought it by using a light Klasse polish with porter -cable. Might as well make sure the foundation you are waxing is perfect, right?

I used (in this order I think)

KlasseALL-IN-ONE Polish
Meguiars #7 Show Car Glaze
Klasse High Gloss Sealant
Meguires NXT wax
Pinnacle Souveran Paste Wax

and got sloppy wet looking results..The end result looks MUCH deeper than these low-light pics suggest, Sorry, I can't find the originals...









Hope some of that helps.

 

Is there a product out there that you can just put on without the white residue and the hours of arm exhausting buffing....

 

Well, a porter-Cable random buffer makes quick work of ANY product. However, for hands on waxing, nothing Ive ever used has come close to the 'easy on, easy off" application of Pinnacle's Souveran Paste Wax.

It even says on the instructions that there is no need to let it dry (Drying is where you get the "white residue")

 

^^ well for something quick and easy try Meguiar'sSpray Detailer

 

I use the Eagle 1 Nano Wax. Compared to the Nu Polish that i used previously theres a major difference. It also smells great

Heres a link to 7 products of wax that was tested http://forums.roadfly.com/forums/det...5256389-1.html

 

I recently picked up a buffer and a bunch of Tropi-Care products. Used their wash, polish, detail spray, tire cleaner & preserver & love the outcome.

A second vote for Nanowax. Goes on very easily, removes very easily, no white residue whatsoever-- which is what is the most annoying on any dark paint.

 

i use Meguiar's Gold Class on mine...

 

i use nano-wax too. smells awesome and really makes the car shine! really easy to use.

 

I've been general manager of a detail shop for more than three years now and I've tried more waxes than I can count. From my experience, it's all about Meguiar's. NOTHING but Meguiar's nxt generation tech wax touches my tC. It's rather easy to use, and the shine is unbelievable. Plus, there's all sorts of synthetic polymers and all that crap that's supposed to protect your paint.

 

I still have to go with mequirs boat wax I have found nothing tougher and that will last six months on a car yes it is a pain to get off it takes a few rags and a few times going over the car but i even do the glass and it works liek rainx for six months and makes getting snow and ice off your winshield in the winter a breeze it's safe for our cars inexpensive and available at most marine supply and boat stores it is the best carnuaba I have ever found I've been using it for 6 years now an 8 dollar bottle will last you 4 years and it is safe for paint and clearcoat nothing takes on more water than a boat lol. if it's good enough for a boat it's good enough for my scion.

 

i think this detailer has it figured out here on this post try reading this over see what you think.
