View Full Version : Wax, Who uses what? Wnt2Go10o 04-17-2006, 02:14 AM just as the title says guys. also do you clay bar, use paint cleaner, etc.? BLKWS.6 04-17-2006, 08:31 AM Dont use it, I use Hot Flash car polish, takes about 30 minutes to do a car and so far looks superior in gloss to any wax I have previously used. It is $20 a bottle though... Larry 04-17-2006, 08:40 AM Keep you car in a garage at night and you won't need any wax. The new paints/clear coats the factorys use do very well protecting our cars from fade. BLKWS.6 04-17-2006, 12:40 PM Hrmmm...someone's car is going to get shown up big time on cruise night....:) If you were correct Larry, world class show cars would not be so meticulously waxed, they never even SEE sunlight. BLKWS.6 04-17-2006, 12:41 PM It's not about fade, its about shiney and smooth Robert B. 04-17-2006, 01:22 PM NXT here... Quick86 04-17-2006, 01:30 PM NXT here as well. Good stuff.. Top Fuel Friday 04-17-2006, 01:46 PM Cant go wrong with mothers, though when the stang is running it needs some serious paint restoration, definitely going to get the full zano finish after a lot of elbow grease. Larry 04-17-2006, 02:18 PM It's not about fade, its about shiney and smooth I didn't read shiney and smooth in the question. No doubt waxing does smooth the paint. I assumed he was talking about us guys who just want our cars to look good, not show room good! I want to look good and go fast, no show car here... BLKWS.6 04-17-2006, 05:27 PM I think waxing the car is as integral as changing the oil. Different strokes for different folks. IF i had a good paint job i bet i would be a NUT!!! Ling_650vette 04-18-2006, 07:11 PM Meguiars...from soap, to wax. blue302stang 04-18-2006, 07:21 PM Tropi-care...from soap, to wax. I use the porter cable 7424 kit from tropi-care too along with clay bar. Smooth as glass, and use their spray detailer and it feels like it had just been waxed unit213 04-18-2006, 10:03 PM NXT for me...cheap, easy, and it works very well. I'm with Larry. My shit isn't a show car, but I do like it to look decent. It doesn't have to be anywhere near show quality...just clean and shiny is fine by me. Ling_650vette 04-19-2006, 12:47 AM Tropi-care...from soap, to wax. I use the porter cable 7424 kit from tropi-care too along with clay bar. Smooth as glass, and use their spray detailer and it feels like it had just been waxed :rock: on the PC 7424! unit, seeing your pic...it looks like you've got a "show car" as far as the shine goes. That thing looks great. HYBRED 04-19-2006, 02:08 AM Meguiars cleaner wax...since my car is an outdoor car (unfortunately) I need some help getting the tree sap off without breaking out the scotchbright. Tom's_03SVT 04-19-2006, 10:28 PM tropi-care here.... red2003cobra 04-20-2006, 01:29 AM I use a PC 7424 with Poorboy's and ClearKote products. I'm into the show car perfection on my car. Lance HYBRED 04-20-2006, 05:57 PM I use a PC 7424 with Poorboy's and ClearKote products. I'm into the show car perfection on my car. Lance Wish I could keep mine that clean, but trees and birds want otherwise! Tom's_03SVT 05-14-2006, 05:58 AM I use tropi-care. they sell detailing kits, i just bought that. Tom ~JOSHUA 05-15-2006, 07:58 PM Zymol. After waxing give the panel a fine mist of water from a spray bottle and one last buff with a micro fiber towel to "settle" everything... :hail: Glossy Claybar + Zymol + a garage = perfection. :cool: http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b6df34b3127cce96f0788127c200000016108AYuGjhy5buG Stang Man 05-18-2006, 04:30 PM Zaino Bros. here.
