Waxing Poll

[zmanrc]

My father-in-law owns a high end detail shop. Uses nothing but DuraGloss liquid products, amazing stuff! I used it for years until last year when I tried the new Meguires Tech Wax (liquid). This stuff is hands down the best I have ever used. I will gladly pay $15 a bottle even though I can get the Duragloss from the father-in-law for free.

I use Ardex Topaz "yellow paste wax" it's inexpensive and it's the best stuff i have found so far...that and the can has a 4th gen LT1 camaro outline on it

I have found this stuff works great for sure.

Also for a quick wax job i use that spray stuff. It does allright.

Can you use paste with a Random Orbital buffer?

[klrlt1]

Not that Ive seen. Anythings possible I guess.

Its not the wax that gives the shine.. its the prep work

Clay bar, polishing compoud (machine), ... then wax

This guy knows his stuff! It's like putting make-up on a pig. You can apply all of the wax you want but if you have dull, scratched, contaminated, ect.. paint you will still have it just now you have wax on top of it.

Can you use paste with a Random Orbital buffer?

Yes. There are several ways. One, you can pop the wax out of the container and rub it on the foam pad. Two, you can use a butter or putty knife to spread it on the pad. Three, and is what I do, is I apply the wax by hand first and then go over the car with a DA and waxing pad to even out the wax and get a smooth coat on.

Hell yea that stuff is awesome, i don't like liquid wax, b/c wax is a solid, paste is better!

Some paste waxes are better than some liquids and visa versa. There are tons of synthetic liquid sealants out there that blow away paste waxes but there are also some paste waxes that I think are better than sealants.

depends on how the car looks but i know before my spring break ends, i'll be using 3m clean cut, followed by 3m micropolishing compound, and then a healthy dose of zaino, all done by a wheel. I like liquid waxes, but i do notice that some of the pastes do produce better results. I found zaino at an auto zone near me so i snatched it up and i love it. Smells really good too.

Yeah Really are you for Hire?

I've almost always used liquid, though I did do paste a couple times a couple years ago. However, last year for my birthday my brother & sister in law bought me a bunch of detailing stuff and in it was the new Meguiar's NXT Spray wax. That stuff is awesome, and sooooooo much easier to use, I love it and won't use anything else now.

Meguiar's stuff > most products

I dont really wax my car haha it just gets washed with some wash and wax soap from walmart lol. How could i make my car all shiney its a red car and when it drys from gettin washed it looks like a pink how could i make it red again

[meissen]

Pinkish sounds like oxidation. I use Klasse - All in One to fix oxidation. You'll have to order it, though, cause it's imported from Germany.
