shine question

[trithumb]

what wax do you think i should use for the best shine... i have mothers wax... is there anything else i should do besides washing and waxing to get a good shine?

[sudden_impulse]

Have you clayed the car? Have you either polished it yourself or had a professional polish it? What soap do you use when you wash the car?

I use Mequires Deep Crystal Car Wash soap for washing. After its all clean i use Mothers Claybar twice a year... especially the 1st wash after winter. Then i wax with Mequires NXT Generation tech wax. After thats done for quick touch ups through out the summer i use Mequires quick detailer. Then Before it gets to cold out, and before winter hits i wax it again.

i was told not to clay the car because it was just newly painted in november of last year so shes only got like a 9 month old job on her... but i cant remember what soap i use and its almost midnight i cant go out right now the parents will get pissed.. and no never polished it

i use liquid meguirars gold class wax, i find it works good. But i hear nuba waxes only last 3 months...

by the way what happened so that you needed to have it painted?

You only need to waite a max of 90 days after painting to wax/seal.


What wax/sealant you use means nothing and is not what produces shine, clarity, reflectivity or deepness.
