    Easy wax?

    Optimum Spray Wax. Best and most simplistic wax to use plus it is long lasting and has UV absorbers, which no other wax has. It is a combination of carnauba and polymers so you get the best of both worlds. www.optimumcarcare.com Anthony

    water spots on windows

    On most modern cars steel wool is NOT your ideal medium to use. In fact I believe FORD states in the car manual to not use steel wool of any grade on your glass. For tough water spots try clay first and then use straight vinegar as a wash if that doesn't work. The vinegar may need several...

    How long to wait to wax after new paint?

    From the factory, since the piant is oven baked, you can wax them right away. A fresh repaint can also be waxed right away, at least within 24 hours, as long as your wax contains no cleaners (abrasives) or solvents. If you use a solvent based wax on a fresh repaint you may not see problems...

    ugly wax stain wont go away!

    Total mis-reading here....... From your first post and also from your picture I thought this was a "wax stain" on some type of black trim molding on your front bumper. I now understand that it is a white stain on your paint!! Well drop the peanut butter idea as that won't work at all on your...

    Polishing and Buffing (picture intense)

    Sorry to say that a PC is not going to do nothing for that paint. In fact a rotary won't do anything either. Buffing is what many professionals define as using a rotary high speed polishing machine to "level" down the paint. "Polishing" can have several meanings. Some use the word to define...

    ugly wax stain wont go away!

    If the material is bumper, like rubber, then you can use some peanut butter with a soft toothbrush. It won't harm anything. Rubbing alcohol may also remove it, apply it with a soft toothbrush also. Don't go and buy anything from the store to hide or cover it up as that's just a waste of...

    Optimum Corvette

    Thanks for the compliments, much appreciated :) It took me a few hours, perhaps longer than usual because it was so stinkin bloody HOT that day. The more sever halo-scratches were on the top portions of the car and I had to go over many of those areas twice. Thanks again, Anthony

    Optimum Corvette

    Yeah I know it's not a Mustang folks but not too many people call me to detail their Stang's :shrug: So I figured I would post up what I detailed on Wednesday, a red C5 Vette. I used Optimum Compound with an orange pad to level the paint and then used Optimum Polish for the next 2...

    Are my wheels chrome or polished? Pic Inside

    I don't detail many Mustangs.....in fact I can't remember if I have ever detailed one :shrug: .... BUT anyways it seems to me that you have aluminum wheels and not chrome. Using chrome polish on aluminum wheels is bad as most chrome polishes are abrasive and they will jack up your aluminum...

    What wax for black paint??

    Wax alone has no real properties to make your black car look its best. The eye candy comes from proper paint prep more than the wax you use. Properly prep the paint and you can use any wax on it and it will look great. Some waxes may last longer, some may be easier on and off, other may need...

    Best wax?

    Man you guys are wasting so much money :shrug: You'll need a support group :D rj is right though, no wax is best because it is all subjective. Also to claim that because one prefers Turtle Wax over Zaino means they are doing something "wrong" is incorrect because again the "looks" area...

    Wash/wax questions

    What many don't tell you is that same result can be achieved with only 2 products, 1 is a proper polish and the second would be your sealer. P21S is a nice wax but highly over priced and highly over-rated. The information content is a nice guidline to follow but there is just no need for...

    Do convertible tops need extra special care????

    It comes from the factory pretreated so as long as you just rinse it off, do not use anything like DAWN as a cleaner, but rather a soft brush and some water should take care of most of your cleaning needs. The many rag top Porsches I care for only get washed once a month. The other 3 weeks...

    tips to shine and clean black???

    stang22, My comments were not directed towards you or anyone in general. I am pretty impressed by your cars paint work but that's just it......it is "work" and not some magic in a can or bottle. The shot of you in the reflection is high on the optical clarity level, again very impressive...
