    Whats the best wax for a black car??

    Bob, Your car is looking damn good as usual. Your car was my first inspriation for detailing. Klasse seems like it is pretty good stuff, I've considered it in the past. Did you do any surface prep or is Klasse a filler?

    Whats the best wax for a black car??

    I forgot to put #7 before the #81 also. I've spent so much money on car care products now I don't even keep track. You can find them at www.meguiars.com either by ordering from them or you can do a search to see who in your area carries them. Truthfully, you can get a very nice shine by...

    Whats the best wax for a black car??

    It was a very long process. I use a Porter Cable to apply. Dawn wash Clay #83 #9 #82 #97 #81 hour break for curing #20 hour break NXT hour break #26 hour break #98 I probably could have gotten by with just doing one or two of the toppings. I noticed that if I didn't let it...

    Whats the best wax for a black car??

    I'm really not sure why people jock Zaino so hard. Yes, I own it. Yes, I've used it. Yes, it is good. No, it is not in a league of its own. Zaino gives a different shine, a hard industrial look. I'm not really a fan of that look. I am a fan, however, of its durability. During the winter...

    what kind of wax?

    Leaf blower is my favorite way. I've never had that good of luck with the sheeting effect on areas like the roof or hood. Then I just take my pakshak towels (man I love these things, wish I had a bathrobe made out of them) and dry what remains. I've found that even when doing that, I...

    what kind of wax?

    What buffer do you have? The best one you can get that is still safe is the Porter Cable 7424 found here: http://www.propercarcare.com/poca746varap.html I have this one and I've never looked back. At the risk of sounding cliche, it was the best car care investment I've ever made.

    what kind of wax?

    Hey Heath, If you want the car to really shine, then you need to have good surface prep. I'm not sure what your process is, but have you dawned and clayed the car before? You should also include an abrasive like #9 to elimate some swirls and scratches. You could also look into #82 Swirl...

    Some pics of my V6

    Yeah what an eye sore! I doubt it will ever move. They had an expedition sitting on rocks for about a month. They have since upgraded to putting their cars on slabs of brick and tires.

    NXT is by far the bst i've used to date

    Argh curse you Bob! Your pictures have given me incentive to go see if I can find the NXT products at Walmart. Schucks and Target didn't have them, but I'll give Walmart a shot.

    I'm in love!

    Please don't tell me you got this idea from that Ghostrider video on the net. Get what you want, just make sure that if you wipe out the only person that bites the dust is you.

    Lime green metallic

    I'm not so sure I am satisfied with that color selection. None of them really appeal to me on a large scale. I'm not a huge fan of sonic blue and the windveil blue is kinda girly if you ask me. I can't picture myself buying a white or yellow car. Not keen on mineral grey and the lime color...

    Why would a cop do this?

    I got a no front license plate ticket while driving my dads car last October. I am still fighting with the court over it. The cop had nothing better to do and just wanted to be a prick, that is all there is to it.

    Mr. Clean car wash

    So what I am understanding about this product is that it is merely designed to eliminate water spots and make it so you don't have to dry your car? So you could wash your car say with Meguiars Gold Class and then instead of rinsing with regular water from the hose, rinse with the Mr. Clean wash...

    Has anyone put TST on their cars?

    Yup, it is kinda like those fat burners that claim to allow you to magically lose weight. There would be no fat people if that were the case. And in this case there would be no unwaxed cars.
