good wax?

[V_Eight]

more power to you, i guess what i was trying to say is that i spend 15 hrs a week in the summer...i thought that was a lot but good lord, i dont think i can compete

A lot of that time the car was on jackstands with all four wheels off, i'd sit in the wheelwell scrubbing. My gas tank had tire shine on it, the insides of my tires had tire shine. It got nuts.

This is a before picture, I don't have any afters sadly.

Gotta love the mismatched tires.

I just wash my car at work then wax it when i get a chance.. I need to buff my car and foam pad it and get it looking good..I spray wax my wheels..But I just got them so..

its been raining cats and dogs here. 40 days straight I think. hawaiis weather is so random. its sunny 1 minute, then showers the next. its so disappointing when it rains right after I wax the car.

my car only spends 3 days a week in the garage. I guess all the more reason to have a nice 40 coats of wax on her .

 

[joestang98]

Well the more coats of wax is actually not always for the better...I thought that also and had 50+ coats of zaino on my car. Waste of time.
I highly recomend you to read the forums on autopia.org
ask questions and get help. They are truley a great bunch of people and very helpfull with any noob.
It will become another great "bonding" experience you can have with your car!

I think maybe 3 or 4 times of waxing a car a year is good..But I do love spray wax it makes the car look good and add some shine..

Which in your opinion (to those of you who have used both) is better, the Klasse or the Zaino. I'm sorta growing tired of using so many different products.

I've read it depends on the color of your car, the Klasse is supposed to be great for red and black cars.

this is after 1 coat of mothers glaze and swirl

Klasse is much better than Zaino in my applications. It's super easy on, easy off. As far as a wax, Natty's Blue has never let me down, ever.

Doesn't look too bad, let me know how long it lasts though.

 

[Marks5.0!]

think the combo on the car at the time of this pic was poorboys ssr1, clearkote vanilla moose and poorboys ex-p topped with nattys

this combo was poorboys polish with carnuba (blue) topped with pinnacle souveran

So, can you get away with the AIO or do you need the SG also.

Thanks for the opinion.

You guys go by hand, or a orbital buffer thing?

Those are expensive, so I go by hand

 

[back_in_black]

V Eight, I put the mothers "reflections", which is their synthetic, "micro encapsulation technology" wax on after the glaze and swirl remover, instead of the mothers carnuba, and it still looks real nice. About three weeks ago I won best of show at the out of the cold event at the Hooters in potomac mills, VA, so I think the mothers' products hang with the rest

AIO works just fine.

AIO + Natty's Blue cars I did

This one has 5 coats of natty's, just to see what it would do, which wasn't much compared to one coat.

Both, but 99% of the time by hand with a microfiber application pad.
