Fav Wax?

[Metallman56]

thats what i thought. well this weekend i will detail the sh*t out of my car this weekend. i will post some pics. thanks guys!

if you use that little bottle of wax over whatever wax you use it will make the color look a little better. The carnuba wax makes the color " pop" as it has been described to me

I concur... If you claybar, polish, then wax, it'll snap, crackle and pop.

[Metallman56]

well i must say i HATE claybar. why you ask. simple. when i was doing it today i noticed every little inperfection in my cars paint. just frusterating. well anyways took your guys advice did what you guys said, and i must say d*mn! it took my dull red, almost pinkish, car to a brillant mirror red. beautiful. i have pics on page 1 of my cardomain if you want to check it out.

sorry that you dont agree with me... But everyone on a professional detailing forum does agree so i dont really care what you belive

What forum is this? Im gonna investigate, that little bottle is nothing more than mothers carnuaba wax, nothing special about it.

[Metallman56]

a little hazy? r u kidding me? i used claybar, zaino swirl remover, zymbol, then meguires tech wax. please dont say it looks hazy, it took me like 6 hours. i dont get where u see haze. i was all excited thinking, oh coupes gonna love this, and then you say hazy? man that hurts! its all good though, trust me it may not be perfect, but its a hell of alot better then it was. thanks for the advice.

[coupe]

I looked at it again and it dosent look hazy, sorry man

[Metallman56]

dont scare me like that. ! i think it looks abuot 1000x redder. it probley doesnt look as good as your car coupe, few do, but trust me it looks d*mn good. i did it at my parents house, the house i grew up with and 3 neighboors came over to say hi. first said, "wow i have never seen a car soo shinny" second, "is this car brand new" third, "your car looks really good" all came over after the claybar was done. my dad, who was making fun of me for thinking it would work, was like "wow i need to do that to my car" so yeah needless to say i am happy with it. cant thank you guys enough!

[coupe]

Thats funny your dad didnt think it would work Why did he think that?
The comments you get are great!, I get asked all the time if my car is brand new! They give me the weirdest look when i tell them its 7 years old!!!
Feels like glass dont it?

[Metallman56]

my dad is one of those people who needs to see things work before his bare eyes to be a believer. then all he can do is brag about it. its dumb. he is just a crazy old man .

oh man it feels like a babys ass. today i am back at work so concrete powder can get all over it, so the brand new car look will be gone by the time i leave, until this weekend when i can wash it again.

[coupe]

Now all you need to do is keep it washed an waxed, you shouldnt need to claybar again for along time as long as you keep it washed and waxed.

[Metallman56]

i try to wash every week, and try to wax once a month. this is soooo sweet. i think i am also going to try some of that new ice stuff. i will tell ya how i like it. oh also how do i get rid of the haze on my headlights?

Thats the schedule i try to keep also, sometimes i wax every 2 weeks though.

I couldnt clean the headlights, that haze is there to stay. I had to buy the chrome headlights.

[Metallman56]

a few questions. do you have a link? do they leak? do they look stock at first glance? do they project better?

[coupe]

To a non GA person (or pontiac person) they probably wouldnt notice the headlights.

They definately project better light, but of course im comparing to my hazed yellowish stockers, a wet paper bag projects better light than my stockers

I have no leaking problems, i dont think ive read anyone who has had that problem yet.

Here is some pics, i think you seen them already though:
