What is the Best liquid wax. Ive read alot of diferent opinions scattered around. From brands to carnuba vs. polymers.

All i wanna know is, whats the best liquid wax for a glass like magazine style shine

 

No wax alone is going to give you a show car shine. It seems to be mostly a combination of excellent prep and great photography. IMO, the look between different waxes seems to be very subtle, and your imagination can have a larger effect. There are so many good liquid waxes out there in different formulations that you'll really have to figure some of it out yourself. There are lots of factors:

What colour is your car? Lighter or darker cars sometimes have different preferences.

What are your priorities or preferences? Appearance? Durability? Ease of use? Cost or local availability?

Also, why a liquid? In general paste carnauba waxes tend to last longer than their liquid counterparts, and some paste waxes like P21S/S100 are very easy to use. Some polymer sealants have both good looks and durability, but they can be trickier to use than off the shelf stuff.

But as said earlier, if you want your car looking fantastic you'll have to start off with great looking paint, which usually means brand-new paint or (for most of us) a thorough prep job first. How's your paint?

 

The key to having your car glistening like this is paint preparation.







To give you an idea of what was done....

Washed car with Meguiar's Gold Class
Clayed Car using ClayMagic Bar
Polished car using Klasse AIO

 

Honestly Im sick and tired of wasting my whole day waxing the car.

I just use Meguiers Quick Wax every month or so after a carwash.

 

Does that quick wax werk...4 how long?


well its a 99 and the paint is still good. its sterling mist (kinda dark silver). i think i might just go w/ that 3M wax.

But first i need to go buy a buffer, i just used my friends last time and it was kinda a B*tch. But i think i might go to Sears or Lowes and get my own?

 

Bypass the crappy ones and get a Porter Cable...

 

Hmmm, is Porter Cable the brand??? I dont really wanna get a crappy one.

Is a 7" orbital buffer good, or 10"

 

Hey man all you need is some AIO and SG and your life's going ot be easy. Don't worry about any other stuff..

 

What the crap is that? Please spain it to me.

I use to only wash my car but now i wanna i wanna do a little bit more.

 

Oh sorry man.

AIO = Klasse All In One. The greatest cleaning 'waxes' around. Can't really call it a wax cause it's acrylic.

SG = Klasse Sealant Glaze. The protective sealant that gives the car's paint a deep shine.

 

Porter Cable is the manufacturer. They make heavy duty power tools. The model you would be interested in is the 7424 or 7336, which are identical machines equipped slightly differently. Go with the 7424 if all you want to use are the white polishing pads that Porter Cable sells, but you're kind of stuck using these though... Go with the 7336 (Lowes sells this) if you want to go all-out and be able to use different grades of foam pads with it. You'll need a different backing plate though. Autopia or Roadfly are good places to learn about this machine since it's a bit of a complicated issue accessorizing it. This tool is expensive (figure on $120-$180+) but it's the best, and worlds different from its cheaper cousins.

Klasse is good stuff, but don't expect AIO to perform miracles. Remember that as a retail consumer product it has to be gentle enough to use on brand-new nearly perfect finishes as well...

 

^^^ thank you...I didn't want to deal with explaining it. The only thing i'll add is that you should get one that allows you to use whatever pads you want.

Also, I know AIO+SG works well to protect, but you really should top it with wax too...for looks and for even mroe protection.
