Default What Waxes do you use?

I use Meguires 3 Step Wax. I dont have a buffer, so its a bit harsh on your body to wax a car 3 times over, but the results are more than worth it. Just follow the directions on teh back of the Bottles if you want to try it.

Heres the car the day I bought it (hadnt been washed in over a year)


Day after, with a nice 3-Step Wax (this is 11 year old paint too)

On your body yes, the car no.

I use Der *** Stuff brand polishes and wax. My car's paint though is showing its' age, and add to it the fact it has been sandblased by KS winds hundreds of times I can't keep the paint from fading. Sadly I might have to strip and repaint.

Though when I first had the car adn used that was I coudl shave my balls with the reflection the paint gave. Its' ahrd to find, expensive, but it gives a deep luster, not a shine. So if you want that subdued sheen that only the keen of eye adn appriciate, then Der *** stuff brand is worth looking for.

I used Meguiers a while too, great stuff for the price.

Rain X wash is pretty good wash btw, it actually is a wash/wax and works pretty damn good.

3M cut when you use a orbital buffer.

Otherwise Meguiars products. Just the basics. Clear coat cleaner...polish...wax.
