Looks good I want to wax man soon as I live in florida as we'll this sun is unbearable sometimes
Yeah claybar kits aren't too expensive (around $20), buy yourself some compound and polisher as well to get rid of any minor scratches. Then after that wax the baby to perfectionI got my waxed a few months ago (washed, clayed, waxed) for $60. I was talking to my...detailer(?) and he showed me how to clay it and properly wax so I could do it on my own, was surprised he would. He did a pretty decent job but I think I can probably do the same if not better although I will probably take longer. It seems pretty cheap to be able to do this, I suggest anyone that wants to look it up online, could save yourself plenty of money. Just got it washed yesterday since I got it waxed (it needed it, looked slightly dusty) and it looks really nice still, even a month with no wash and now it's still super shiny.
I've been meaning to but somehow it always gets put off... Just had my 1st service toolooks great... tint those windows tho
I personally use the Wolfgang Deep Gloss Total Concours Kit Wolfgang Deep Gloss Total Concours Kit <font color=red><b>FREE BONUS</font></b> It's what made it look like it does above, mind you that was my first time doing it myself and only 1 coat of the paint sealant/wax. I also have another wax that I want to put over that which is an actual wax (Meguiars Ultimate Paste Wax) which from what I can tell isn't a carnuba wax but should look really nice and last longer (http://www.meguiars.com/en/automotive/products/g18211-ultimate-wax-paste/). Has anyone used the Meguiars Ultimate? I haven't had the chance yet and was curious. The Wolfgang takes about 12hrs to cure and shouldn't get wet in that time so it takes some planning.What brand clay and wax do you guys recommend?
Ya but it's a paint sealant, lasts longer than a wax. There are other sealants you get and use that last longer but don't give the nicer wet look. This was only 1 coat, I wanted to do 2 but something came up, don't remember. It lasted probably a good 2-3 months (about 3 is average). Probably would've lasted a bit longer if I had put on a 2nd coat, even longer if I put the actual wax on over that.Holy cow! 12 hour cure time! That's nutz!
I did clay mine and and if I remember correctly, yes, I did put the sealant on it. I did it all by hand and it took me about 9 hours to do the whole car (quick automated wash at Mike's carwash [now Crew], clay, and 1 coat of sealant). I think I am getting a DA in a few weeks so that should make it more shiny and much, much quicker. I still plan to do 2 coats of sealant and then a wax.How did you do the roof (sun roof). Did you clay that also? Do you wax it as well? Did you hand wax it or or use a DA machine? I'm about to do mine so sorry for all the questions.
Looks good!
