Everyone has their own preferences for waxes. I have seen so many that make our little jewels shine.

To make it shine like you request, it takes lots of work and time.

Start with the clay bar to clear the surface of contaminents. Use a good polish (preferably with a good orbital buffer like a Porter Cable) to freshen the paint and get rid of any oxidation (on my black car I use Sonus Swirlbuster). Apply a good wax (I like Meguiars' NXT Synthetic Wax). Use a California Duster for fine dust. Daily wipe with a good detailer using a good grade microfiber cloth. To bring out that last little bit of "wet look" gloss, Every few days I use an acrylic glaze (Sonus Acrylic Glanz made by Klasse).

I think the secret for my car is the glaze. It provides a little extra scratch and chip protection and takes only 15 min to do.

I am definitely **** about the cars appearance, and spend about 1 hour a day keeping it up (including the wheels). I find it to be great exercise and I love the results. By using this regimen, I almost never wash the car (3 times in 3 1/2 years.)

Keeping your little beauty garaged definitely helps. Living in SoCal where we don't know what rain and snow are, makes it much easier as well.

 

Hey Debs -what is this low country boil - wonder if it's what we British call a Stew. Bet you have some interesting recipies to share, only fried chicken we have is from KFC! So you're a country girl then?

 

LOL no not a country girl but was raised with a lot good home cooking! A Low Country Boil is cooking in a huge pot, it consists of corn on the cob, sausage, whole potatoes and lots of shrimp... and a ton of spices.. all boiled up, drained and dumped into the center of the table on a big platter or paper... everyone helps themselves... really delicious.

 

 

Deb - www.Zainobros.com they will get your products to you in 3-4 days if you can't find it locally. I would suggest Claying your finish then apply a first coat of AO1 followed by a coat of Z-2 then the detail spray Z-6. Your initial wash should be with Dawn (according to the folks at Zaino it gets all the old wax off the car) after that I use Meguiars Gold Car Shampoo. Once a month I use the Z-2 followed by the Z-6. Every 6 months I use the AO1 again. Use the Z-6 after your weekly wash and please remember this....NEVER, EVER USE A CAR WASH!
