What is the best car wax and/or polish to use on our new sky - Sumrfun

duck833 · 06-03-2007, 04:45 PM

I sure like Gary's products.

Hey,

There is this stuff you can get called Dri Wash n' Guard. I think it is a multi level business, so unfortunately you can only get it from a dealer, but boy is it worth it!! It repels even water spots and acts as an invisible skin for your paint. It will even help prevent red cars (or any color) from sun fading or damage. Here is the amazing thing though: it will actually prevent scratches and remove scuffs! I regularly put it on my second car too, 2001 Camry. Somebody scuffed my side mirror really bad with something black (vinyl?). I put some Dri Wash on it and rubbed it a little bit and it all came off! I have been using it for years and it is the first thing I do when a new car comes home. Dri Wash bath.

I cannot say enough good things about it, but another great feature is that it makes your car shine like a showroom Ferrari!! You have to try it!

I use a combination of Turtle Wax Ice, Meguiar's, and Eagle One

...another great product for tires is an aerosol spray by Stoners...no mess and no slinging...

Oh, also forgot to mention, they have some great tire cleaner that will make your rubber shine too. It's really easy to use.

I use Meguires. The Techwax spray for "tweeners" and the paste for whole car. It is designed for clear coats and really makes teh color pop. In the Yellow of my car the look is noticible after application in that the color actually gets buttery warm. The gloss is blinding!

redskyatdawn · 06-06-2007, 11:32 AM

I use this stuff called "The Wax Shop Wax Super Glaze HD" been using it for years. It gives you a deep liquid shine. The stuff goes on easy and comes off with no powdery residue. They also make a great swirl & haze remover called safe cut for those nasty surface scratches

SkyNV · 06-06-2007, 12:36 PM

COLLINITE SUPER DOUBLE COAT AUTO WAX or any other of the finest wax products made from collinite. It's a tougher wax to put on/take off, but that is one defined measurment of a GOOD wax. I have used this wax many times, and nothing comes close. Also, the PASTE is better than the liquid. I suggest trying this wax. 100% satisfaction.

Duragloss 601 - Polish/Bonding Agent.

Duragloss 105 - Performance Polish.

Duragloss AquaWax - Wax after washing.

This stuff is great and can be purchased at CarQuest.

Wipes on and wipes off very easily.

Steps:
Apply Durgloss 601. Without removing the 601, apply the 105. Let dry. Depending on
humidity, it will dry in about 15 minutes. Remove with microfiber towel. You can layer
the 105 if you desire. To keep the shine, use the Duragloss AquaWax after every couple washes. Spray it on, wipe it off. So easy. The Duragloss products give your paint a nice slick and shiny surface. I find myself rubbing my hand over the paint just to feel how slick it is. It is also very durable. I use the 105 and Aquawax on my windows also. Works like RainX.

I use the 601 once a year, it is a bonding agent and you do not need to use it each time you apply the 105. I usually apply a couple coats of 105 about every 4 months.
The AquaWax keeps the polish protection between applications of the 105.

The price is not bad either. Carquest currrently has a few of the Duragloss products on sale.

I use Klasse AIO topped with Poorboy's Natty's blue paste wax on my Dads Redline yesterday.

Reflects pretty well.

I have used Pinnacle products for a few years now. Use Souveran wax on red or black, you will not find a better shine.

momocorrado · 09-24-2007, 07:32 PM

Turtle Wax Ice

**SKY 07** · 09-25-2007, 09:10 PM

Just bought Ultra auto polish Finish at www.ultrafinishproducts.com. It was highly recommended. Has anyone else tried this product? I heard it was Great. The weather here in CT is going to very warm for this time of year, so I am going to apply it on tomorrow. I guess I am just getting my baby ready for the change of weather.
