    What to use after maintenance wash

    Welp it looks like I'll be maintaining with a spray wax, then. To be honest, I'm not sure why I chose to finish my sealant with a wax. I suppose I just wanted that extra layer of protection, since my car is daily driven. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

    What to use after maintenance wash

    I was thinking of Pinnacle Souveran spray wax, Optimum Spray Car Wax, and Wolfgang Deep Gloss Spritz Sealant. I'll also look into the CG V7 and DG Aquawax. I suppose it doesn't matter if I use a wax or sealant, then?

    What to use after maintenance wash

    I put the second coat of Wolfgang Deep Gloss sealant on my car today. Tomorrow I will coat that with a layer of Dodo Juice Purple Haze.

    I ordered up a new DA buffer and am looking forward to its arrival. I also plan to use Lake Country pads given the excellent reviews I've read. I'm trying to decide which products will work best on my vehicle's paint. It was professionally compounded a few months ago, but I can still see some...

    Want to get more into detailing--need advice

    Thanks for such helpful replies, everyone! I have some cheap, no-name random orbit buffer, but I plan to pick up either a Griot 6" or Porter Cable 7424xp. The vehicle I'll mostly be working on is my daily driver, a 2011 Mazda Miata in black metallic. Living in New York means I unfortunately...

    Want to get more into detailing--need advice

    I always used to wash, claybar and wax my cars myself. Recently I've been having it professionally done, though. I'd really like to get back into doing my own detail work and have been reading as much as I can online. All I can say is, wow I'm overwhelmed! There are so many different products...
