    Review: Meguiars Ultimate Quik Wax

    Great review. Convinced me. I used the detailler and was impressed, now, iwill buy the spray wax. Macguiar is a great company and are the gatekeepers to the high end stuff.

    Rookie's first take at polishing G35

    Remember, for this to work, the car at the initial must be swirl free. Waxing once a week MAINTAINS a swirl free shine, it does not producea swirl free shine. Happy detailling!

    Rookie's first take at polishing G35

    It will prevent swirls in that there will be so many layers of wax on your clear that fine dust will not be able to "scratch" the clear, it will instead be scrapping the coats of wax. Hence, you apply your weekly wax after your weekly wash, the wax will make any swirling in you previous layers...

    Rookie's first take at polishing G35

    I think with a black car, what is suprememly important is to wax your car everytime you wash it. That way, the swirls will only swirl the wax, not the clear... And don't forget everytime you wash, you wax (like my name). Ever since I have been doing that, I have have no problem... That is...

    Finally settled on my new ride!!!

    I agree. Dealers do not prep the cars well. I tell them not to touch it and i immediately do a clay/clean wax/wax. Great ride. I am thinking of getting the same thing. And u r rught, white does look great for that car.

    sonax wheel cleaner

    Re: sonic wheel cleaner Wheel cleaners is actually something you dont have to go so expensive on. In general, i suggest letting the product settle. Apply to all 4wheels and tires, then brush them, then, rinse. Dont do one tire at a time! Results should be pretty good. The autogeek video on...

    Good starter wax...

    Pinnacle is a fool proof pick. Although i did not try the xmt. i did buy the 100$ pinnacle paste and it is the best wax ever. So the one you bought cant be far behind. Happy detailing.

    Optimum Hyper Polish Spray push to limit & test

    The optimum products are great. I have the wax which results in 25min wax jobs. I also own the hyper polish which works great with the orange pad. I will soon buy their compound. They are simply a great company. Pinnacle wax is great and more expensive, but for a cheap wax, optimum is in a...

    Rookie's first take at polishing G35

    oh by the way, great job with the infinity. Looks awesome. But you know what they saw, owners of black cars are detaillers' best friends!

    Rookie's first take at polishing G35

    The rotary is faster but mistakes are murder. The da is much safer. Try the yellow pad, if that does not work, than u r not detaillling, it is bodywork. Tip for black car, wax every week.

    From Canada with ... Grrrrr

    Im from east end montreal and i sometimes use eshine.ca. But the specials from AG are sometimes just too crazy. I too have ordered all kinds from AG. Try orders less than 100$. Often you dont pay customs.

    What Detailing Products Have You "Settled" On??

    I like pinnacle for big jobs but since i wax everyweek, i like optimum. It replaces mcguiar. Though for the clients that pay for the cheap job, i pass all the waxes i try. I have to admit, the lst 3-4 orders have been buying stuff i do not need:-) but i love detailling!

    How much for a wash and wax no interior?

    I ususally clay a small panel anyway, and then i show it to the customer, so that way, he can feel the difference without paying for it. Next time, he will usually take the clay. But I understand the scepticism of the customer regarding the clay, it is reletively new

    Blackthorne, your price of 60$ clay and wax is super reasonable Always figure 20$/hour + generous material cost
