I know meguiars ultimate liquid wax fills. So does their ultimate spray wax. You could use the liquid wax every few months and the spray wax after every wash or two. That said I dont really use dedicated waxes much any more. I usually just apply HD speed by machine like I would a wax every so...

I've had the same issue with certain waxes and polishes on dark cars. When it happens, spray wax (in my case D156) doesn't help the situation. It just seams to spread the smearing around. What I've found to work is doing a final wipe down with a detail spray. I usually use meguiars gold class qd...

Is the jescar aio its own product or is it just menzerna aio in different packaging? I ask because I'm getting low on menzerna and I'm not sure if I'm going to buy some more or replace it with something else. I have speed, but prefer menzerna in certain situations because it cuts more and has a...

For the fun of it I made a 3:1 mixture of ultimate liquid wax to black hole that works really well on dark colors. Both fill (black hole more so) and ULW is decently durable. I usually use it before shows and stuff. You could probably mix something similar if you're looking for a quick way to...

How about an inflatable cover?

I usually just throw d156 on top of speed. Just about the easiest, quickest, and most economical combo I can think of. Not to mention completely adequate in terms of protection for those of us who wash our car every week or two and use some sort of "booster" as a drying aid.

Agreed but I only really do my own car which I've already done a full correction on so I'm only looking to clean up super light wash marring every few months. Doesn't really matter to me if one part of the car is 91% corrected and another is 93%. I'm just looking for something quick and easy!

Honestly the only reason I use AIOs even though I usually put something on top is because it's so much easier when you can do the whole car before wiping. I'm not aware of a straight up polish you can let dry like that.

I know for the past little while Lexus has been using self healing paint that you're not supposed to use anything abrasive on. Its like a soft layer of clear that levels itself when it gets hot. They started doing it in 2010 with the LS IIRC.

I've found speed somewhat inconsistent in this regard too. Sometimes it goes on and off super easy, but other times like when I was using it last week, it was dusting like crazy when I wiped it off. In that instance, I found that wiping it off more immediately reduced the dusting. FWIW it was...

I only take the time to properly detail my "garage queen" but even then the car is stored for around 5 months out of the year and it never really gets dirty so all it needs is a quick wash every couple weeks. I could totally see how I would get sick of trying to stay on top of several cars...

I used to work at a porsche dealer in the GTA. They actually used flex 3401s and menzerna polishes. Before delivery to the customer, every car was went over with fg400 (if needed) then usually 3500 or 3800 and then they threw powerlock on top. Pleasantly surprised me.

Ultimate Liquid Wax has fillers so I agree that step 6 may not be necessary. I'd also add that you might be able to get away without step 5 depending on how your paint reacts to the compounding. On hard paints I've had UC finish out perfectly. Personally my go to for a quick 3 step is UC...

Dude just get a DA. The first time I did my boxster was with that meguiars da system. With some ultimate compound and the burgundy pad it came out really good and I was happy because I didn't know any better. You can get the same results with the drill attachment but I had to use a lot of...

D156 for a versatile product you can use in the sun. Sonax brilliant shine if you have access to some shade. Can't believe how good that stuff is for the $$

I've read about mixing sonax bsd with another qd to make it more slick but does that affect its beading characteristics or durability? Any reason other than slickness people do this?

Check out sonax brilliant shine detailer. Not quite as economical but it lasts roughly twice as long as d156. Only downside is you can't use it in the sun like you can with d156. Don't be fooled by the fact it's marketed as a detail spray. Use it like a spray sealant.

That's one of my favourites right now. Compared to speed it cuts more and I find it has a longer working time. It can be worked almost indefinitely and you can do a pretty big area at once if you want because it won't dry behind you. Speed has an easier wipe off and can be used in the sun...

If a superior product comes out at a similar price point I'm going to buy it over the others. Every single time. Why wouldn't I? I simply want what is best for my car and my wallet. Again, not saying speed is worse, but I see no sense in using an outdated and/or inferior product out of a sense...

I get what you're saying. I'm all about supporting the little guy but not at the expense of using an inferior product. Not saying speed is inferior, I just wouldn't blame someone for moving on if they found something better. Would you rather have your car (or a customers) look better and/or...
