    Optimum spray wax over Liquid Souveran wax

    I'm about to order my first bottle of ONR and Optimum Spray wax. But I was wondering if its ok to use the spray wax right after the ONR when I recently (about last week) coated my car with Pinnacle Liquid Souveran wax. Will the spray wax work well with the current coat of wax?

    How much wax/glaze is good?

    So yesterday I completed my second detail on my white Honda prelude. I washed, clayed, m205, Mazerna glaze then topped it off with Pinnacle Sovereign Liquid Wax. So I have a few questions...

    Removing scratches from headlights

    I just picked up a pair of mercedes headlights for a pretty low price and I'm planning on restoring it to new condition. The reason it was a low price was because someone used an exact o-knife and ran it down the headlights. If you run your finger over the scratches, the scratches are sort of...

    Headlight Restoration-new UV sealant idea

    If I keep the contents in its original containers, its a bit hard to pour out even amounts of spar/minerals out of the original containers. Especially the mineral spirits as it doesn't want to pour in one direction.

    I don't think moisture if a problem, the spar is still in its original can but sealed tight and saran wrapped. The mineral spirits are also in its original can, both are in my house all the time. But if I do get new cans of spirits and spar , then what do you suggest to put them in?

    Headlight Restoration-new UV sealant idea

    I used a blue scott towel folded into 1x 1inch. I mixed the spar/spirits into a 6oz plastic bottle and I used the squirt cap to squirt the sealant onto the towel, then I slowly applied in onto the lenses horizontally.
