very nice... i think i'm going to get the Klasse twins and a good carnauba...

What do you think of cleaner waxes? such as mothers or meguiars? reason being i just recently started putting more effort into detailing and am wanting to step up to higher quality products. but i have 3 bottles of cleaner wax still. so i figured i'd use it from time to time for a "quick" wax...



AIO is a cleaner, so no need for another.

I've been using Turtle Wax Tirewax with a dedicated foam applicator.


Your choices really depend on a number of factors:
- how often you wash
- how often you detail
- how much you want to spend
- condition of paint
- color of paint
- desired end result
I think ^^ plays a huge role. Do you want the most longevity? Do you want the most depth?


For T-Red, I would recommend:
1. thorough wash
2. thorough clay
3. Menzerna Final Polish II (to remove swirls/scratches)
One of the most recommended
4. AIO (to clean, polish, seal)
Good bridge to next step
5. Four Star Ultimate Paint Protection (sealant)
6. Natty's Blue ("topper")

I'll be using this combo this weekend on the above 95 green Accord.

If you want fewer steps:
1. thorough wash
2. thorough clay
3. AIO
4. Klasse SG
5. S100/P21S

Use a good detailing spray. The difference between even Meguiar's QD and Zaino's QD is dramatic. I've tried about 10 different kinds and alwasy go back to Zaino Z-6.
