see, my problem is that the car is always parked outside. so i want something that will stay looking good the longest. i occasionally will want to do a really good polish & wax for car shows and such but mainly i want my car to look good under the conditions that i have to park it.

i wash it every week (in the summer, when i can in the winter) so it stays mostly clean.

oh, and i knew not to use cleaner wax with the AIO, i was more askign what was thought about them in general

Your going to want to apply 2 coats of Klasse Sealant Glaze after you've applied the AIO, but wait 8-12 hours between the first and second coat of SG as it needs time to set After that, your all set for about 6 monthes, but if you wanna add some depth and "extra" protection, apply a coat of caranuba to the mix after that second step, waiting another 8-12 hours.

Anyone know the best wax to use with an orbital polisher on a T-red? Currently all i do for detailing is wash car, put in garage, go over with clay bar and then i wax with NXT.

What should i be doing?

Your can continue to use your orbital w/ NXT, just make sure you don't use too much as the orbital lets you use less product You really only need to clay about 2-3 times a year unless your live on a dirt road or have alot of acid rain and/or fall out. The NXR does produce a great shine, no doubt about it and I have it in my arsenel, but you may wanna think about getting yourself some Klasse AIO and SG to add to the mix, you will NOT be sorry, trust me

i dont know if this is a good deal on this stuff or not, but it says "sale"... if you count $60 (or 2 for $100) a sale

That is a good deal, but you need someone as obsessed to pay $50.00 a container though


BTW, I have the 05' 300 "Limited" done and it looks great! I just need a nice, dry day to get it out, take some pics of it and deliver it This is the first time I've ever driven one of these cars and even though its the 3.5L "High Output" (253 hp) it barely adequate IMO, but the way it drives and handles, amazing , not to mention its looks, its metallic black and the chrome really stands out on it! Its also got 17" versions of the 18" 300C rims, so its "almost" a top of the line version.

whats a good amount of coats for wax to put on (NXT) and what should i use to top off the wax?

I'd layer NXT over itself about once a month, seeing that its so easy to apply/remove, but if the car sits outside all the time, mix in a good claying about once every (3) monthes to keep it smooth, don't want to apply clean wax on a surface with embedded contaminents To take it a step further though, you might wanna do this every (3) monthes though...

-clay bar
-Klasse AIO (cleans and polishes)
-Klasse SG (two coats to seal in the flavor )
*need to wait 8-12 hrs inbetween SG coats*
-then apply your NXT to "top it"

After that, you can apply your NXT about once or month or more if your like me! People ask me "how often should I wax or have my car detailed?" and I say this to them...at the bare minimum, its needs a complete detailing coming out of winter, one good coat in the middle of the summer and another complete detailing going into the winter
