Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Branches E. Great Lakes Waxing Question

Hey Ive never actually waxed my car and Ive read many posts with Waxing tip on them. Anyways Im always hearing about Wax Cleaners and Wax #23 with Wax #45 is great . Anyways I want to do a really good Wax job on my car, but I went to some stores and didnt see any Wax's with Numbers on them, or maybe I just dont see them
Anyways Whats a good Wax? Do I need a Cleaner of somekind? And how do I apply? Oh and where do I buy it at, and for how much?
Thanks!!!!!!!!

You guys suck! lol answer me!!!!!!!

I would say go to an autoparts store and look for some kind of a package. I know mothers and Meguires both have something along the lines of the 3 step. They both work well.

Steps to a proper and thorough paint care every 6-12 months:

Wash with Dawn dish soap
Use a clay bar
wash again
Use a compound to remove the swirl marks/scratches
wash again
apply your favorite wax

Tips here and downloan the first 8 free chapters of the book on that wiste too. Good info.

Do you intend to buy only local stuff or are you willing to order over the internet? I have seen people recommend the P21S kit for people just starting out. But I recommend the Klasse kit . Just pick up some clay from Autozone, use the All in One a couple times until you are happy with the swirl removal, then the Sealant Glaze as many coats as you like. Should last 6 months as long as you wash it and use some kind of quick detailer.

If you only want to pick up stuff locally, I recommend Clay Magic brand clay bar, 3M Finesse-It II #39003 for swirl remover, and Meguairs #26. I have seen the 3M @ Pep Boys, or Murrays. Each may have the Meguiars as well.

If you want some microfiber towels, I know where to get some 16x16" high quality ones for $2.00ea + shipping. Just send an e-mail to Tom Gong @ jtintern@hotmail.com requesting a price quote of products he currently has in stock. I have one of the huge 28x54 waffleweave towels and can compeltely dry my wife's F-150 which I could never do with an oversized bath towel.

I should take a picture of all the detailing stuff I have accumulated. Everything has its place, although my Gold Class is retired since I put Zaino on my beater. :p
