Car Wax

[cpreefguy]

Yeah, I just finished removing the ICE.
It took two passes with an orbital buffer, and two passes with microfiber cloths to remove it all.
Not impressed. I'll keep it because I used it on all of the black plastic trim parts/seals on my car, and those look great.
I think I might see if I can pick up Meguiars #21 tomorrow, I have heard it is also some great stuff. Maybe Zanio if I can't find it.

zymol ..germans know best

I used to detail professionally and I used zymol on my own car. I used 3m at work, and ran the gambit. Zymol literally made my car feel like it had ten clearcoats on it. Towels would slide off the hood, without much coaxing!!! You should find a cleaner wax to apply first, then follow up with a regular wax. I say this because with a single stage wax, alot of dirt and grime gets waxed into the paint. With a two stage, the thinner, cleaner wax comes off and often grime and dirt with it. Then go back with your coverwax. Make sure not to get any on your vehicle's moulding!

IF YOU EVER GET YOUR CAR POLISHED, ALWAYS CHECK THE MOULDING AFTER. TONS of bad detailers will accidentally hit it with a buffer, which burns and dulls the finish. Never get your car polished on a hot day, or in direct sunlight, the cooler the paint, the less swirls! Nothing I hate more than seeing a swirled black vehicle....

I was hoping you'd chime in
What type of Zanio?

I bought the Zaino Ultimate Protection Show Car Kit from them and like Bill said I'm anal about using it lol. I use it on all of our cars and they all look great after I'm done with them.

Day 2:
I left my car outside last night after waxing it.
I went out at 9:00 this morning and it was caked in dirt!
The dirt was stuck to my car. I went and bought some meguiars 26 yellow wax and used Quick Detailer on the whole car. Let's try this again...

Meguiars #26 is an awesome wax. A bit more difficult to take off, but well worth it. The shine is deep and really lustrous, love it. Now I don't want to drive my car anywhere
