meguiars spray wax... spray your car when its wet, swish it around w/ a clean rag, wait til its dry, and wipe it off... it actually works really really good... i think that eagle makes the same one... i only bought it cuz it was on sale for like $4.48 at advanced auto parts...

I use Zaino products on my car. I usually apply the Z1 Polish Lok, then Z2 Clear coat Polish. Usually try to do 2 coats, one the next day so the first cured nicely.

When I am done, if its real sunny it shines so much that it blinds you.

There is no three stages of "wax". The three stage system is a cleaner, polish and then wax.

polish.. not wax... two different things

www.tropi-care.com - synthetic polymer polish.. amazing results.. i refuse to use a WAX on my car... the tropicare is ONLY applied and removed (in addition to the car being washed, detailer spray, etc) with microfiber towels... the durability is longer, the gloss and depth is deeper, colors are sharper (seriously), and it's EASY to apply..

(and no i don't sell or work for them LOL)

I used that stuf a long long time ago. It looks good for a wash / rain or two and it is done...and it is VERY messy.

I used S100 for the first time the other day and it turned out really well, it was pretty easy to get on and off, I don't know if I like it more than the Hi-tech yellow I used before, but we'll see. I think my car needs a hardcore clay baring, so maybe after that I can realy decide.

I've heard the NXT wax doesnt last long at all...so i havn't tried it, too expensive to try following bad peer review. I have tried the Eagle Nano Wax, because it was FREE after rebate. I liked it, lasted a little while. Though i still will stick with multi stage products. I use meguiars show car glaze, and usually ARDEX Pure Gold wax. I also used ARDEX VIPER speed wax between waxings after i was my car which usualy makes the hole wax job last a little longer.

Here is a car we did Thursday for a show this past weekend. We polished it and topped it with Poorboy's Natty Paste Wax.

^^^Wow, Natty's does have that same P21S/S100 shine. Reminds me of my car, or atleast the paint, that is.

That's a sweet Supra. Not crazy about the muffler, but sweet nonetheless.

Yeah the muffler is a tad big but when you run twin turbos you need to let the air flow.

Thanks mogwai!

just bought some eagle nano wax (been wanting to try it for a while). what's even better, is there's a rebate (just mailed it in). so basically just paid tax.

Let us know how it is. A lot of the guys from a few detailing forums were not happy with it but it was free so they did not care. LOL

Re: what kind of wax does everone use

Meguiars
first time i've done it i went nuts
i did
1 - clay (for surface contaminants that doesnt wash off - grainy feel when touching paint)
2 - paint cleaner for below surface contaminants
3 - polish
4 - next tech wax

but after that i just clay then use next tech wax every 6 months
but i might try and do the 3 steps again sometime or just add polish b4 waxing! I love Meguiars products, it finally made my silver civic shiny and reflective (chicks stop and do their make-up using the reflective panels as mirrors, lol)
