Wax

Lee · #1 22-05-2008

Im all out of car wax, after a crappy winter the car needs a bit of tlc (yes its may

)

What do people use, i usually use the auto glym stuff for the cleaning bit. but what wax is best. I always thought Mer was good but it doesnt score so well on reviews

Hi Lee,

I use meguiars or Zymol, find that the best.

A friend of mine used to use Zymol and swore by it but he is now sourcing some stuff from Switzerland.

right... longer winded answer now the boss isn't looking...

My car's got a bit of oxidisation on the bonnet and rear quarters, to get rid of it I've used the following:

1. Wash and rinse car
2. Farecla G3 cutting compound on all panels with oxidisation
3. wash and rinse to remove residue from G3
4. Meguiars Deep Crystal polish on all panels
5. Buff to polish
6. Meguiars Carnuba Wax/Zymol Cleaner Wax
7. Buff to polish
8. Autoglym Fastglass on the windows
9. Autoglym instant tyre dressing on the tyres

If it's not oxidised then cut out the G3 part. All in all a normal wash/polish/wax (without cutting) my car takes about 3-4 hours to do this properly, but it's well worth the effort.

I allwas found Autoglym fastglass left a chorky powder over the car and is a bitch to get off any of the rubber surrounds

In work we use Clearglass and its awasome stuff.

I bought the new turtle wax Ice last night not tested it yet

I used to get this, but they must've changed it as it's not been doing it with the newer stuff i've had.
