Car Care and Detailing Dreams (Part 2)

[Maddriver]

Shampoos are really mild and are made of neutral pH, all shampoos contain a certain small % of added wax in them to make your car look shiney after the wash. So no... A shampoo wont clear your previous wax coat... it would add wax to it!

You need a little concentrated APC for that, an APC wipe should work.

So I should need to rinse wash the car with water( without using any shampoo) dry it then put a dilluted apc to a spray bottle and spray all over the paint then just wipe it off which will give me a non waxed surface?

I have one more question from you guys. There are so many waxes. Meguiar's offer about 8 9 waxes with different names. Mothers have 4. 3m have 4. Chemical guys have almost 13 14. Dodo Juice, Sonax, Wolfgang and every other company offers a variety of wax and sealant. Regardless of durability and synthetic polymers they offers are they color oriented? I mean different wax for different color. First time I used Sonax Polish followed by Turtle Ice Paste Wax. (Results are in the picture below)Now I want to try Meguiars NXT Tech Wax 2.0. What do you think which wax will be good wax for bold Beige Mettalic Color

if you have made up your mind for nxt then i will suggest you to go for maguires ultimate paste wax it comes with a foam pad and a micro fiber also in a very good packing.and its a newer version or u can say upgraded version of nxt 2.0.

if you really want to go crazy with the shine then go for a full detail session wash clay bar skip the compound ur car doesnt need that machine polishing by a Da polisher.and then apply any sealant and top it up with a natural carnuba based wax. u can skip the sealant if u dont have it. and go directly with the wax.
if ur tight on the budget then i will recommend you maguires gold class. but it catches alot of dust.and in this heat it melts like custard...

So the people all arround the world thinks the ultimate wax as a very tough and long lasting wax. As far as we people are concerned we just love to work our car often. Reviews do also that nxt tech wax is much more better if the main goal is to achieve gloss and shine out of meguiars products. But One day I would really love to try Chemical Guys Lava. Do you have that?

Not all shampoos are the same. The thing about CG shampoo was mentioned by a pro to me when he saw this in my kit. I had not started using it and he told me to be careful with proper dilution as if I diluted less it will remove all waxes and he said that pros used it for wax removal also.

The link I posted above also says it can be used for grime and wax removal if diluted 1oz x 1 gallon of water.

Pearl white prius detailed!
MashAllah! Needed claying badly! And though white color shows less swirls, the compounding and polishing did some magic on it!

The color has clearity & reflections of a glass! Dodo juice did some great magic here!

Guys now I am being approached by my cousin who wants to get his newly bought RX-8 Kuro Edition detailed, the car is Black but has a shade of Bronze in it as well.
Don't want to go too harsh like compounding. Will this procedure be good enough?
Wash/Clay/Wash/Polish/Glaze/Wax/QD
Wash with Megs Ultimate Wash & Wax Shampoo.
Clay with the MaxShine claybar and Dodo Juice clay lube that I have.
Polish with Megs UP.
Glaze with Megs m7 glaze.
Wax with Megs #26 hi-tech yellow wax, how many coats should be good enough and after what time interval shall the new coat be applied?
For QD I have Megs as well as Dodo Juice.

QD: Quick Detailer spray.
Glaze: Pre-waxing product to create a good base for the wax after proper base prep.

surface prep is the first and foremost thing for waxing/sealing.
first is wash, then clay, then wash again, then a good polish, then pre-wax glaze and then wax.
some cars with not so good paint condition need multiple stage compounding as well before polishing.
