Guest badbobs95 Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 If you take the time to do all that work, every product will make your car shine, but for how long and will it protect it from the air born contaminates that will have you claying your car in six weeks. I have now detailed over 400 Corvettes and I have never used a drop of wax. Because wax gets soft at 90 degrees and lets everything stick to it. Synthetic polymer sealers or ceramics will not get soft in the Arizona heat. I haven't clayed my car since I bought it 5 years ago, just polish and re-seal. This isn't a plug but I use Liquid Glass and every customer of mine is so impressed with the results. If you ask 5 people, you will get 5 different opinions. But your car looks great!

Grape Ape Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Mine doesn't shine that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grape Ape Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Forgot to add system. 1 - Don't wash. We all know I don't drive it so what's the point of wasting time and water. 2 - Air hose with blow gun to remove the dust then wipe down with detail spray. 3 - Meguire's scratch and haze remover. 4 - Liquid Glass. How many coats depends on how ambitious I feel. 3 & 4 applied with a Porter Cable polisher with various pads. 5 - Done. Put back in the garage. I bet I'm the only one that has that process!!!??

Extender32 Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 What's wax or polish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOXXOH Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Clay and Rejex every 6 months. Run it through a car wash in-between. DD, road car, and occasional dragstrip duty tends to get it dirty, but that's what happens when they leave the garage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peetyz Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Windex and steel wool here! lol jk jk it's really just wash, Adams paint sealer(every few months) , and detail spray or waterless wash. I really need to take it all the way back down and clay then add the sealants and polish again. Bobs car looks great. When I first saw it I thought he sprayed it with cooking spray for that wet look but I was wrong. I will say an awesome product for after you wash and drive and have light dust etc is which is a bit safer than a detail spray is Adams waterless wash. Its extremely inexpensive if you buy the concentrate "rinseless wash" then make the waterless wash formula following the instructions which is 16oz distilled water with 1-2oz of rinseless wash in a spray bottle.
