isd it canauba? yeah use that type of waz at work, makes all the tail lights and chrome pieces amazing! can't see how any other product would make it shine more, seems to last a while too

[AJPS]

oil changes every 3000, waxing monthly, im beginning to see a trend here!

haha

[dr1ft-pig]

i use meguiars, cant even remember what its called, comes in a box with a purple bottle and an applicator

bout 50 bux each from auto barn, i find it works awesome and gives a better shine than auto glym as we have both, i choose to use meguiars

for buffing compound i use "gleam it" extra cut will cut out 1500 grit marks

i am a car detailer btw lol, i use this shit every day

and thats the reason my cars paint jobs turn to shit hahah, too busy cleaning other fuckers shit to worry bout my own

[Frak]

I don't wax my bike monthly, atleast once a week!!! car only gets waxed each month, if summer sometimes a couple of times a month. Seats come out often so I can vacuum those hard to get places I get rather distressed if I go over my 3000km oil and filter change

I'm a painter by trade so from personal experience and long time use of all products i've listed.

3M is good but a little on the watery side for my liking so good for general up keep.

MALCO FLASH OF WAX is awesome after a good cut and pollish. i use it ever time i wash my car and it brings up chrome work beautifully.

FARECLA fucking love there G-range. very good cut and good polish.

T57 DARK POLISH best shit on the market for med-dark colours. used as a final glaze.

A range of quality super fine fluffy micro fiber cloths.

^^^agreed with above, im also in the bussiness and above comments are on the money

any paint supplier would sell these products are a good price

[slide86]

so how bout some advise as how to apply said products......say to a jzx100 with 6n9 paint code (dark green)

i know a "polish" or "cut and polish" sounds straight forward......but i gather there is more involved than just slapping it on and rubbing away.

i cant afford to have to respray my entire car, the roof already needs doing (spraying). thats enough for me

[evil86]

buffing should be done with buff machine and with waxing, it could be done with machine or by hand with soft material(forgot whats it called). wax on what off in circular motion like in karate kid repeats step until satisfied
