Detailing 101

For starters, this is the best website to buy products from. We Are Car Care -- Car Wax, Car Polish, Auto Detailing Supplies, Car Buffers & Car Accessories Store

Second, someone else said it already so I won't dwell on it, but the products you bought are not very good. If you want to get down and dirty into detailing you're going to want products that will give you the best results. And some of that needs to be tailored around the color of your car. Different waxes provide better results for different colors.....and I'm not talking about a small difference either, in some cases it can be quite dramatic.

For starters, you need to ask yourself how often you want to be waxing. If you have the time you must remember that a wax wears off in 4 weeks give or take. So it's alot of work to keep the car looking it's best. I myself have used and will continue to use sealants. The are a superior product in terms of protection and durability. They do provide a slightly different look after applied than a wax though. Some actually prefer it, though some still like just the wax. However, you can marry the two together by first applying the sealant and then after curing apply the wax of your choice. This is the best of both worlds and the absolute best thing you can do to protect your car. I personally use Klasse SG (sealant glaze). It can get knocked by a few people who aren't used to it. You will see comments that it's hard to get off. I've never had a problem, nor has anyone I know. The Klasse will last as I've personally seen on my cars up to a year. You can alwasy rewax it at anytime as well.


Try reading this to help explain. Carnauba Car Wax vs. Paint Sealants, carnauba wax reviews, paint sealant reviews

To address your wax question, one of the best ways to determine the best wax would be to know what color your car is. My car is white for ex. The most striking visual results I've ever gotten (and what I presently do) is the following

Wash>Clay>3 Coats Klasse SG> Topcoat meguire's nxt 2.0 or Pinnacle souveran (Finally Liquid Souveran Wax achieves the Pinnacle of Perfection. Liquid Souveran Carnauba Wax has the ease of a liquid wax with the protection and)

Pinnacle as a brand is fantastic stuff. Pricey, but worth it.

Hope that helps a little bit.....
