I remember posting a thread asking you people what is the best paint to use, and I thought I would give you my results.
This is the first and second times I used wax on my mystichrome color cobra
The first time I used Nu-Finish Car Polish for 7$ at Wal-Mart
The polish worked extremly well and I live in the desert. A week later my car still had the same shine it did the first time I got it not changing the color or shade of my paint. Dust started to stick to the paint but it rained 9 days later. The water beaded off and after the storm there were very few spots on the car, and the dirt was gone, but the car still needed a car wash.
The second time, 1 month exactly later I used McGuires Tech Wax for 14$ at Wal-Mart. Immediatly I knew this was not a good wax. It was extremely easy to get off the car though. When I looked at the car after I finished, I noticed that the paint was clearly different looking and indeed much darker like it said on the bottle. But on day 2 without any wind there was a layer of dirt on it. I live in the desert and this is very important. Exactly 11 days after I washed it it rained again. This was the worst wax I ever experienced, none of the water really beaded off unless I was driving over 60mph. When the storm was over water spots existed all over the car and It looked like the wax job was a big waste of time.
This message is for everyone who told me to use a "quality" wax like mcguires.
I was never so displeased, and I want you all to know that you are making judgments over no knowledge whatsoever. If you can prove to me that I am wrong then I'll give you my bottle of mcguires tech and gold wax because they are both junk. Stick with the Nu-finish
