ok, so i have been using turtle wax ultra gloss on my tC. it goes on great, it covers swirls and knicks really well and it makes the finish look and feel great...but it only makes it that way for about a week. i washed my car last week with turtle wax zip wash and waxed it with turtlewax ultra gloss. it looked awesome.

i washed it today, because it had accumulated alot of road salt and junk. then i dried it off with my new microfiber drying cloths, very nice to have. i noticed that the water didn't barely bead on the surface anymore. it doesn't have half the gloss it used to have and all the swirl marks and knicks are back to showing again.

so, turtlewax ultra gloss is awesome if you don't ever drive your car. thats my conclusion.

i want a wax that covers swirls and actually protects the surface. the swirls and knicks i will remove eventually, the correct way with light rubbing compounds and swirl removers.. i need a wax that lasts.

i'm thinking about getting a synthetic paint sealer, like klasse all in one. it covers light swirls and seals the surface with an acrylic, i think. anyone ever use it?
then i would follow that up with some P21S carnuba wax

 

Try just using Eagle One Nano Wax ... Its new from Eagle One and it replaces their Carnuba Wax. The Nano Wax is a new technology and it better then Carnuba Wax. Give it shot. I use it on my box and it covers up light surface scratches and its last for about 2 weeks depending on how the weather is ... when it was snowing over here with all the road salt and ____ it didn't last too long but in normal weather it last a good 2 weeks ...

 

I use Klasse AIO polish, then I follow up with Klasse sealant glaze, and P21S afterwards. It lasts, but I also use a porter cable and reapply the sealant glaze every month or so.

 

I second the use of the Klasse twins. I also add a coat of Four Star UPP as it gives the paint a super slick feel. Most waxes should last longer than a week though. What are you using to wash your car?

 

turtle wax zip wash. it says it doesn't remove wax. i'm going to get some klasse all in one and some s100 wax, because i'm cheap and i don't want to spend $30 for p21s

 

I've been using Mother's Carnuba(sp?) wax every 6 weeks or so on cars. Seems to work fine for me.

 

Yeah, your problem is for sure your product. Turtle Wax is
for people that don't know any better. Stick with one of the
name brands recommended by these guys.

 

Don't forget the sealant.

 

Out of all the waxes I've used, Zaino lasts the longest. Only problem is that it's a bit expensive and time consuming to apply. The results however are the best I've seen. Very reflective, durable, and attracts less dust than other waxes.

Meguiar's nXT wax is great wax as well. Super easy to apply, but doest last after 2 washes. Good to use in between Zaino jobs :D

 

Any one know about that new nano wax?

 

Turtle Wax has begun running ad spots on MTV, so has Black Magic. I surmise they're making enough money to afford this. Still doesn't mean their a quality product.

Go with something like Zaino Bros, Meguiar's, Mother's, Shinning Monkey, etc. You won't have to reapply as often.

 

what are everyones opinions of Goldclass liquid wax, thats what ive been using. just like some input

 

Anyone use the Rain X wax stuff ...heard its good and especially for UV rays and i live in south FLA plus its rain X and beads great on my windows??? Anyone thanks

 

just save yourself the trouble and get zaino. it will not disappoint

 

McGuire's makes a really good wax and wax booster... Forgot the name but its in a purple bottle with a green top. Awesome stuff. makes your paint look like glass almost wet even.

 

Shining Monkey!

 

Zaino brothers all the way. Best wax ever!

tech wax. I personally love meguirs liquid gold class. still wondering about the new NANO wax

 

I use Nu Finish and that stuff works great. It's relatively cheap, and it's probably one of the easiest waxes that I have seen to use. I'd definately recommend it.
