any good wax out there?

[teknical]

my buddy has a buffer, and I was wondering what would be a good wax that I can do myself. I want it to last a fairly long time, and get very clean and shiny. Any comments or reviews of what you guys used?

zako?? i think you mean zaino, by far the best wax you can get, but you have to order it via their webpage or mail.

but if you just want to head down to canadian tire, the 3 stage meguirs is the best. you have to buy all three bottles, theyre numbered and are a burgandy color.

is meguirs stage 3 and NXT the same stuff Tyler?

NO, Mothers and Mequirs are, two different companies. Mothers are always good, haven't tried the NXT yet. From what I hear it shines like crazy but doesn't last very long.

[teknical]

gah, k well I'm looking for something that lasts long and has a very nice shine to it.

[ZorroAMG]

Just used NXT yesterday and she's DA BOMB. Get the shiet at Partsource

[Redlyne_mr2]

All those meguiars and mothers products ae garbage. The 3m polish and waxes are where its at, theyre expensive as hell but worth it

[teknical]

lol, everyone has different opinions about everything, haha. Alright well so between NXT and 3m, which one lasts longer and shines better?

Depends on how you apply it, you almost need training to apply detail products these days. Start with a cutting agent to get rid of any blemishes, followed by a polish then a wax.

Alright, well I just bought a turtle wax ultra gloss, but I might return it and buy the 3 stage meguiars clean, polish and wax. Where can you purchase 3m wax and polish?

Napa..its like 70 bucks for all three stages though

[teknical]

but it does a good job?
how would it compare to the Meguiars 3 stage? that's like 50 bucks (12.99/each) at partsource

[Wildcat]

3M iz f0 slitchez y0!

[teknical]

I just went and snatched up the meguairs 3 stage, lets see how this baby works.

[GT2NV]
