I have a Black SI and I have not wax it like I should. Does anybody knows which will be the perfect wax for it, because it has a few little scratches and a lot of water stains. Any info will be apreciatted.

 

Epic or Black Magic

Black Magic is cheap, too

(google search for info)

 

From what ived read bluerocket really like this one and looked hella good,http://www.detailersparadise.c...32450 Same one which was mentioned in the above post.

 

i would reccomend klasse AIO. does wonders for dark paint i use it on my fiji and top it with p21s.

check out autopia.org

for over the counter stuff meguiars nxt is a good choice

 

Epic Wax hands down, expensive though.

 

Meguiars Gold Class Paste Wax.


my car blinds me. the flies slip off my car.

 

Zaino....

From this...


To this....




Although I would like to try that Epic...I think thats next since my Zaino is running low

 

Wow... that wax really brightens the rims doesn't it?!

 

i recently bought the Deep crystal system from meguiars.
Dont for get to clay !!

 

Meguiars Gold Class Paste Wax, Epic Wax, Zaino, all these are really great and provide equally great results. Its really your pick, just don't cheap out when you buy wax. God forbid you buy turtle wax.

 

EPIC!...

this picture does not do justice.

 

I tried 5star shine PPS and it holds up good it should for $70 a kit. I also like meguiars.

Holy **** THAT sells me on zaino.. I thought the car was Galaxy Grey in the first pic

The only thing that worries me is I only saw a polish from zaino, not a wax. Does a polish offer the same protection?

 

ok A polish will make it look wet. But has no protection. You need to top it off with a wax. IMO wax will also make your car alot wetter looking .

 

best detail man in western mass swears by mother's. and this guy works in a shop that seels a lot of high end and exotic imports, and he makes everything look brand new.

 

It really depends. There are a lot of short term products that look incredibly deep and shiny that last only a few weeks before you have to reapply. Generally you lose depth as wax longevity increases. I'm a fan of shining monkey in the summer for a good look, but in the winter, i dunno. I think i'll have to try that Epic stuff, because the stuff I used last year they warned me that it contained some petroleum products.

 

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned it, but I love Zymol. It really shines the paint up and lasts for a while too. Its also kind of pricey.

06 black si what u use ? i think you said about epic.... i too was wondering what steps should / can do to protect and keep it looking show car conditions. it was recently painted with a custom paint job and i really have no clue what steps (polish / wax? or polish glaze wax or sealent?) im soo confused since which would be proper ones due to new paint job. Fianly i was told by the body shop that let it settle for 1 month but they said that 3 months is fully cured for a solid finish. plz help out guys, i have i went with a more corsure metalic silver finish

 

personaly i would wait to touch it for 3 months, but i always play it safe with my cars.

I've also always been told not to wash the car with any soaps that have detergent in them. It may sound dumb, but i used to wash my car with shampoo, becuse it doesnt have detergent in it. Now i just take it through a brushless car wash.

As far as wax goes i havnt waxed yet. its coming soon with summer here though.

 

i dont use brush never will lol , and yes i rather be safe then sorry so 3-4 months is ok w/out wax but is their any recommended kits ? to maintain the new show car finish or new car paint lol

Epic !

 

I picked up my '07 LX on 5/4. I did some reading on this board and bought a bottle of the Epic Prima. I have yet to apply it, but there are some good things said about Epic products on the Internet. Based on one of the replies above I am wondering if I should wait a month or two before applying wax. Granted I do not have any custom paint work, so this may not be an issue.
