Default Easiest wax job I ever done.

Ok I'm usually not one for these types of product but this product, I recommend to everyone.
Its Eagle One Wet Wax As-U-Dry.
The wax job is the best I've ever felt. Heres what you do.
1.) Go to car wash spray off car,(wash it as you normally do)
2.) Keep the car wet, and spay mists of the product on panals then use an absorber or something and wipe the product off.
3.) Then do a final dry.
Heres a pic of what the product looks like.

and heres the website.

The first time I used it it smeared all gross and it made the windows look terrible. I finally got it down so it looks good...
1) Wash car
2) Dry Windows, lights, and roof
3) spray wax *** u dry on the rest of the car
4) dry the rest of the car.

It shines really nicely.

I don't know what's the curing time for freshly new paint, but If you want to wax it use the Mothers Pure Carnauba wax for clear coats.. It's use for newly painted cars or brand new cars and it's pretty good.. Anyways, I'm pick up one of that thing tomorrow it should be an easy shine..

You should wait 90 days before waxing the car, unless the shop specifically says otherwise.

it looks good but i'm very weary of using it, my friend used it on his celica, and after the shine went away the paint was really rough and pitted, felt like it had been sanded

I used a few bottles of it and it does a good job. But I must say that Meguires (sp?) Quick Detailer does a far superior job. I have used alot of different products and Meguires does the best job. Eagle 1 like most other Quick Detailer/Quick Waxes/etc. works a hell of alot better when the car is washed off first. If you look on the bottle it says not to use on windows but if you give it some elbow grease when buffing it off it makes it look so clean that the glass seems like it isnt even there.

I was a skeptic, but I used it today and I think that it worked damn well. Even if it isn't quite as good as a good hand wax, it would more than make up for it by being able to wax your car in the time it takes to wash it. I will using this stuff for awhile to see how it holds up, I really like it so far.

turtlewax makes decent products as well. i really like the turtlewax color cure polish!

good stuff to use after a wax!
Actually it is just a pigmented wax, not a polish. They call it a polish for marketing reasons.

you can call me a "cheap-scate" but wal-mart has the best prices when it comes to waxes and car wash accessories. they may not has as much of a selection as kragen or auto zone but they do have some quality stuff for great prices.

So since everybody was raving about this stuff, I stopped off at my local auto parts store to see if they had it. They did, I bought it.

I didn't get any further than half of my hood before i gave up.

The stuff sucks bigtime... I washed my car at the car wash and promptly busted out the "diaper soft drying rags" that I bought when I got the wax, sprayed some on the car and started drying.

The stuff just smeared all over the place and made a big mess. Maybe it's just because I have a black car, but damn. I couldn't get it to "buff out", instead it just make big smear marks all over my hood, and they stayed even when it was dry. I had to go back and wash my car again, then re-wax the hood just to get rid of the crap.

It also feels like sand paper... WTF is up with that? feels like it's got fine gritty stuff in it or something...



I dunno... I don't think there's any subsitute for meguairs 3-step...
