Wax Preference

[pgermond]

You know how before you ask certain questions you know your going get some grief, but you ask anyway? Well, here it goes....

I’ve been using Meguiar's Gold Class paste. I am pleased with the results, however, I have white powder everywhere when I am finished. I heard (somewhere) that Meguiar's has a new wax that eliminates all the white powder. Has anyone heard of this product before, and/or have any first hand experience? Alternative suggestions are welcome.

Thanks! (it’s raining today )

Griots products do a nice job. Zaino is another top brand.

I use ZAINO BROTHERS wax and can't say enough good things about it. The only draw back WAS (not now) that it took a long while to haze up - they now have an accelerator which totally speeds up the dry back. Here's the best part - as you repeat waxings, it only gets deeper and glossier!

I dont use any wax or polish. Just soap and water

I use a brand of wash and wax that all the Harley guys around here use. It's called Pig Glow, and it's teflon based instead of silicone based. Has an awesome shine and no swirl marks (which I seem to get with any other wax or polish I have ever used). I buy it at the local Harley dealership.

If you wash the car with clear water and dry it with 3M Microfiber Cloth you don't need wax.

I keep two 3M Micro fiber rags, one inside of a plastic bag damp, and one outside dry. Does the trick every time. You don't even need Windex on your windshield. Try it you will like it. Rick Bagley turned unto Micorifiber, I won't go back.

There's just nothing like drying your car with a backpack blower. Super-fast and no water spots.

Those Teflon-based products are fine, just never let anyone convice you that the Teflon "bonds" with the car's paint. That's total bull. Teflon won't bond with anything below, like, 300 degrees or something like that. I'd have to ask my wife for the exact temperature (R&D engineer for DuPont).

The microfiber is also very nice. I use 100% Egyptian cotton towels with the edges removed (the edges are hemmed with Nylon thread which will scratch clear-coat finishes). Funny... I have $10 towels in the house and $40 towels in the garage. LOL.

I'll have to try that trick for the windshield.

The microfiber towels are indeed a remarkable product. I'll never use cotton towels on any car again.

I've actually never "washed" my car and it's been through multiple several rainstorms. I just use a wet micro-fiber towel and plain water, and then dry it with a dry one. I did wax it two years ago when I first brought it home, however, in fairness, silver paint hides all.
