Anybody ever use this thing. I saw it at the local pepboys and was wondering if it was acually any good.

 

Do you mean Meguiar's? Didnt know Mother's had a 3-step. I use Megs btw its great stuff!

 

Nope.

But I have used and highly recommend using the Mother's Reflections Car Wax and the Mother's Reflections Top Coat.

 

NOpe never heard of it, but i use Mother's cleaner wax which is awesome.

 

Yes Mothers not Meguiars. Ive seen it at Pepboys.

 

I would guess either would be about equal. I've used the Mequiar's 3 step for several years and am very happy with it. Really makes the car shine when you get all the old crap off of it and polish it and protect it. Previous to that I was using Griot's Garage stuff for years but I don't see the point of the extra expense and the hassle of the paint clay when I can go down to Autozone and pick up 3 bottles of Mequiar's for less than $20 and it looks and feels the same. A 3 step system gives you a really nice clean and slick feeling shine. Give it a try, nothing either company makes is bad - anything that people use on their precious show cars should be good enough for a car that actually gets driven

 

yea here's a pic with that three step... plus a coat of gold class after....

 

wow that looks nice, what is the gold class you said you used? how long does it take to apply this?

 

its meguiar's gold class car wax... basically about 3 hours for all 3 stages plus the two coats of gold class...

 

wow that seems to be quite a while, how long does the two coats of gold class take? how often do you do your car?

 

Mother's is a bit harder to take off than meguires 3 step (tried them all...). However, it lasts a bit longer. Both are horrible in temps below 50. Both have the same shine and gloss.. i usually skip the 1st step and only do it every month or two. I usually wax once every 2 weeks.

I used that regularly before i got Zaino.. that whole deal required 2-3 hours to put on.. Zaino requires about 20 minutes to put on and 1 hour of waiting and 10 minutes to take off since very very little is used. I'd recomend it if you have a darker color car. Silver glosses w/ zaino like its underwater...this stuff is godly.

 

Do you guys suppose wax or polish adheres or penetrates on the car better when its hot. So lets say at 7am its 60 out would it be better to wax then or wait til its about 80 and put the car in the garage to wax it at that temp so the wax sort of melts or pentrates to the paint better.

Or, does it not matter and wax when ever the paint's surface is cool

 

Can someone post pics of this so I know im buying the right thing?

 

I just tried meguiar's gold this weekend. Amazing stuff, so much better than their regular wax. I also did my first clay bar treatment ever, so that may have helped significantly. But it was much easier to remove, and the shine is intense.

 

yes sir! people dont believe me about this stuff, next try NXT its pretty good too, i usually alternate coats, making my own mix hehe
