WAX a PPW or Won't Feel Any Difference?
 
Asking for all the PPW boys. Is it worth it to wax a PPW. Will you notice any difference. I usually do a weekend wash with nice amount of soap and the normal procedure. I never have waxed my car as I thought It wouldn't give me any difference look wise. Could you show some Before and After waxed PPWs. Maybe I'm wrong. Also I've seen a few products that keep being brought up to use, but what's the best wax and easiest to work with on a PPW if it makes any difference.

I hope your kidding? of course waxing it will make a diff. any wax is better than none.

Wax is important, but in terms of looks, makes a small difference on PPW. Just apply a wax for the protection.

Don't forget pictures of this thread. Do before and after please if you could.

I wax mine at least once a month and notice a shine difference. It is hard on white to gain any depth in the paint. My girls red z looks better after we wash and wax hers than mine does.

Yeah. I guess it's just good to wax it because you can skip a wash and just do water wash and towel it down. Then the one after you could use soap.

BTW you like ur lights like that? :)

I did then after looking at them for a bit I peeled the yellow off.

SH82N-Z Jul 19, 2006 01:23 PM

^^ Good boy. The yellow should had never gone on there.

Waxing is a must, if for no other reason than the paint protection.

stereoneeds Jul 19, 2006 02:07 PM

I assume that you bought the car in March, so yes, it is about time to wax it. PPW is unique because if it is not cleaned properly, all your work will be in vane. Recommendations: I suggest that you study this forum and learn the difference between:

polish
wax
and one-step cleaner-wax.

As for specific recommendations, begin with something easy-to-use such as Black Magic Wet Shine Liquid Wax BM48016.

I think ya'll are crazy that say you wont notice just cause it's white. when i first purchased my car i claybar'd it and used nxt tech wax. Noticed a difference. then i purchased the zaino kit and followed the instructions to the T, and there's a huge difference. If i park mine next to a brand new ppw on a car lot mine looks 100 times better. It has more shine, paint has more depth, feels so soft and slick, and the pearl really jumps out. Oh well you guys do what you want that way if i ever get to be riding next to you i will look sooooooooo much better:)

I also clayed my car and waxed it and it felt better than new and looked great
