Sup Fellas,
I just waxed my Z with the spray on Nano Wax by Eagle one. I thought at first it sucked.Cause it was hazing. But I kept up the job and it became easy to take off. Now the car looks really glossy. I will post some pics in the morning. I got to get the Z looking tip top! I'm getting married on Sunday so I think I'm going to go for a photo shoot. How often can I use this w/o harming my paint?

 

Not fond at the nano spray wax from Eagle but you can keep using it as long as there is no wax on the paint. If you run your fingers across your paint and it feels slick, there is still wax on there. If you run your fingers and you start hearing a squeek sound, then the wax is gone. Just try not to keep caking on wax. Try to claybar the car once in a couple of months to make sure the wax is actually bonding to the paint.

Also, try using a real wax. You will have better results and longer durability.

 

I heard some good things about this wax. But I have always used mothers carnuba or meguires gold class wax. I think when I run out of the Nano, I will go back to meguires gold class wax. I just dont want swerrl marks that would suck.

 

Megs gold class is horrible as well. It's more of a gimmick wax. If you want a liquid wax, go with Megs #26 yellow wax in their professional line at Pep boys. That's the only one over the counter i see that works well.

If you don't want swirls, make sure you are washing and drying your car properly. Don't quick detail your car and use cheap microfiber towels on the paint.

 

I know what you mean about the micro fiber towels.(dont ust them) I'm going to try that Megs#26.

I used Meguire's for years. But a few months ago I gave Turtle Wax Ice a chance. I love it and I'll not be going back to Meguire's. I can wax much faster and get just as good of a finish without even breaking a sweat, and in direct sunlight if I want (but I still prefer the garage). Plus you can wax your black rubber trim without it turning white and it looks better than Armor-all. A much better product imo. But to each their own...

 

agreed, the #26 is awesome for over the counter, also try s100 from your local harley shop its p21s with a flex additive.

 

the turle wax ice you speak of offers decent shine and brings out some pop in the paint, but really man it offers no protection.

 

You can use microfiber towels, just dont let the cheap ones touch your paint, get some quality ones off line there usually around 4 bucks when you buy 30. You can use cheap ones on your wheels brakes exhaust and such.

 

What makes a microfiber towel a cheap one? All I have seen are 80% poly.

 

70/30 blend is best.
Some good advice above, most OTC waxes are high in petrolium distillates, ois and fillers to give the appearence of a decent final finish, once the first rain comes however, 50% of that has washed away and in the hot Florida and California sun you will be lucky to get three/four weeks protection max.

 

if they feel dry and kind of stick to your hands stay away.

 

Agreed, but the otc waxs I would use, but I dont anymore are meguiars #26 yellow carnuba, s100 and p21s. But the last too arnt really otc. S100 you can get at harley shops.

 

yup, exactly. I don't think anyone knows that they are just using stuff with high volume of fillers. All it takes is one carwash to wash away those oils and fillers and all the flaws pop back up. I guess it will make some people happy but it won't work for me. I do an alcohol wipe down of the whole car with some polishes just to make sure that the paint has no swirls before topping it with wax.
