The procedure is tedious, requires the touch of a surgeon, is time consuming, and expensive but the finish you get will be incredible (show car folks - print this out and hang it up in your garage).

Ingredients:
Fine mist spray bottle
1 gallon of ice cold distilled water
Many, many microfiber polishing towels
Quality carnuba wax
Many, many foam applicators

A lot of car care enthusiasts and pro detailers know multiple coats of wax can really make a finish look great. While that's true, very few people have the knowledge or take the time to actually apply the coats correctly. The end result of "two coats" of wax in that case is simply rubbing and smearing the first coat while applying the second coat - so your two coats are really just a blithering mess of wax that's nowhere near as beautiful as it should be.

At this point, your washing, claying, polishing, and alcohol wipe down should be complete and the car's finish must not be hot or exposed to sunlight or excessive dust in any way during this procedure:

Begin by very lightly misting 1/2 of a panel with ice cold distilled water and then, using very little pressure, apply a very thin layer of the wax over the misted area using an applicator dampened with your cold water spray. Gently work this wax/water mixture until it all but disappears. While working the mixture, the surface should be periodically misted. When the mixture is near invisible, again very lightly mist the panel with ice cold water and leave it (yes, leave the panel misted). Move on to the next panel and the next - using a new applicator for every 1 whole panel.

At the end of every third panel, go back and exactly repeat the above steps on the first panel you worked. Then, do area four, then back to two, then move on to five, then back to three, then six, and so on and so on. (it may take a minute to digest that, but I swear it will make sense after you read it a few times).

Once you've made your way around the car, we're now ready to buff off our first layer. Very lightly mist your cold water over 1/2 panel and very lightly and gently buff dry with a microfiber towel. Once the microfiber towel begins to get damp, toss it and start using a new one. Continue this process around the entire car until your spots are gone.

Repeat this process every 24 hours for the next 3 to 4 days. You read that correctly: It will take you almost an entire working week to fully complete this procedure.

 

Don't think you're going to get many takers on this without some incredible pics.

 

LOL, Yea I agree. Here is an example of what it should look like.

 

sounds great for a trailer queen or a car that never leaves the garage

 

Sounds just like the way we used to spit shine our boots when I was in the Army.

 

Where did u read this? To apply PURE carnubba wax, it needs to be heated. The procedure I use is to COMPLETELY clean the finish, use three fingers to melt the wax and apply. I want to know how you would apply it with ice ???????????

 

I saw it on Adams forums. You wouldn't apply it with ice. The ice goes in the spray water bottle. I just found out this only works on waxes with high carnauba content.

 

Hmmm when I layer wax I usually don't use the same type of wax for both layers. I know it sounds weird but I use carnauba for the base usually and follow with a high gloss synthetic wax. The problem with Carnauba with a high content is that it's almost not worth using more than 1 layer.

 

Yea I usually do a sealant wax as the base coat since that is what last the longest then top it off with a carnauba wax since that helps increase the depth and gloss in the paint.

I tried the method of above with Mother's Carnauba wax but not sure it made much difference. Will probably have to use a much better Carnauba wax to get that amazing mirror gloss I'm looking for. Here is how it came out:

 

I know it's pretty price but you may want to try Griot's Best of Show wax for the Carnauba base and I totally had it reversed... I use the Fine Polish, Sealant, then Best of Show Wax. The results you have are stellar... do you use a random orbital to apply the sealant?

 

Thanks... yes I am using a Random orbital buffer to apply my sealant.
