I was wondering why no one mentions Mothers wax for detailing. Is it any good? I just want to make sure before i go and buy there 3 phase system. cleaner/sealer/wax

 

I use it all the time, and have for years. I think its at least as good as Mcguires, and applies eaiser.

 

I don't use it, but have used Meguiar's. I've started using something I think is MUCH better on my black Z. Anybody heard of Pinnacle out here? You can get this stuff at properautocare.com. It's expensive, but I've never had a finish like this before. http://www.properautocare.com/pinnacle-usa.html They have lots of detailing products. I like the leather conditioner too. Smells like new leather when I'm done.

 

I used the mother's 3 phase system on my Maxima a couple of days after I got it. It's kind of tedious priming/glazing/waxing your car 3X, but believe you me it's worth it. The #3 carnauba wax is easy to apply and so is the sealer/glaze; the first one (cleaner i think) is a pain.

 

Mothers carnaube wax is the best "Pep Boys" "Auto Zone" wax. But I would be temped to spend a few extra bicks and step up to One Grand Blitz or S100 (which is being discontinued so nab it while you can)

 

S100 is the same as P21S. The price on the P21S is a little more expensive, but if that's your favorite, you can still get it.

 

Yeah i know, thats why P21S is changing the S100 formula, when it was found out that they were the same, everyone bought the S100 essentially loosing $10 per sale.

 

....get the version WITHOUT cleaners. The Mothers with cleaner has a polishing compound in it and it will leave tiny scratches in your clear coat. You want to get the carnuba ONLY version. And yes, it's a good wax. I used to use it on my black 944 with great results. It's harder to use than the Zaino ZFX system, but it can provide a very good finish with a bit of buffing.

Well, I agree with you about getting the one without cleaners, but the part about it leaving tinny scratches, well, thats false.
