SKperformance Posted June 14, 2003 Share Posted June 14, 2003 almost any specified clear coat safe polish is ok to use i have never used that product i tend to stick with the 3 step products as they can do alot more since tehre is no way a 1 step can do 3 at the same time which is clean the paint polish it then wax it just don't use any rubbing compouds it is only for acrylic paint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chromiez Posted June 14, 2003 Share Posted June 14, 2003 turtle wax is generic to me. i prefer using something like megauris products. they give me good shine for my car. try www.autopia.org they got everything about car care and products, they really know how to keep a car looking nice.

SRK Posted June 14, 2003 Share Posted June 14, 2003 I use Meguiar's as well. Polish with Number 9 Swirl Remover, and then wax with Number 27 High Tech Yellow. Looks good, lasts really well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted June 14, 2003 Author Share Posted June 14, 2003 Great tips. I'll go to the web site and research it. A three step process sounds reasonable B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKperformance Posted June 15, 2003 Share Posted June 15, 2003 a clay bar comes with a spray for lubeing the paint at the same time mothers makes a kit or a high speed buffer to be used with caution and experiance as it can burn through paint most pros have them and do a whole car for just over 100 plus it will make the whole car look brand new removing any swirls and minor scratches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chromiez Posted June 15, 2003 Share Posted June 15, 2003 for overspray i think the best thing is a clay bar. clay magic makes good clay bars, mothers clay bars do a decent job from what i heard, but clay magic and other brands are much better.

VMF Posted June 15, 2003 Share Posted June 15, 2003 how do i use this clay bar thing? i never did it myself, 2 weeks ago i paid 150$ for a guy to do it for me, and did pretty good job, but there is still some overspray left. Damn i wish i could have find that guy who scratched my fender!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKperformance Posted June 15, 2003 Share Posted June 15, 2003 for 150 you got it painted or a guy to clay bar the car? the clay bar is just liek a bar of soap that is made of a soft clay you spray the paint and just rub it in, and it picks up little particles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VMF Posted June 15, 2003 Share Posted June 15, 2003 for 150 he did a compound and then wax the whole car and painting i got for 400$ for the fender and the door. with this claybar i just apply this bar on the whole car or i should rub it in?

SW03ES Posted June 16, 2003 Share Posted June 16, 2003 I also agree, Turtle Wax is more of a Target product. As for the clay bar, the easiest way is to wash the car, rinse the car, then resoap each panel and use the soap as the lube for the claybar, then rinse and dry. I'm gonna move this to detailing.
