So a while ago i bought ICE car wax, and i love it:) it is super easy to apply and it polishes everything, even the black molding piece around the windows look better...
So i was washing my car today and appreciateing the awesome waxyness of my car still, just thouhgt i'd post and see what everyone is using to keep thier celi waxed. Side note: so i also thought of the best car wax comercial today... Ok so people from a car wax company(the new best one out there) keeping going missing, the cops investigating it discover that it is people from the car wash business kidnapping all the people because the wax works SO well that dirt doesnt stick on it so people stop washing their cars as much, and the car wash business start to go broke!!! ?? Not bad huh?? lol -------------------- 1 JL 1,000/1v2

I like using the ice as well, havent tried the paste yet, but the spray detailer saves you time if you dont feel like washing, anyone out there try the ice clay bar?

I use the clay bar once every month or so and use the spray in between. I love both products!

Zaino Show Car Polish. It's a multi-stage polishing system, not a wax. Holds up FOREVER (I haven't put a coat on my Vette in a year now and it's layered well enough to not warrant a coat yet). Pricey, but I'm 100% converted.

Do you guys prefer caranuba or paint sealant wax?
What would you suggest for a white car? |

For sheer looks, a HIGH quality Carnuba like Pinnacle all the way, but for overall protection and longevity, I find myself sticking with the sealant polish, as the look is close but it lasts WAY longer. -------------------- |

Yeah, I've been looking on autogeek.net, and I found this Wolfgang sealant that looks good. http://autogeek.net/wg5500.html What products would I need to make sure the paint is prepped for it? Also, sealant is the last step right, just like wax? Also, a buffer isn't necessary is it? I don't mind doing it by hand even if it takes longer, if I can save some money I will.
