Check out that shine!

I washed, buffed, and waxed the hell out of my car yesterday and I am pretty impressed at the shine it has now. I used this stuff called Turtle Wax black box that is made for black cars and I love it. It hid all the swirl marks and makes the paint look wet while giving a nice deep shine....





This stuff is like a 7 step process and can get messy (the wax is black and i had to use gloves) but it is WELL worth it. I think I found my new wax for sure.

sweet. glad those products worked out for ya!

i just spent 125 bux on Zaino products yesterday. got the "show car detail kit" and the Z-CS "Clear Seal" i can't wait for those products to arive so i can give my baby a proper spring cleaning. its got swirl marks from sitting under a cover in the garage. too bad sunday is supposed to be crappy.

im real excited to try the clear seal.

Jon let me know what you think about the clear seal. I have been reading about it and I am very curious about it. I need to order detailer, wheel stuff and leather cleaner from them at least.

Looks great Joey!

I never even heard of the clear seal thing. What is it?

no idea what it is made of but its a polymer protectant with uv blockers to put over detail jobs to last up to 9 months. 1/4oz. can do an entire car and it can be used over other peoples products too. wipe it on sparingly with a light mist on the pannel and grab a beer cause your done. you don't wipe it off or anything. its a top coat to any detal job.

its in a 6oz. bottle for 30 bux so it better be damned good. lol.

Ill let you test it out first, lol. Sounds good though.

dauuummmnnn that is shiny! I will wax in a few weeks.

I rubbed 2 kinds of the prep shit into mine the other day and then the clay bar. put on polish. Waxed it up and it's ready. I was always leary of the clay bar. It seemed like it would be hard to do. I did it in half an hour or less. Piece of cake and did the job, too. Paint is smoooooth.

Clay bars are awesome. Thanks Tom you reminded me I need new ones.

oooooh so shiny Joey! Looks really nice. Got any of that stuff for my car?

a clear sealer basically does what its named after.It basically protect the wax you just laid down..If you want to be anal about it its always god to go wax,sealer,wax,sealer so you apply multiple coats of protection!!!

BTW your car looks mighty shiney Joey!!!

Hehe.....Lil' Bogie just got his spring cleaning last nite.......spent 3 hrs on him.....(he wasn't too bad since I detailed him for the CAMM bowling night......unfortunately, I get to drive him out to naperville to get his new shoes.....I hope the snowy rainy shit holds off........

That sure is a shiny car!!! Does that work only for black cars or can you use it on other colors?

Jon send me the info on what you bought at Zaino I may try it out and since you already bought it I would just order what you did.

Looks great Joey, do the same to your Altima

Thanks! I honestly have no idea if it would be for other colors but I wouldnt try it on yours until you find out for sure.

Ok thanks Joey. I'll do some research before trying it.

Have been around it for years so if you have questions I can prolly help ya as well.

Ok now that I see what Jon got I am jealous. Z7 is the mess when it comes to quick detailing at a show. The tire shine is good too, doesn't sling and the leather in a bottle will bring back some nasty looking leather. I am not a fan of how the leather one smells, I call it butt in a bottle but its only like that in the bottle. The rest of the stuff they make has a fruity smell but nothing over powering.

The car wash takes a tiny capful and it makes tons of suds.

Dang it now I need to go order.

Thanks Jon and Crystal I actually went last night for a ride and found the turtle wax black box and will give that a try first not that it really needs it HEHE

I'm lazy and I don't want to look for it, but I thought someone had recommended a good tire shine product. What I have now is a spray bottle that won't get onto your paint on days with absolutely no wind.

I'm trying Armor All tire shine..comes with a sponge applicator that seemed to work well the 1 or 2 times I used it last fall, if I remember correctly.
