What kind of waxes/detailing products are you guys using?

[mosaud1998]

I've been using meguiar's 3 in 1 wax. I've been using meguiar's products since I had the Accord (2015). No complaints.

I also use mothers CMX that I spay on after the car is waxed. Usually two coats. Then let it cure for 1-2 days

For the leather seats, I use chemical guys leather cleaner and conditioner.

For the wheels, soap, and water

Tires, meguiar's tire gel.

Interior, damp microfiber, and a boars hair detailing brush.

Car wash soap, I don't think it really matters but I use Meguiar's Car Polymer Wash & Wax.

I used the regular Mothers Carnauba Wax for a while and someone bought me a can of Collinite 476S but have yet to use it. My cars aren't nice enough to fuss over wax and detailing brands. The stuff you can buy off the shelf at Walmart seems to be fine (Mothers, Meguiars, etc.)

Soft99 Fusso Coat polymer sealant wax.

I used Meguiars, Adams and I'm starting to use more of the Turtle Wax products. Still looking for the perfect wheel cleaner!

gNuFinish, all I ever use. Tough enough to withstand months of equatorial African heat and rain. Plus it has a wonderful 'earthy' fragrance.

I alternate currently I’m using Turtle Wax Hard Shell wax but have a good selection of others here too like Mothers Carnuba and some Meguiars too. Then I’ve got Turtle Wax Rubbing Compound and Royal Pine air fresheners to go with that. Got more too probably. 🙂

There new products have pretty good end results.

I've got one more meguiars waxes to go through (Meguiars ultimate paste wax).

Then I'll probably try turtle waxes stuff.

I recently switched over to Turtle Seal n Shine as my only paint protectant. Still have bottles of regular wax(mothers synthetic, CG butter, Turtle SHS, & Collinite 845). They certainly have their places but overall I love seal n shine. Easy to apply, last longer than any other wax I’ve had, and the only wax I’ve used that gets slicker over time.

I have Meguiar’s leather cleaner/conditioner but none of my new cars have leather anymore. My interior gets wipe down with water/microfiber then topped with aerospace 303.

My soap is whatever I have. Some turtle wash & wax, adams shampoo, griots pink soap. Even have some left over boat soap that I use.

I have a mish mash of stuff I pick up along the way, this is an old pic.

I just bought some Graphene Infused Flex Wax from Turtle Wax Pro Line. On, and off very easy. Put it on my 2018 Titan SV. It looks great. Sorry, attempted to attach pics, but no luck. Open to help.

How do you apply the CMX? Do you clay first then apply it? Or clay, wax/polish then CMX?

Here's how I'm gonna go about it on Sunday:

1. Wash/dry car (two bucket method)
2. Inspect paint for imperfections with hand in a sandwich bag.
3. If I feel imperfections, I’ll use Adams iron remover.
4. Wash off Adams iron remover. Inspect paint with hand in a sandwich bag again.
5. If I feel imperfections still I’ll clay. If not I’ll skip step 5 and go to step 6. If I do feel imperfections, I’ll clay then go to step 6
6. Apply Mothers CMX. Let it cure for 24 hours.
7. Use detail spray to wipe the surface then add another layer of CMX. Let the second layer cure for a day.
8. Final step, use detail spray to wipe surface then apply a coating of MEG ultimate liquid wax for added protection a depth.
