Wax on Wax off.

Subject: Wax on Wax off. Mon Jun 22, 2009 8:32 pm

Saturday night I washed the xB cause its been getting neglected. Yesterday I was going through my garage and found a wax sample that I had got from a carshow. I was bored enuff so I started waxing it. I can believe the differnce it made. This is the first time I had ever waxed my xB in the 3.5 years I have owned it. Good stuff. I gonna wax it more often so I can keep it looking that good. LOL. Any suggestions on a good wax? I sure the stuff I was using isnt the best.

this might be a dumb questions but wax and detailers are to different things?

Subject: Re: Wax on Wax off. Tue Jun 23, 2009 4:50 pm

yes. when you wax something you pretty much laying down a gloss coat on your paint... detailer is just something you use to touch up if something on your car gets dirty.

Subject: Re: Wax on Wax off. Tue Jun 23, 2009 4:51 pm

oh ok i see, so i guess i need to buy a wax, and i guess for shows a detailer.

Subject: Re: Wax on Wax off. Tue Jun 23, 2009 8:58 pm

I want to learn how to clay bar, I wanna wax ambers car and buff it before the show. It hasnt been washed since we got it back from paint. Just good ol california duster is all we have done.

Subject: Re: Wax on Wax off. Tue Jun 23, 2009 9:02 pm

The only thing I've ever waxed was my cf hood...I don't really know how to way the body of the car...since its white....and so is the wax..

Subject: Re: Wax on Wax off. Tue Jun 23, 2009 9:12 pm

just go down to autozone and pick up some Mothers or Meguiars wax and detailer Darwin...any auto part store would have either of those and they're both good stuff.

Waxing is easy. Before anything make sure the car is spotless. When you wax... wax in small circles until you filled one section of the car like the door, hood or hatch give it a few min. to dry then take it off with a clean microfiber towel. Just remember never wax in direct sunlight or when the car is hot.

Its not hard just time consuming.

I won a case of the Lucas synthetic oil and the slick mist at a show in Vegas a couple years back. I put the Lucas oil in and 1 month later my engine blew. Sad

Subject: Re: Wax on Wax off. Tue Jun 23, 2009 11:28 pm

well i run it in all my race car oils and iv used it in all 3 scions iv had and never a problem and i put on a ton of miles

Subject: Re: Wax on Wax off. Wed Jun 24, 2009 12:13 am

yeah, I started using it at 96k miles, so I just think my motor was happy with it after that many miles of regular oil.

Subject: Re: Wax on Wax off. Wed Jun 24, 2009 12:32 am

thanks pasquale, so i have to have the car spotless first, does that mean that i need to get rid of the some water spots the xb gets?
