Favorite Car Wax
-
From what I have seen is that wax-as-you dry do not last long.. and either to wax's that are made to come off very easy...may last a month or so.. If I were to wax a car I would Clay bar the entire car, detar the car and then one coat of paint sealant then one top coat of regular wax
I dont think I have ever waxed my evo but I do apply rainX to the windows.. I love that stuff!!

i like the Meguiars Yellow stuff. But never apply it in the sun, then it hardens on, and you spend the next 4 hours taking it off.

How much is a full detail at Straightline Detailing? Just an exterior detail?

Meguiars 3 step

During the winter months I use Meguair's Gold Class, but in the rest of the months I use Meguair's NXT Generation Tech Wax. Best stuff ever (and smells great too).

Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car
Oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall
Torque is how far you take the wall with you -
i had my car fully cleaned at Auto Detailing and Accessories . What they did was vacuum and shampoo the seats and carpet. Then clean out the air vents with little q-tips, armoral the vinyl. then pressure steam clean the entire engine bay. then wash the car, then buff and wax it completely. The buffing helped get rid of a majority of the little scratches in the paint. i would give that place a 10 out of 10. For $230.00 even, i thought it was worth it. car looked brand new like it just came off the lot in 1996.

Personally, never felt the need to wax my cars, never had decent enough paint... When the project gets done i'll prob have it detailed and stuff... Now only if a certain member still did it...

(Depending on how deep of scratches you want taken out) Paint Sealant and or basic wax? Engine Bay? Clay Bar needed? Tar or Overspray removel needed? Prices will differ.

That is the worst stuff you can use on your vinyl. It may look really nice for the first day or so, but then it dries out your vinyl and it cracks.

^^^ isn't that like an old myth about armour all? or maybe it was the first version of the stuff.

It's true, well, at least with the Armour all we get up here in Winnipeg (Don't know if the US has a different version of it).
Destroyed the dash on my Corsica and on the dash of my buddies Mustang, both of which were in pristine condition
I'd suggest using the NXT Generation Interior Polish. That stuff is amazing, as well as the Interior Instant Detail (also from Meguiars)
