On previous cars, I have used Meguiars Mirror Glaze medium cut cleaner, mirror glaze new car glaze and then NXT wax but have used several different waxes in the past including 3m. All applied with Meguiars "softbuff" pads and taken off with 3m waffle pads using a Porter Cable orbital buffer. The medium-cut cleaner (sounds harsher than it is) takes the place of a clay bar.
The biggest difference in the finish to me is the addition of the glaze and then wax and apply/remove with the orbital machine. It achives shine and gloss that I never could by hand.
Oh well I am sure everyone here has their prefered method and products. |
