Ibiz wax for headlights3/10/2024 I just dont have that level of patience anymore. Peruvian Sovereign sells some amazing waxes which make black cars look like liquid dark chocolate. If you have the time/ funds you could go mountain climbing in the Andes and get perfect carnuba. it is hard to believe how much area a little "spritz" covers. The hardest part about using that product is NOT USING TOO MUCH. The stuff looks great on the ardent red IMO. I currently have, and will continue to use Ultima Paint Guard Plus as my "top coat" I keep a chart on the garage wall with the dates I "add layers" to get an idea how it is holding up. Adams products last time when the Lotus was new last year, and enjoyed getting to know every inch o' her with my hands.relaxing/ rewarding like cleaning a weapon or stringing an acoustic.įrom now on I will probably use Ultima Paint Guard Plus for the base layers (I forget their base product's exact name, but it a Wipe On Walk Away) (no more than 2x / year, learned this from Autopia and Zaino's webpage) claybar and then a regular (mild) wash to get all the clay and residue off. Touchups: I have tried pretty much every quick detailer there is and the only one I use now is Smartwax 20105 with a high quality micro fiber.Ī FULL DETAIL for me would be stripping everything down to clear-coat with Dawn. I was worried it would not stick to the sealant but there was a noticeable depth after 2 coats. This is the best wax I have ever used on warm colored cars. ![]() I just wanted to put this on for its anti scratch properties and am not sure if I will ever use it again. My only issue with it was that the paint didn't have the depth of color that a good wax gives.

Wiped everything down with a 25% IPA spray and wipe with a soft microfiber to remove any leftover oils or dust. Finished up with Dodo juice supernatural microprime on a lake country black finishing pad with the DA. The lube was awesome though much cheaper than using quick detailer, I also spritz my DA pads with some before putting any product on just to give a little extra lubrication.Ĭompound and polish- Sonax Perfect Finish 4/6 on a lake country orange pad with groits DA. ![]() All the clays in the US are pretty much the same since AutoWax inc./Claymagic owns the patent on clay bars but this one was a little stiffer and harder to mold than others I have used in the past.
