First Detail

So, finally got around to my first waxing. I used Meguiars new 2.0 wax.

http://www.amazon.com/Meguiars-G1271...dp/B0002UQATS#

Very easy to use and shines like crazy.




When I get some money, I'm going to have a paint correction done. Orange peel on this car is terrible! For those that complain the second picture is upside down, turn your monitor the right way.

Very nice...they still make the NXT? Funny I just threw away an old bottle of that last night, didn't realize it was still in my cabinet in the garage. You really should try the Blackfire Crystal Sealant, so much easier than an wax and glosses so nice. Should hold up a lot longer than wax.

That's my next product to try. Can I put that on top of wax, our do you have to start fresh after taking wax off?

From what I've read, you really want to strip all the old wax off first. I'd wait until you're ready to wax again, then wash it with Dawn (to remove any remaining wax), then follow Glen's guides.

Yup. That's the plan. Couple weeks left.
