WAX ON WAX OFF
I didn’t see a car care section so I’m posting this here. :shrug01:
What kind of wax do you all use? I’m always looking for a new product or something that really works and last longer then two weeks. It’s really hard for me to get a great shine so if you know of any special secrets please share. :bigear: |
I've been using Rejex lately and like it a lot. But one problem for us Floridians is that the instructions say not to apply it if temps are above 85 degrees....
But this is more of a polish or "shine enhancer" rather than a wax. |
I use a lot of online product "boutique" from some of the car care forums such as:
http://www.detailcity.org/forums/ http://www.properautocare.com/menzer...FQZ-NAodh0yr9w http://www.poorboysworld.com/ I start with a good car wash product, polish if I need to buff out scratches or spider webs, apply a good sealant such as Menzerna FMJ, and 24 hours later a coat of Poorboys "Natty's Blue" carnauba wax. Hard to get a better shine and it should last about two months +-. Spritz with a spray wax after washing and your wax will last even longer..................Tom |
Myself personally I use Adams products. Earlier this year I had my black Z06 parked at a friends new construction and his sprinkler came on hitting the side of my car. It was in the sun and 1/2 an hour. later I took the car home and immediately washed it but those damn spots wouldn't go away. I tried wax, everything, but nothing worked. I emailed Sal Zaino, Adams, and Autogeek. Zaino suggested that I use some abrasive product he sold, Autogeek never responded, but I got a email from Adam Pitale telling me of a special water spot removing product he had. He said he doesn't advertise it because the instructions needed to be followed exactly, but he was willing to sell me a small bottle. We communicated a few times and I ordered a bottle for twelve dollars. Well let me tell ya, a few days later I recieved a big box from Adam, it was a product he sells called "Absolute Essentials Kit". This product sells for $129.00. It had all his products, Butter Wax, Ph-neutral Car Wash Soap, Clay Bar, Detail Spray, VRT, Revive Polish, Scratch & Swirl Remover, two microfiber towels, applicator pads, and detail sponges, and one plush wash pad, plus a great bucket. I guess he is very genereous when it comes to giving products away, as the end result for him is great advertising like my response here. His products are absolutely great and easy to use. I have talked to Adam many times both in emails and on the phone, and he is a great person to deal with. I have never seen a shine like I get with Adams products. I am very anal when it comes to my cars, I wouldn't hesitate recommending Adam, or any of his products, not because he gave me a bunch of stuff for free, but because they work. Trust me you will not be disappointed, and if you are he will refund your money no questions asked. I also use a Porter Cable 7424 buffer, absolutely harmless for your paint. The pictures below are reflections of me in my hood after I used his produts to get rid of my water spots. Great stuff, great guy, visit him at http://www.adamspolishes.com/index.cfm He would make a great vendor to have here.

Recently I tried Adam's Polishes and I'll never switch back. I've bought gallons of his stuff! At first I bought the Absolute Essentials kit which includes:
1.Car Wash 2. Wash Pad 3. Clay Bar 4. Detail Spray 5. VRT (Vinyl Rubber & Tire dressing) 6. Swirl & Haze Romover 7. Revive Polish 8. Butter Wax 9.Three Microfiber Polishing towels 10.Three Microfiber Applicator pads 11. Three Detail Sponges 12. Microfiber Drying Towel 13. 4.25 Gallon Bucket w/ Spin-off Lid 14. Instructional DVD 15. 1/2 Gallon Refill of Detail Spray 16. 12 oz Leather Conditioner 17. 16oz Brilliant Spray Glaze 18. Refill Funnel I love all the products and they are so easy to use. I clay bar the Z once every six months or so. I wash it once every 2 weeks maybe and it stays looking sharp. The guy has the best customer service around. He guarantees his products 110%. Don't like it, get a refund plus 10%. He gives his cell phone number out for customer use. The only time he doesn't answer is when he's with a customer. Sorry for the hard sell, but I really believe in this guys products. I noticed Nytro beat me to the punch! I was even going to mention trying to get Adam as a vendor here. He also gives a 10% discount for being a Z06Vette.com or Digital Corvettes member. |
TK, I'll have all my products at the show on Saturday if you want to try them. Oh, and not only are they easy to use, they smell great! The detail spray smells like candy! Probably an aphrodisiac in there. :hehehe:

Did you ever try Zaino products, and if so, how did they compare? I have been using Zaino for a few years with no complaints, but I am getting ready to claybar the '01 again and lay down a base of whatever. If there is something out there that is better than what I am using would love to know now. Thanks Rich |

In dealing with them a few times though, I'm sure Adam's customer service outshines the competition. Pun intended. You won't be sorry for trying Adam's either way. Here's his contact info that he freely gives out. Adam Pitale Founder / Adam's Polishes 310-344-4290 - Cell adam@adamspolishes.com www.adamspolishes.com Nytro, don't know if you saw this or not, but Adam had to change the name of his wax to "Buttery" wax. Here's the explanation from Z06Vette. Quote:
