To wax, or to polish, what's the difference?

[Craig]

nope, Nanotech Speed Wax, made by Turtle Wax. It's not so much a speed detailer, it's just and easy to use wax. It is normally used for a quick wax when we don't have time to do a proper wax (like Zymol..)

Marky uses Race Glaze quite a bit (most weeks).

Ian, I think Zymol just seems too expensive for my first outing with waxing.

Fiona, (if you're around), did Chemical Guys 50/50 seem crub,y to you? Not sure I'm keen on "crumbly" at the price.

Now We are no experts in this field.

As we all know, it's all to do with preparation, so what ever products you think are best for that.

I've used a fair few Waxes, I read about them and think ok will give that one a go.

I know fine well there is many waxes out there and everyone has their fav ones and reason as to why.

50/50 for me I have got to say

an easier wax to apply and buff that leaves IMO very good results you will find hard to beat and it does not crumble.

On the Zymol front I have got to say that not one of the Zymol Waxes has crumbled.

Allan has melted a few tubs of our Zymol waxes (that he has ran over with the car) and then pours it in to a Load and Lock sealed tub and they are kept in the fridge. along with all the other waxes that we favour.:o :o

p.s. If your looking for a wax that you can apply to your wet motor after you have washed it and before you dry it. That helps to keep the car looking good between polishing or indeed waxing.

Then try Duragloss Aquawax. It can be hard to find the time to wax the car as often as you would like and this is a very good quick product to help keep that new waxed look.

K. Can anyone else confirm if Race Glaze is a wax/polisher which removes the last coat of Race Glaze as you put the next coat on.

Not arguing with Mr C's paint quality, super shiny and smooth, that's for sure.

Presumably, this does the same as Craig suggested Nanotech Speed Wax from Turtle Wax, as he uses that to wax the car as the car is wet, just after washing.

Was planning on using something like that after giving the car a wax with a good quality (sensibly priced) wax.

I've got some Race Glaze that I can give you at the next MiniMeet Andy. No point in spending money if I have one going spare.

not sure if Nanotech is the same as Wax it Wet.

Meguairs NXT speed wax you can use on a wet car going by the instructions on the Meguairs website.

Very kind of you Fi. But I won't avail you of it, if I'm not gonna use it. And if it is one of those waxes that waxes and polishes the last coat of wax off at the same time, I probably wont use it. However, if it is a wax that stays on each time you use it, to "layer up", I may well use it.

I would agree Fi. But the Race Glaze web site sort of contradicts that.
