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

[AndyP & Lenore]

Andy, you must be heavy handed. All of mine are like new, but they do go through the washing machine afterwards.

Maybe I am heavy handed then. 'Cos we definitely only get 3 or 4 washes out of them before the black elasticated wrist tears off the mit. Once that happens, they just fall off when you put it in water. We wash them after each time too.

Did have another thought today about yer wax on wax off scenario...

Why not get the car PC'd (if necessary)...then get the diamondbrite done that you are happy with?

That way you can just go play with the car

Mark-san, you're starting to sound a lot like Miyagi.

Naw, naw, naw, naw, naw..... No diamondbrite for this one. Doing this one the proper way, breaking sweat'n'all.

Good man.
You will end up getting a much better finish that you will want to strip the diamond stuff off the other car and do it properly as well.

(From the Black Wow Thread)

I have used Petes53 before and it seemed to leave a nice finish.
I found it a bit crumbly when trying to remove it from the tub though.

You could buy Zymol Carbon for £46 but you would still need Zymol HD Cleanse to put on as a pre wax cleanser before the 1st application and it is about £39.

If you dont want to go the Zymol route I have heard good reports about DoDo Juice althogh I have never actually used it.

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.

Andy,

try Race Glaze Crem Perfection - it's a Natural Carnuba Wax that doesn't leave any white residue. It's great and on my shopping list.

Craig, that's a wax - polish. So my limited knowledge tells me that means each time I use it, it will strip off the last coat I put on. So there's no point in multiple coats. Which isn't really what I'm looking for.

Remind me again, though, what is the speed detailer you and MarkyC use once you've waxed your car, each time you wash it? Turtle Wax Speed Detailer right?
