Best wax?

[Ahmad]

I do enjoy these days detailing my car, i usualy wax it after cleaning it with polishers and tar removers, and i do realy love the shine, i have used many types of waxes including the oem mercedes polish which is nice, Anyone could recomend a high gloss car wax, i would like to have a mirror effect ! is that possible i have heard about the glaze have anyone used it?

Since you enjoy waxing your car why don't you try out ZAINOS.
It's a quality wax that you would appreciate like a car show shine. :)

[Ahmad]

i will see on zainos, and guess what, you have to select a car shampoo which should not scratch the wax and waste your job that is an important point if anyone uses a dish washing soap to wash his waxed car.

dish washing soap doesn't scratch the wax, it removes it .

yes thats for sure, also there must be some oils in the paint found by the manufacturer that must be maintained and kept in the paint and the regular soaps are designed to remove all dirt and grease and will keep nothing there, you can see the how brilliant the showroom's car is.

looks like you have waxed your car before taking the pic, looks good, you can also make the gloss deeper.

Try the new NXT wax by Meguiars. It gives your car a mirror like finish.

If you read the portion where it say use dish washing soap and RINSE IT RIGHT AWAY WITH A LOT OF WATER then you would understand more why it's recommending the use of dish washing soap. And it say they don't recommend it. Now you got the point... :rolleyes: ;)

"where am I reading this portion "




dish washing soap should not be used to wash a car.

I don't see whats wrong with dish washing soap to help strip the car's old wax and grease. Just make sure you wash it al off and add a wax after. But then that's me...I could be wrong. It's work well for me for years.

Sometimes you just have to try things out to see if they work for you.

I didn't say I used it for every car wash. Only if I know i'm going to wax the car do I do it.

It's like owrking with a clean slate hehe
