Imuya Clutched October 11, 2005 Share October 11, 2005 After seeing Gen2's posts and reading Meguiar's site, felt very inspired to do some waxing. Contrary to what Soya's previous post about the GC wax being very hard to remove, i had the opposite experience. The application was harder than the removal. Maybe cos after reading the site i applied a thinner coat. The Meguiar's Even Coat Applicator (the white furry type) was a breeze to use, recommended! Anyway, the GC wax bottle says "polymer protection", so it is more of a sealant than wax? And Gen2, you're right, there are shinier ways to detail the car, but this is damn tiring compared to wiping with HG88! And on to the pics!!! ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lokturne Neutral Newbie October 11, 2005 Share October 11, 2005 Looks like quite a plastic-wet shine. Maybe it's your camera or maybe you need to polish it a bit more. Looks clean but GC's got more oomph than that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gen2 Neutral Newbie October 11, 2005 Share October 11, 2005 Hey bro, that's your baby xiao hong Well done there considering this is a hand job GC wax should not be difficult to use if you apply it thin just like wat you said I think wat bro Lokturne is saying is if you were to prep the car with a paint cleaner and a polish first than the GC wax, the finishing should be a more wet and shining look. Correct me if I'm wrong, bro Lokturne . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imuya Clutched October 11, 2005 Author Share October 11, 2005 handjob is icic, yeah, i didn't really prep the surface the previous times was a simple claying 2 weeks ago.

Gen2 Neutral Newbie October 11, 2005 Share October 11, 2005 For easy maintainance, you can use the booster wax between washes and it will not have any problem applying over GC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct me if I'm wrong, bro Lokturne . Yeah, that's pretty much what I mean. If you see Gen2's work, you have to admit it's worth the extra mile to really prep the paint before you wax it. It's true your arms can only take so much, so maybe try an all-in-one product with a bit more cleaning/polishing power. Applying a wax shouldn't take more than 30 minutes by hand. 10 to apply, take a break for 10 minutes (with that weather wax dries really quick) and 10 minutes to buff. Polishing is harder but you don't have to do it as often. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock 1st Gear October 11, 2005 Share October 11, 2005 Gen2, What's your view on the NXT Spray Wax? I'm considering using it for in-between waxing. It's either that or the other option for me would be NXT Quick Detailing Spray. BTW, I find quick detailing sprays pretty effective. The other time while my car was under a tree for 5 days, there was this dead leaf that caused a brown water stain that refused to disappear even after washing. I sprayed my old Armorall quick detailing spray and left it there for a minute or 2. The stain was easily removed after that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
