OK...now that "pickle" is running well, I wanna turn my attention to her looks (even though she looks pretty damn good right now). I'm a carnuba kinda guy, and use Griots products. I believe in claying too. My question is, since the car is new to me, should I start from scratch by stripping whatever is on there now? I;ve done this before by washing with Dawn, but wondered if I should use a chemical wax stripper...the stuff body shops use to prep a car. Thanks in advance for your wisdom and opinions.

OK, perfect timing. I just used the Mequairs new liquid wax called NXT Generation Tech Wax 2.0 a synthetic compound. Previously used their Gold Class liquid with good success.
With my black car you have to be really careful. I don't like paste waxes and Carnuba's require too much rubbing and pressure to come off risking towel scratches but it does seem to last a long time, I just can't risk it though. The Tech 2 went on really easy and wiped off clean, easy, and a really nice gloss. So far I'm quite happy and anyone who has seen my car knows I am pretty picky about it. But if you don't like Meguairs it won't matter. I have also used the Klasse for my other cars with good success. Goes on super easy, gloss is so-so, wipes off super easy but overall doesn't last as long as others I have tried. I don't use it on the 914 |
