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.

QUOTE(rwilner @ May 12 2010, 01:47 PM)  QUOTE(turboman808 @ May 12 2010, 04:43 PM) They make the best wheel cleaner I have tried. Turboman is it safe for anodized wheels like our fuchs? I'm really not sure. It's the recommended cleaner for BBS wheels. I always say it's comparable to P21s but at 1/5th the price. wheel cleaner I would also recommend poor boys wheel sealant. Great product! QUOTE(Tom_T @ May 12 2010, 03:16 PM) Old school I iz! I still use the can of 1970's "Classic" 100% Carnuba Wax & do it all by hand! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) but that's on the other cars lately, since my 914's resto is a long long ways off! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) No such thing as %100 carnuba. %100 is hard as a rock and impossible to work with. Griots wax stick is about the purest wax you can buy and it's a pain in the ass to work with. No possibly way to apply it by hand. It's about 75% carnuba I think. I've used tech wax and klasse and both are great products for daily drivers(sealant not a wax). Tech Wax seems to last a very long time. Currently using Mothers reflections on the daily drivers, poor boys white diamonds glaze and nattys red wax on the 914. |
