even if you use a microfiber cloth and after 10 coats its still not shiny on my friends absolutely white 07 Corolla S,
Also I felt this sticky feeling on it and and my microfiber cloth does not glide smooth... HOW COME?

Im going to try that Turtle WAX ice on my Yaris when I get it.

It should them putting it on a car and then showing a penny slide down it,then they showed how it sheeted off water etc,I know that must waxes will do that when applied right. But,this stuff looks easier to put on that that paste wax stuff. Should I order this stuff or should I just get me some the Meguiar's NXT Generation Tech Wax which is supose to last longer than regular wax and protect the paint longer that just plain wax? But I don't what do you guys use on your Yaris?

Thanks in advance

Eventhough your Yaris is brand new, trust me, during trasit at time it left the factory, it already has grit embedded in the paint...could be salt, I don't know but the grit one cannot necessarily see, but one can sure feel it.

BEFORE you wax your new car, get Mother's clay kit and us that product per the directions....it will make a big difference in the feel of the paint, making it very slippery smooth...and for a brand new car, this is often needed...trust me, the before/after differene to your finger touch is astonding!

So what is the steps to make your car clean shine and wet looking?

Wash, Clean, Polish, Clay, Wax, Detail?

Nimble · 03-19-2007, 02:38 PM

Wash
Spot dry (no need to fully dry since you're going to clay next)
Clay
Rewash
Fully dry
Polish
Your favorite LSP (last step product) i.e. sealant or wax, I prefer sealants.

rstb88 · 03-30-2007, 04:12 PM

mothers clay is too soft in my opinion, i suggest clay magic clay bar. the grit your feeling is actually coming from rust particles that fell from the steel crates our vehicles were shipped in.

Nimble · 03-30-2007, 05:05 PM

Either Mother's, Meguiar's, CM, or Sonus will be fine.

rstb88 · 04-01-2007, 05:05 PM

Beware of Sonus grey, it causes micromarring beware, and heed the warning. please

Nimble · 04-01-2007, 11:51 PM

Agreed, try Sonus green or I like Meg's white.

jamal1984 · 04-02-2007, 12:32 AM

is Black Magic, Armor All and Eagle One are them goods?

I see some ArmorAll Car wash including wax, is that mean you don't have to wax your car again after washing your car with ArmorAll Car Wash & Wax.

car wash w/ wax is just car shampoo w/ wax effect...but its not the same as actually waxing ur car

Yeah, not even close, it's a gimmick.

Vervepipes · 04-04-2007, 06:31 PM

On my old vehicles I used the colour match wax by turtle wax, it really hides scratches well if you have them. I also use a 10 or 12" orbital polisher and it saves a lot of time on the process (make sure the pad is contacting the car's surface before you turn it on! It goes everywhere otherwise)

jmjonesey · 04-12-2007, 03:20 PM

Wow, The Turtle Wax ICE works wonders, I can see from my third floor apartment, that I have the shiniest car in the whole lot, even more than the new chrysler 300m that someone just bought

To top it off, this is the first time I have ever polished/waxed a car, and it turned out damn near perfect!

look like turtle wax ice is winning over Meguiar. Seriously i tried Meguiar's polish and wax on my old pathfinder and hardly shine at all, i don't know if i did it right.

My results were good with Meguiar's ~ I could see my reflection

Basically you gotta wash it first....then Scratch X (gets rid of scratches and defects) then paint cleaner (bring out shine in paint), then the polish and protect (gives it a wet look.....I use the Meguiar's Wet look polish and protect) then Wax.....(I use Gold Class Wax)

Here are some pictures of my room mate's Camry Sportivo I worked on just a few days ago ~ Need to clean my car soon too ~

Well because we have water restrictions here ~ I used the 2 bucket washing way in my garage ~ So one with the wash and one with plain water to clean it ~ This is slower of course.....all together from Wash to final wax ~ 6 - 7 hours ~

I like the results though ~
