Re: Just 4 days since buffing out and wax and I'm already Posted by Slaab [Email] (#1275) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Slaab) on Mon, 1 Aug 2005 10:32:37 In Reply to: Just 4 days since buffing out and wax and I'm already, RayV, Thu, 28 Jul 2005 05:17:49 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Try a synthetic sealant, then top with a good wax. The sealant provides a good shine with excellent durability, while a wax provides excellent shine, but only so-so durability. Meguiars NXT topped with a good carnauba wax will give you a great look. Mother's and Turtle wax have simlar products. Be sure it's a pure wax you're using on top of sealant - cleaner wax will strip most or all of your sealant. And you should wait about 12 hours for the sealant to cure for optimal results - but you don't have to.
Also - try claying the car before polishing. Surface prep is a big key to your final finish, and using a claybar product will provide a pristine finish for polishes and sealants/waxes. I recommend Mother's or Clay magic - these should be available locally.
As for the cats - a good car cover should help protect the car, but won't likely keep them off (i have 2 at my house).
Good luck.
