QUOTE(sleepwalker @ Mar 25 2010, 09:18 AM) You guys must be using some really crappy wax to have it washed out in one rain session. First of all, wax is water-repellent and no rain will wash it off. Usually it is the process of the car wash with bad shampoo that does that. i use the meguiars carnauba wax ... the 3 - 1 that come with paint cleaner, polish and carnauba wax.Secondly, you should not be using quick detailing before the wax. It should the finishing layer and not medium. You want the wax to bond to the paint and finish off with the quick detailing. Lastly, what kind of carnauba wax are you using? Some really pure carnauba wax takes hours to dry before waxing off. Karate Kid style 'wax on wax off' may not give it enough time to bond to the paint. yes, last time i read from on9 forum, for clay, some people use water, some use car shampoo and some use QD as medium which is the most espensive among the 3 options btw, sealant first or wax first ? sealant not suppose to lock the wax ? hence it should be after wax ... |
