Justin182 11 Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Look at Polished Bliss website. Best budget Wax I've used is Swissvax Onyx, in fact its superb. Definately recommend it. I've just bought Zymol Glasur, although think I'll go for Swissvax Best of Show next as SV stuff is awesome! http://www.polishedbliss.co.uk/acatalog/natural-carnauba-waxes.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bibs 11,167 Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Tonnes! As a minimum, clay the car to give it a nice clean up, give it a good polish to flatten it out and then a couple of layers of wax will keep it nice all year Quote 88 Esprit NA, 89 Esprit Turbo SE, Evora, Evora S, Evora IPS, Evora S IPS, Evora S IPS SR, Evora 400, Elise S1, Elise S1 111s, Evora GT410 Sport Evora NA For forum issues, please contact the Moderators.

Justin182 11 Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Before waxing, you should really do the full works on the car to get the full benifits. I'd do the following, Wash Clay & De-Tar Wash again Machine Polish Might use a paint cleaner/wax prep. Seal Wax Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shaf007 0 Posted February 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Cheers lads for the info need to order some stuff then,and wait till the weather picks up Quote Link to post Share on other sites
comem47 231 Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Wax? Its 12 deg F (-11 deg C) at the moment . Maybe in 2 months time I can wrap my mind around it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
oneshot 153 Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Like the boss said Zymol - I have Zymol Royale on my car. It was professionally detailed first - paint correction to remove the swirls, clay bar, grease remover and then the wax applied by hand. Quote Dave - 2000 Sport 350 Link to post Share on other sites
Justin182 11 Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Royale! That must have cost a fortune! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

comem47 231 Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 Sunny T-shirt weather down in Georgia today. Ah but when it does snow down there you guys don't know what to do and everyone must stay home! We got the proper tools here and can go out (at least that what I tell myself is the reason we have snow like we do so we can stay in practice!!!) (now that I sold my snowmobiles there is no reason for the stuff I guess) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rocket63 137 Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 I second the Onyx. Its fabulous. I paid £85 but it is such good quality and lasts for ages and pro ratas the cost.

Simon350S 192 Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 (edited) I use Simoniz wash and wax one a year if it needs it or not. It's always applied using the industry standard 1 bucket and old sponge technique. Any one else? If I miss a bit then more soapy mix is lovingly applied to the affected areas by hand before being hosed off and left to dry. Sometimes I even drive it before it drys properly, down my bumpy broken dirt track of a drive and the finish after that is simply superb, the dirt and grit flicked up the side looking all speedy n stuff!

The Veg 0 Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 I think I've got an old bottle of Finish 2000 around here somewhere, not used since the 1990s...should still be good!
