I drive the SSM in Colorado.

Thanks

 

i drive a NBP fit, and i live in southern california. i use Meguiar's products which work well, but i'm thinking of trying something new. has anyone used Shining Monkey products? I hear good things.
what do you other NBP fits use?

p.s. - this will probably be moved to the "Fit Care" forum.

 

VBP is Calgary. Temp was ~15 degrees C. Low humidity that day. Used Pinnacle Souveran Wax.

 

I have been using Zaino Bros. for a while now and it has been very good, but I want to try some other products to compare.

 

I've been using Meguiar's and TW Liquid ICE, just depends on how much time I have and what the weather's like.

 

2 coats of a good carnauba wax in the spring and fall and ICE liquid wax every 2 weeks in between.

 

Meguiar's is what I use considering Colorado tears up some paint! 3 days after I bought my Fit I got a rock chip! I usuallu use only carnabua wax for every car I have had so far.

 

Poorboys sealant w/ natty's blue paste wax.

 

I use Meguiar's, I would suggest using a claybar first, then waxing. I had waxed before I used the claybar and I was happy with the results but when I used the claybar and then waxed, I was amazed!

 

just finish waxing today, this is my first time using "Zymol".

 

zaino is hands down an amazing wax if you have the time. i used it on my last car (nhbp 06 SI) and it looked better than showroom condition. well worht the money.

the fit so far has a coat of meguires nxt....when the summer weather comes it will get a couple coats of zaino.

remember thought, your finish will only look as good as the time youput into it. dont expect to slap a coat of wax on and look shining. wax is only a coating, if there are scratches on your car, your simply coating over them. polish your car for best results.

 

At the moment I put on a layer of Meguiar's NXT, but when I have a bit more time I'm gonna claybar and try out Collinite Super Doublecoat Auto Wax (No. 476s).

 

Ultima Paint Guard Plus from Autopia Car Care is my sealant of choice. Incredibly easy to apply, layers well, and looks great.

 

If you find a good cleaner wax (Maguire's works well) you could do that once a year or so, Just be careful with it because if you use it too often it thins out your clear coat. 1-2 times a year will be fine for SEVERAL years worth of paint life.

 

claybar, then with meguires nex wax, in hawaii weather

 

highly recommend you visit Detailers Paradise in your neck of the woods.

what you want to get is Prima Hydro. it is a spray wax that last 3-4 wks.
You just wash your car like usual, then while drying spritz some hydro
over your panels, glass, plastics, and just wipe down with a waffleweave
MF drying towel.

tell em kenchan sent ya.

Love Meguiers Product Clay Bar and NXT Wax.

Cat :x

 

i use zymol wax on the jazz.

i use zaino on my boss's car. it's meh. not worth the pricetag.

 

cat- have you tried the NXT2.0 yet? i hear it's suppose to last a lot longer than the original NXT.

I was sold on the NXT until i found out how easily the thing washes
away. the spraywax (Prima Hydro) lasts much longer than NXT
and hells of a lot easier to apply. just mist and wipe during wipe down.

im willing to try the NXT2.0 if i hear more great reviews.

 

I just used NXT 2.0 like 3 days ago. I regret not claybar-ing it though, i just didnt have the time. I like the wax, but I'm still not happy because I can still see swirl marks. ICE is awesome too...
