MAGMA RED... What's the best wax for it?

littlejuanito · 03-27-2015, 09:13 PM

Would anyone care to recommend an ideal wax to use on the Magma Red Z?

Thanks.

the color of your car has no bearing on the wax you use. whatever wax you used before is good. By the way, I do love the magma red.

Thanks, this Magma Red has a life of its own and glowing most beautifully when sunny. BTW, I thought there would be specific waxes for specific colors, but if any good quality wax will do, then it's all good.

there are sh%$loads of good ones out there. I like Griots best of show wax, and occasionally use p21s. Goes on super easy, and off even easier.

Blackfire Wet Diamond looks great with all shades of red. Easy to apply and long lasting, too.

collinite 915. or if you want some layering method Klasse twin and top with collinite 915.

I prefer collinite 476S or trade secret for my topper if going the wax route. Really anything will look fine with the proper paint prep.

Griots is what I use on my SR. I also really like Griots QD, they had a huge sale at one of the auto shops on Griots and I figured I would give it a shot. Griots seems to be really soft, goes on easy comes off easy. Prep well and use the right applicators and you will have glass.

On another note is it wrong that I like to get my Z dirty in 5 minutes just so I can spend 5 hours detailing it again....
