Yes, correct. I did give it a try and liked it. I had been using armor all extreme, that had nice results (and even better advertising), but there were some things about the residue I didn't like.

Unfortunately I have two cars I love, so I'll need to do the 4Runner as well. I like the idea of a good, long term sealant followed by a nice wax. Might try something different on the 4Runner to broaden my first hand experience.

Ive used a variety of waxes as I love to try them out. The gold class from meguiars really makes your paint pop, its carnauba based. I have tried both Meguiars Ultimate and NXT and they wont pop as much but they sure make it last for months on end. I recently used the Griots Garage Best of show wax and it was amazing as well! Maybe later I will try some Pinnacle sovereign or something but for now, that's all I can comment on.

I tried Collinite 845 last week over Liquid Glass and was very pleased with the results.

I've been using chemical guys products and I must say I'm very pleased w the outcome. By far the best products I've used.

P21S concours. Nice thin coat on top of Wolfgang deep gloss sealant 3.0. You won't be disappointed.

I've read in other threads and forums about the Turtle Wax Liquid Ice for my pearl white. And I gotta say its pretty nice, no white residue, you can hit the lights, chrome, rubbers and plastics with no problems. Coated them all. Clear bra was fine too.

I have never used Meguiars NXT, but would like to get a bottle next time just to try it out. If it not as good on white, I'll just use it on the silver Accord.

Hey bro, Ill give you a warning now, NXT and Ultimate from meguiars is clear/white. Putting it on a white car is a PAIN when you cant see where its going. You will always be low on the side to make sure you can see it at some angle when applying it. I put it on one of my older DD cars and it did amazing results wise but seeing where it was applied was a pain. :shakes head:

I use Auto Magic professional detailing products on my Z and S550. #69 Hydro Shine can be sprayed onto all surfaces after a wash while you dry the car. Won't leave white residue anywhere. I use Clay Magic Blue to keep the surface super smooth.

Sprayway is also my choice for glass cleaner. I spray onto a damp towel, clean the glass, then wipe with a dry towel.

Meguiar's Black does a nice job...

I like to clean the glass with liquid glass. No water spots and rain beads like...uh...something that beads a whole lot (lost for a good simile).

I use Auto Glymn high definition wax,
Its the best.
Their plastic&rubber sealer is fantastic.Use it on interior/exterior anywhere you would
use a Armoral(yuk!)type protectorant.Even on engine pats!

Zymol, rejex sealant and zaino are among the best I have used or seen.
If you have clear film then use Zymol or xpels sealant
