going to finish off the car this am with Griot's SprayOn Wax to top off the sealant for the ultra beading :yum:

going to order up the PrimaHydroMax this am too.. im too lazy to be using the RO for applying wax and sealants.

also ordered the meg's ultimate QD.. for removing bird crap while out in the sun. LOL

the only real QD for me is Speedshine. :icon17: but needs to be used in the shade..due to carnauba inside. polymers (meg's ultimate QD) are more resilient to hotter panels.

To early in the day kernchan to fully appreciate all the slang terms for your detailing process.

got done adding carnauba topping on my STI. :p now ready to move on out.. but one problem. STI looks better kinda dirty.. :rofl2:
at least now i wont have to worry about paint damage knowing the clear is protected.

hope to wash the engine bay and undercarriage in the coming weeks..

also ordered up hydro max :woot: cant wait to try it.

so sorry to read this today Mr Ken :iagree:

my goodness not your back again :eek:

-Clifford :tiphat:

yah, im just out of detailer's shape from lazy all winter. :rofl2: my back is fine, thanks for asking.

but i did hurt my right knee the other day, but didnt allow this cry baby to get in the way when i moved my STI wheels down to my basement. :mad: i hate whiners!!

well done Mr Ken :iagree:

waiting for better weather and will pull out the Four Star **** Ultimate auto wax
that Mr Scott sent me form Michigan :iagree:

been using carnauba on my mint Pearl White Nismo since day one :eek:

-Clifford :tiphat:

:icon17: no swimming today :ugh2: boy's and girl's :iagree:

and no cardio program today as well :iagree:

Saturdays 4 k race calls for a rest and muscle recovery time :iagree:

Completed 1 hour of stretching and yoga this morning :eekdance:

-Clifford :tiphat:

carnauba is good stuff. i use it for the pop. my Z and G uses carnauba wax, but cars parked outdoors usually get my polymer treatment. since my G is now outdoors, going to remove the carnauba when it gets warmer and apply HydroMax. it's a sealant in a spray like Hydro, but thicker and supposedly even more durable. :D

that's smart. stretching the body and resting :tup: have a nice lazy sunday. :icon17:

been using pure carnauba for 5 years on the Nismo :tup:

its a lot of up keep and apply a coat every two weeks :eek:

its a soft wax and needs a lot of attention :iagree:

I need to give the Four Star **** wax a try as its a more protective auto wax with modified polymers and much more durable :tup:

-Clifford :tiphat:

Carnauba is actually hard as rock. Depending on the emulsifier and the amount used determines how pure the wax is. This is why different brands have different chemistries for their waxes. If it washes off in 2 wks it probably has very little carnauba content and therefore needs more up keep with carnauba enhancers like the spray I used this am on top of my polymer. You can actually stack carnauba by spraying layers of Speedshine or SprayOn wax by griots after it cures. Carnauba to me has had better water beading properties while polymer has better sheeting properties. Depending on wat you want from ur clear protection.

have been using Mother Carnauba for five years straight, In the Spring time
the car is washed with Dawn dish soap to remove the build up of wax. The
Carnauba is then like you state layered on every two weeks. As the Pearl
White paint is approaching 6 years of age estimated its show car perfect
and the depth of the paint looks magnified. I do realize that the carnauba
only ever see's the clear coat itself. Thank you so much for clarifying this
topic today. Highly appreciated Mr Ken :tup:

-Clifford :tiphat:

Does mothers offer a professional line carnauba wax? That might be the quality you need mr.clifford. Off the shelf stuff is only decent at best as the intended user is usually people with little to no experience where easy to use is emphasized vs actual quality of the wax.

The sad part is dat Prima products are easier to use than consumer products with professional results. They just don't have the marketing power of big brands.
