Mother's 3 step waxing

Post by dennisdrive »

I did the 3 steps waxing using Mother's 1) Pre-wax cleaner , 2) Sealant & Glaze, 3) Meguair's Gold Class wax today and it took me in total 4 hrs to complete it ,towards the end when i was buffing the wax i couldn't move my arm The finish was NICE - deep and wet look .Just that the sealant didnt remove all the swirls .There are still some visible here and there .

Do you still have enough strength left to click a few pics of your nice pretty vibe?

Wash, polish, wax. Clay bar on some crud on the bumper too. Could hardly move my fingers afterwards.Anyway, I've been told to make sure to put the polish on and clean it off in straight-line, back-and-forth motions. Takes out the swirls. If you use a circular motion, it can make them show up more.

I know how you feel. I used to do that for a living. Three to five cars a day. Of course I used a wheel and or buffer.

Alas i didn't get to take any pictures .But the finish is so much better .The paint has so much more depth and shine to it .It also has a nice wet look .I would advice it to vibe owners who have darker colour coz it brings out the beauty of the paint finish .

I know ;coz it is brutal on your shoulders esp if you are doing more than 1 car . 1 car itself is a uphill task .I was thinking of getting a rechargable orbital polisher / buffing agent from Canadian tire .Any suggestions ? Also any advice onto how to use them would be so very welcome.I havent used one before and a bit apprehensive as to use one .Some forum post have said that you could spoil the finish if you have no exprience using one .
