Your car is beautiful, WOW,,, that's a shine-->

Do you recommend your three step process for new cars?

 

I've always used ClearKote Vanilla Moose Wax Hand Glaze and Carnuba Moose Wax, after clay barring. Since you guys have brand new paint jobs, there's no need to clay, but after some time outside (especially if you don't garage), you'll need it.

On a brand new car, if you do not have swirl marks you can skip the All-in-one step. I had to use it since I had not waxed my car since last year. You could certainly use the other 2 products. My reason for that combo is the Klasse is acrylic based and they claim it lasts up to 12 months. That way as the Pinnacle wax breaks down I know I still have a layer of protection underneath. As each month passes, if the paint still looks good I can just apply another coat of wax. Besides, it only takes an ounce of Klasse to do an entire vehicle. The Pinnacle just makes it look a little wetter and deeper.

 

Thanks for the advice-->

 

Exactly the regimen I've being using for years.

 

Thanks for all the info!

I have called Auto Parts stores (OReilly, etc.) no luck finding Klasse, do you know of a national chain store who carries Klasse or is it available only online?

 

I order mine online from autogeek.net

 

Auto geek.net has ridiculous shipping charges! They wanted 40 just for shipping. I went to amazon and got the pinnacle from a local retailer! Thanks for the info. I can't wait to get her back from the body shop and spend some time with her.

 

Good to know. I usually always order more than $95 worth of stuff so shipping is free.

 

I did too everything was $115 plus $40 shipping. Free shipping is now over $500. Things have changed. Then I just ordered the Kaisse high gloss sealant and they still wanted 30 for shipping. = 50. amazon was 5 more for the wax and 10 for shipping $35. You will see next time you order

 

Guess I will wait until they do the $95+free shipping deal again before I order more stuff. LOL

 

Definitely post up when u c it and I'll do the same if I notice it

 

Stick with croftgate for the weekly clean and eagle 1 for tires. For shows though i use pinnacle and wolfgang stuff. The wolfgang sealant with a layer of croftgates quick n slick makes for one glorious shine and crazy layer of protection
All these pics are with an hours work of croftgate and claybar

 

One of these days I might give Croftgate a try. I am still wondering how the product will last since it is relatively new on the market. I refuse to use a waterless car wash though.

 

Well its waterless lol. But theyve been around for several years now and theyve been the favorite of guys around the country. Really exploded since guys all over sema got their hands on the stuff. I for can vouch that they last for quite a while. Aquanil-x will last just as long as any other top name wax and then the quick n slick sealant lasts at about 4 months if properly maintained (dust the car evry so often, use a micro with a couple sprays of aquanil for a touch up each week)
Mega polish just adds to the shine and clarity of the paint. Just give it a shot, order the sample pack and watch some videos. Lemme know what you decide to do!

Tried the Turtle Wax ICE today for the first time....liked what I saw so far...especially since it does'nt leave white residue on the trim.

 

Been waxing for years and have used several good quality waxes. The Ricks Best Carnauba Wax is the best I've used so far. When I put my car next to others, you can really tell a difference in product. It's static free and gives your car a "dive in" look!

Turtle Wax Magic Color Black. I like it a lot, it does a pretty good job at hiding minor scratches.
