Waxed again... lol Lots of pics. (56k Not sure)
Saturday, May 27, 2006 9:21 AM
Still a phone cam, but a lot better resolution than my old phone cam. Waxed it twice. Once with Meguiar's liquid wax, don't remember which kind, and then with Meguiar's Tech paste wax. Also a little Armor-All shine for the tires. Here are a few pics I took this week of the Fire. It was extremely sunny out when I took some of the pics so the glare off the car fugged with the picture a little bit in a few of them.

you still haven't gotten rid of those god forsaken seat covers?
def looks clean, once u get a higher quality cam to take pics with rather than a phone, will do the car a lot more justice in pics, ad wheels that are small to begin with that also have a thick lip make them look like roller skates lol


On the other hand....you have other fingers.

I just bought a 20 inch widescreen ultrasharp flat pannel..I'm going to have to subscribe to the high quality porn places now......damn

Double waxing can be bad. Wax build up can occur. I tried double waxing once and it doesn't increase the shine, but you'll get a yellowish film/powder on the car due to the excess wax. You won't notice it unless you rub your finger on the car.

Now mod that thing.

Not dissing your job well done. but i do hope you know to get the best shine you simply do not 'wax it' and call it a day. I would highly advise using a cleaner, then polish, THEN a wax to seal it all in.

lol I did wash the car before I waxed, lol. That's a given. especially since I live out in a little country town in PA there are so many bugs I hit it ain't funny. I don't think the car would look as good with bugs waxed onto it, lol. The car gets washed at least once a week, sometimes twice. I polished and waxed a few weeks ago when I gave the car it's first wax for the warm season. I used that new stuff from Turtle Wax called "ICE". It's clear and really gives it a bad ass shine.

^^ no no.

I am not talking about cleaning it, because thats a given. I am talking about a cleaner like this:

then after that since the finish will be a bit dull, you will want to use a polish or a glaze such as these:

then you will want to finish off the job by using some sort of wax to seal in the shine such as the Nxt gen paste or liquid.

Of course, I recommend using some sort of glass cleaner, and also some tire shine to complete the job

As you can see, its pretty much a 3step process. Simply "waxing" your car is not doing much except locking in small dirt particles.

If the pics dont work since I linked them from meguiars.com sorry.
