Default Detailed car

Hey guys, I want to share with y'all my experience waxing my Crossfire. This evening I washed the ride and then used a Cleaner Wax. I used the Zymol wash and the Zymol Cleaner Wax and I have to say this wax was awesome. It was not difficult to remove at all. I buffed with microfiber towel before it had a chance to dry to a haze. Some areas did dry and when this happened, all it took was a little more effort. Overall Im happy using Zymol Cleaner Wax and my Crossfire looks great. Thanks

That's like saying "I took home a bombshell last night, hourglass body, *** for days, huge breast and wore a tight skimpy outfit. A perfect 10 "

Sorry, no pics.

Thanks for the waxing tip. I just wanted to see how it turned out. I have a bottle of Meguiars's cleaner wax, but I have never used it. I usually do the 2-step: polish, and then wax. It is IMPERATIVE not to let the polish dry on the paint though. It will be a SOB to get off, you may have to reapply in order to remove. I use two buffers, one to apply, one to remove. The polish step really brings out that deep shine and removes swirl marks.

Ok, cool thanks. I have a brand new buffer/polisher as well and I didn't even use mine. I'm going to have to search through the Garage to find it but I will definitely use it next time.

It feels real nice as well. Very smooth to the touch.

I love Zymol products. That and Meguirs are all I use, and it is a battle to decide whether I want to use Meguirs or Zymol in a given wash.

This was actually my first time using Zymol products and I am glad I decided to buy them. No problems whatsoever using the Cleaner Wax or the Wash. Nice smell to them and great results that I am happy with. Looks like I will be using their products from now on.

Does anyone know how soon a second coat or application of wax can be applied once the first coat is applied?

GORGEOUS! Nice work!

You can apply a 2nd coat of wax any time, though I am not sure it will make a significant difference as good as the 1st waxing looks. The only thing to watch out for is that any new paint should not be waxed for several months. The paint does actually continue to outgas and "cure" for that long.
