is their such a thing as a buffer you can attach to a normal drill and if their is are they worth it to take off the wax...

 

There's probably something like that out there but, I certainly wouldn't recommend it.

 

Ouch. Most of us don't even use D/A's for removing wax. It works much better and is much faster to do so by hand. applying, on the other hand, is much faster and easier--not to mention less tiring...

The Powerball from Mothers or flitz ball from some other company exist, but I'd only use them to buff a toolbox, grillguard, wheels (if uncoated aluminium), etc... NOT paint.

 

thanks for the advice and i wont be gettin one...i will just take the time and do it all by hand...i was just lookin for something to make it look better...and also i bought some meguairs gold class wax...is that any good...?

 

It looks good enough IMO, but it isn't all that durable. Makes a great topper. Plan on rewaxing every 2-3 weeks. (at least)

btw--if you have a DA, it'll go faster only on applying it. taking it off is faster by hand since the towels don't gunk up as fast and you have much more control with them.

have fun!

 

i just waxed my truck and i wanted to do another coat...how long do i need to wait till i can...thanks....

 

Waxed with what? If it was a carnauba-based wax, you're good to go immediately after the first application. If it was a synthetic, the general rule of thumb is 12+ hours.

 

what type of wax do you guys recomend??

 

What are you trying to achieve?

Looks? Long term durability? Show car?

 

i waxed with Meguairs Gold Class Wax...hope that helps...

 

Yeah... you're going to want to follow up with another coat immediately. Further, you're going to want to apply that particular product often as it's a great 'show' wax but, not that great on the durability side for an everyday driver.

In a nutshell, you're going to want to reaplly frequently or maybe upgrade to a synthetic like Meguiar's NXT or Mother's Synwax.

 

will the Meguiar's NXT or Mother's Synwax hold up longer?

 

I did 3 wax layers of Zaino & had it covered in salt for 3 months, Zaino sure is tough

 

looks and long term. i live in miami and that sun is just beating down on my black truck all day long. how often should i wax too??

 

Well--How much work are you willing to put into it? For protection, you'll need a good synthetic wax (NXT, Synwax, #20/21, etc). This can be topped with a coat of carnauba to get rid of the 'saran wrap' look. If you don't mind waxing every week or 2, any carnauba is fine, but if you'd like to go 1-3 months between waxing...go syn + carnauba...

Peronally, I remove all wax every 90 days and start fresh with 2 coats of NXT and then 2 coats of #26. Every month, I add another coat of the #26 or whatever else I have laying around...
