What is a good wax to apply to my truck after applying Liquid Glass?

 

pinnacle souveran.

 

I checked out the Pinnacle wax website and think I need something about $75-$80 cheaper then that!

 

Lmao, what are you looking to do more reflection or just protection?

 

Yes!
I've been reading up on this subject and from what I see applying a wax after LG will make the paint pop a bit more.I see alot of people here like the NXT 2.0.

 

lol, poorboys nattys red or nattys blue. best bang for the buck. pure carnauba gives shine and decent protection. waxes arent generally used for protection, as a sealant woul dbe ideal.

look into the poorboys world. pm if you want to buy some.

 

If you want the paint to really pop apply Danase Wet Glaze.

 

NXT 2.0 has gotten some good reviews. I've had very good luck with #21 Sealant: http://www.autogeek.net/meguiars-21-...alant-2-0.html which is more or less the professional version to NXT. Added protection and gloss in one. But I'm not sure you want to apply it over the top of liquid Glass. You really shouldn't need or want to apply wax over the top of liquid glass. According to the products specs wax won't add luster, just add more coats of liquid glass for added gloss.


Here is a pic after prep work and 2 thin coats of 21.

 

Looks great man... Nice work.

 

NXT and 21 have minimal abrasives and fillers, and should not be used over any other wax or sealant product as it will defeat the purpose. What you want for more "pop" is a pure carnauba such as Megs #26 or similar.

 

Dammit man,your truck really shines! What process did you do to get it looking like that?

 

Blueoval,

First of all that pic was taken in optimum lighting fairly early in the morning with the east sun low in the sky at my back. I think that in itself lends to the pictures results.

That being said... Nothing too out of the ordinary as far as detailing goes. Hand wash followed by a quick detailer to remove any loose dirt, dust, water spots etc..

Then I clayed the entire truck using Meguiars smooth surface clay kit. Since this is a new truck the paint was already in supreme condition, I skipped the polish step and went directly to the #21 Sealant. 2 thin coats with 24 hours between them.

I think that #21 really works well with darker colors, I think you'll agree it works with darker reds. When that light hit it just right, I decided I need to get a picture of that.

 

21 and now 21 2.0 is one of my favorite sealers and does an exellent job but since he said he had wax on already I suggested Danase Wet Glaze, I think Danase gives just a little more shine then 21. Megs #26 kept my truck looking good all summer.

 

I have recently switched from Liquid Ice To MEGS products. I bought the clay bar kit, liquid detailer (of course) and the natural shine. What wax and or polish should i get?

 

If your looking to stick with Megs products there are a bunch of different ones. All of these can be applied by hand.

If you want a separate polish and wax I'd say M205 Ultra finishing Polish and NXT 2.0 are a good combo. Use the M205 and then follow it up with the NXT for dramatic shine and long protection. For ease of use you really can't beat these two.

If you want your polish and wax in one, I'd suggest Megs ColorX.

If your partial to Carnauba wax then #26 Yellow or Deep Crystal Carnauba are outstanding and produce dramatic results given the right prep work.

Here's a sampling. http://www.autodetailingsolutions.ne...t-sealant.html
