you just need to remember that red has no clearcoat so results may vary big time...

 

wtf? Where'd u get that from?

 

wow, ummm, dude red has clear. it has since like the 1970's, lol. the only problem w/ red is it has the weakest pigment and fades very easily compared to other colors, but it should stay like new if u maintain it

 

I use Meguiars Polish and Meguiars Gold class wax will get you shining like this!





I wash the car... then i put the polish on 1st. then i apply the wax on 1 side of the car and let the sun bake the wax in. for 20 mins then i tun the car on the other side facing the sun and let the sun bake the 2nd side for another 20 mins... my version of a hot wax lol........ then buff it off..
Wahh-Lahh! u guys are scaring me though cuz i wax my ride every saturday... (weather permitting) i dont wax my cf hood though... i dunno if i should

 

do a search on the evo owner's complaints about the RR paint job. Some bodyshops have even said that it's a single stage paint job as well.

Wade, you use NU Finish? I never knew that..but it looks great all the time man...

 

I claybarred, glazed, and waxed using NXT Tech Liquid Wax. I dunno...i like it, but it's not the BLING WET LOOK i was looking for. And the 'throw the terry towel across the car and see if it slides' test did not do so well. I used Mother's Carnuba Paste Wax prior and the towel slid off like it was butta. I only did one coat of NXT Wax and I might do another tomorrow to see if it makes a difference.

 

i feel you on that one pick. i'd do 2 coats myself... but after the wasn polish and 1 coat of wax... im so beat! and thirsty hungry & hot.. hahahah so i just drive off... maybe this weekend ill try to double up on the wax coats

 

OH true that man~! Sometimes I feel my car has enslaved me. I put her ahead of eating and resting. Sometimes during the process I would just take a quick break, look at my ride as she stares at me and says "Yeh that's right biatch...keep rubbin." It's a weird feeling, hehe.

But now in the night time under the street light, you can see the glassy shine to it. Thing I noticed, the car collects a lot of dust. My g/f ran herfinger through it, all nice and smooth, but her finger was black. I quickly took my Cali Duster out and wiped her down, yeh the car...hehe.

 

lol @ "yeah thass right bisssshhhhhh!" lol and it does become a dust magnet. i keep a towel under the seat and dust off my ride in the morning.. i try not to do it every morning.. dont want my neighbors to think im crazy lol

 

hmm, I got a bottle of that Turtle Wax ultra gloss (liquid) that you had and it worked great for me. The water still beads up on my car like 3 months later. Before I used that wax though, I used Mother's cleaning wax (liquid). Maybe that would make a difference. I am going to switch over to Meguiars though before Hot Import Nights: Cleveland and give their wax a try. I think my dad just bought a bottle of it. I always hear good stuff from Meguiars. Mother's is also a really good wax. If anything I'll just go back to Mother's. I trust their wax/polish the most. When I wax my yellow OZ with it, it looks like a banana creamsicle.. lol. mmm good enough to eat. I also used that canabura wax, and it even smells like banana's rofl.

 

lol, you're not crazy, I used to keep a microfiber towel in the back of my old talon (eclipse conversion) to wipe the dust off my ride after I got done driving down the road.. I would pull into a parking lot and wipe off my ride, then drive off again. lol. But that was only after I put on my body kit and had a nice new coat of paint on it. haha.

 

once you use meguirs... i promise that u wont go back... Meguirs Gold class. it has this shiny black luxury car on the box. its like 12 $ a bottle but worth every penny!!

 

try getting it waxed on a car wash.... car detailing shops does a great job on my car..

 

Even after the wax job, I still noticed that I got some massive bad swirl marks on my ride. What do you guys use to take that ish off?
