Paint Care Waxes, Sealants, Coatings & Glaze

Still using old school stuff, usually Meguiars's liquid and satisfied. Do any of you use other brands or types of coatings that are the greatest since sliced bread? If so, please share your thoughts.

Be well.

Sugar Bear,

I just Clay Bared my Car with Meguiar's Clay Bar and Quick Detail and then Hand Waxed it with Mothers Synthetic Liquid Wax. I have also been using a lot of Chemical Guys Products here lately. This is 46 year old paint!

Collinite’s “Insulator Wax” is an Oldie but a goodie. Applies easily, polishes easily, slick as a politician with hands in other’s pockets, lasts very well. The metal polish shown above is good stuff too.

This stuff is great for chrome bumpers and wheels:

I've found that the brand is less important than technique......a golf analogy being expensive clubs can't mask an ugly swing.

My most significant addition is a Griots DA polisher. A good machine is WAY better than doing it by hand. (that's what she said, anyway).

Meguiar's, Griots, Collinite etc etc....I think they all make good products, it's just a matter of personal taste. Meguiars does seem to have a product for every circumstance though.

For my daily driver....I've always had good luck with Zaino's all in one as well.

Cheers,

Troy

This is pretty much what I refer to when it comes to dealing with the paint on the Cutlass....

(not sure if it's kosher to link to another forum.....my sincere apologies if this is not kosher...)

I use this stuff as spray detailer, works good on my 10y/o paint. Its about $27.00/gallon through amazon. I also use Meguiars Scratch remover.

Rejex, a sealer used on airplanes. It lasts a long time, even on aluminum and chrome rims. I buy it on Amazon or skygeek.com

Eric, I'll have to look that up on Amazon next time I run low on spray detailer. It's so much cheaper to get the big bottles.
