Quick questions, how do you all feel about mothers powerball to apply wax? How often should wax be applied?

Have you tried it? Phil says their cutting polish is practically a one stepper too.

Don't knock our Paint Correcting Polish (or anything else for that matter) until you try it. I've one-stepped dozens of vehicles with it and it yields great results. WORLDS better than the old 3-step polishes, for sure.


And yes, we haven't sold or shipped the old polishes for well over a year...closing in on 2 years now I think. Severe Swirl Remover, Swirl and Haze Remover, and Fins Machine Polish is the old juice. Paint Correcting Polish and Paint Finishing Polish is the "new" juice.

Depends on what wax you are using.

Hmmm. Interesting. Well I can't wait to see the results from the gentleman that is getting this kit!

Well what wax should I use? I'm open to suggestions... Was going to stick with their wax but I'm indifferent.

But anyway if you want my opinion. Chemical guys Pete's 53 is the best value. It lasts as long as blackfire Midnight Sun, it beads water extremely well, and allows for an easy pooling rinse.

In my opinion that is the biggest difference in OTC waxes. Meguires gold class carnauba from Walmart provides the same protection as any higher quality wax.


Higher quality waxes bead water much much much better, and they are much easier to put on and take off.

Cool. I'll look into it. I really like waxes that don't stain black trim.. I have lots of back on my car so it makes it easy
