Sealed Paint & Carnuba Waxed!
 
It doesn't get any cleaner and flawless than this. Used Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealer and Wolfgang Carnuba wax. Also sealed plastic headlight housing and taillight housing. Hope you enjoy the blue pics.

Looks great...though, I stay away from carnuba. Melts/yellows. :)

CBRich 06-15-2009 04:42 PM

Flawless victory. Looks great. Any clay bar or other prep work?

zaino FTW

Pushing_Tin 06-15-2009 04:50 PM

Beautiful! But I also stay away from the carnuba.

Isn't carnauba wax bad for your clear coat?

scorpion90 06-15-2009 06:40 PM

Products I Used.
 
The carnuba wax I was refering to is actually a blended wax. Here's the link to the products I used.

Wolfgang Fzion Carnauba Polymer Estate Wax, carnauba car wax, show car wax, polymer wax, paste wax, Wolfgang German car care

Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant delivers a deep, wet, liquid shimmer unlike anything you can imagine.

I didn't use any clay bar cleaner since the car was made in 4/09 and didn't appear to have any surface contamination yet.

Not to jack the thread, but what do you use to clean the windows? Everything I've tried looks like ****...

Don't burn me on this, because I actually haven't done it myself, but I've heard that spraying Windex onto a towel and using it to wipe the glass works (as long as there isn't any kind of application already on it, like rain-x or similar). Frankly, I'd just polish the windows with some clean microfiber or cotton terry...

Looks great! Was the Wolfgang Paint Sealer hard to remove? AutoGeek says leave it on for 45 minutes and then remove.

Looks really good. Carnuba blends have their ups and downs, but they are used on some of the finest show cars in the world. Zymol has carnuba blends that cost thousands of dollars so there must be something to them.

If your windows are not tinted use a quick detail spray. Cleans and seals them up real nice with no streeks. If tinted, quick detail the out side and use an ammonia free cleaner on the inside.

One_Quick_Z 06-16-2009 10:44 AM

Zymol <---

All natural no added harsh chemicals

Great on white and silver cars

And as for windows use Rain X glass cleaner and sealer this stuff really works I was hesitant but bought a can and I wont use anything else now!!

Ok first product tried was the Rain X IMO waste of money. Streeks every where. Then used windex with vingar in it. Not much better, then a buddy at work. said to try the Stoners invisible glass. Well that seemed to do no better. Sprayed quick detailing spray on and that seemed to do the best so far.

Thanks for all the info guys.

Maybe the towel is dirty... Wash it and air dry it.
Or maybe you're just using too much of the cleaner.
Stoner's is famous for working extremely well on any glass.

+1

Use a quick detailing spray and a piece of newspaper. Probably the best combo I've ever used to clean my windows.

Stoners Invisible Glass is really good as is Griot's Windshield cleaner.

Griot sells a thick pressed paper towel for windshield cleaning that is exceptional for preventing streaks and helping get both sides clean
