not really satisfy with those washing place, even through they are hand wax,
would rather do it by myself.
anyone can give some tips on how to do a good hand wax?
and which wax shall i use?

 

get yourself a buffer, that should help a little bit

 

I like Klasse All-In-One followed by P21S or Pinnacle Soveriegn. Buffers are good for those with experience and the right products. It can greatly reduce work time and improve quality of the job.

The people on this board remove the tires to clean the inside of the wheels.

I agree with the others suggesting you check out www.autopia.org . The place offers a great bare bones no nonsense way to detail correctly for the beginner. Most of it is common sense but once you realize how much of a difference it makes, you will be amazed.

 

TCM takes the wheels off my TT LOL and even waxes the calipers!! That is what I call top-notch work and "attention to detail"...If any of you are in the Boston are you definitely need to visit TCM
TC - I think you should add a link to your site in your sig (assuming its allowed)

 

Thank you for the kind works Mansour. I have thought about adding the webpage but do not want to offend members or other sponser who pay to be on this site. It is not fair to them. People can reach my site through the webpage icon below my posts.

 

I agree with greyghost and the autopia crowd. I actually use the Klasse All-In-One followed by the Klasse High Gloss Sealant glaze before topping off with Pinnacle Souveran . I found this idea at autogeek.net. Wow!!! What a deep, complex, rich shine.

Here is my personal procedure. I do this entire procedure once every 6 months and just re-wax about every 4-6 weeks...

1. Wash the wheels first! I use Sonus Gel Wheel Cleaner.

2. Next, wash the car with Sonax High Gloss Shampoo and a good microfiber mitt. Dry with microfiber drying towels.

3. Remove all old wax with Pinnacle Cleansing Lotion and a microfiber pad. This strips the car back to the clearcoat and removes all surface impurities. Buff off with a good microfiber buffing cloth.

4. Clay the car with Pinnacle Poly-Clay. Rubbing the clay across the finish of the car (with a spray lubricant) removes embedded oxidation, road oils and tar, and other contaminants, leaving a super-smooth finish. Buff off with a good microfiber buffing cloth.

5. Apply Klasse All-In-One sealant with a microfiber pad. This is an acrylic sealant (not a wax) and will provide a hard, glossy, protective coat for 3-6 months. Buff off with a good microfiber buffing cloth.

6. Apply Klasse High Gloss Sealant Glaze with a microfiber pad. This is another (super-thin) acrylic layer that adds even more gloss to the finish. Buff off with a good microfiber buffing cloth.

7. Acrylic finishes are very glossy and shiny, but they lack the depth of a good Carnauba wax. To address this, apply a layer of Pinnacle Souveran Carnauba wax on top of the acrylic finish with a foam pad and then buff off with a good microfiber buffing cloth. This wax adds a depth to the shine that is just gorgeous - especially on red and black cars.

8. Wax the wheels. Most people don't even think to do this, but it makes the wheels much easier to clean.

9. After waiting 24 hours, a second layer of Pinnacle Souveran Carnauba adds even more depth.

 

I just bought the Zaino products for my 99' 996, and couldn't have been happier with the results after the first application. The price is reasonable as well. (www.zainobros.com)
