Yeah, it's a good wax, but you better be able to sell it or love the hell out of your personal vehicle if you plan on buying it.

 

Wow dude, that's GREAT that you are having so much success. As you know, I never hold back product information and really dedicate much of my time to trying to help out as many detailers as I can. (Sometimes I end up helping the competition but that is another story :P). M105 is really an amazing product and I'm shocked (because it is Meguiars, which isn't boutique) at how well it works.

M105 works awesome on new Ferrari's. Brian and I did an F430 a couple days ago (one that had been polished perviously but was torn up from the track) and used M105 on a LC White Pad to remove 90 percent of the defects, and leave a *near* LSP ready finish. In hindsight, I would have probably skipped the white pad and gone started with a purple wool pad to keep the heat down and grab a little more cut. Even with purple wool and a compound, you can finish with a blue/grey LC pad (or Meg's Solo Finishing or standard finishing) and a final polish and be near flawless. Nothing cuts faster, cleaner, and leaves a better finish behind (realitive) IME.

Here are a couple pictures from the F430...

Sorry for the overexposure in the first picture, I take all my photos in manual mode and I should have dialed in more apeture..

 

Still get goosebumps looking at that thing, it's poetry in motion, and with this particular client, it's in hyper motion on the track.

 

Yeah, anybody who tracks their MV Auguts Tamburini and S63 (with the family strapped in) as well as a 850 hp Twin Turbo 427 Vette rocks. Hell, he got his wife a Cayman S so he could track that as well. I think the Range Rover is the next thing we will see sliding around Moroso.

 

Yes, I order pretty much online...

For OTC, Duragloss is about as good as it gets (and again performs very well).

While Vintage is the best I have personally used, I have heard nothing but great things about Swissvax, and there line is generally cheaper.

Also, the new P21s 100% Carnuaba wax is priced at 50 or dollars, features the highest carnuaba content on the market, at least 95 percent as good as Vintage for 1/35 the price.

You can expect Vintage to last 2-3 months if you car is used reguarly, while P21s is good for 4-6 weeks. So it will need more frequent upkeep, but at the huge price difference almost makes that redundent, IMO.

Also Chemical Guy's Pete's 53 is an amazing wax with a solid 2-3 months of durablity and cost about the same as P21s, so that could be a good option as well.

 

Thanks guys. I believe I am going to go with Chemical Guys.

Can someone answer a question for me? I want to buy one of their detail kits that comes with a glaze. What is the point of a glaze? Its not wax and its not polish right? When and why would I use it?

 

Glazes are typically used to fill in swirl marks and imperfections. The only downside is that a glaze doesn't have much durability and probably won't last after your first wash. Thus the swirls will reappear. If you are set on a glaze I would recommend EZ Creme Glaze from CG. It is compatible with both synthetics and carnuaba toppers.

 

Thank you. When is the glaze applied? Before Waxing?

 

Yes...I would apply after your polish and before your wax..

 

Thank you

 

PJB84,

As for the Chemical Guys glaze,ez creme is great but I prefer wet mirror gloss magnafier better it is thier latest generation product.

 

ok, thanks auto concierge

 

Could you explain the difference? Is there any filling properties, etc? Is it oil or arcyrlic based?

Thanks!!! Todd

GCB,
I did not do the F-430 detail, Brian and Todd did the detail so I cannot take the credit for it.
