I don't know, but you need to go back to the pits and start a new thread about your friend who likes it in the butt. Did you show her that thread? LOL....we need more pics of her, and if she's an attention whore like you say then I'm sure she'll do it emoji LOL

Your suppose to wait at least 4 days, I would wait a week. Then I would wash, polish, and wax it right then for maximum preservation of the lust. (This is what we do at my friends body shop.)

You can wash your car, just use a soft cloth like a wash mit. To dry your car, use a chamois unless you like scratches.

Also.. at the shop I work at, we tell customers no wax for 1-2 months.

I second the no wax for 4 weeks idea. Paint needs time to cure imo.

Washing is fine though. I wouldn't use anything overly strong though.

Polish, glaze, and wax are different products that do different things. Wax is the most important because it's what protects your finish, keeps the paint from drying out (which oxidizes as it drys).

Actually, according to perfessional detailers (I use to detail for a local shop), your suppose to polish (removes fine scratches, and imperfections), then glaze (adds shine, and lust), THEN wax (protects everything underneith).

pony up and buy the 3 bottles of 3m like stated above meguirs does not compare!

you can get it at napa

Bill

You can have it cheap, fast or good. Pick any two.

If you want it cheap and fast, it's not going to be good.
