    Finally ready for first polish

    Hi There...

    I've been doing a lot of reading and now I'm ready to attack my car. It's a 2010 Mazda 3 Sport GT Crystal White Pearl (CWP) and it's never been waxed, but I have alway done hand wash with the double bucket method and used good car soap.

    I have just ordered a PC 7424XP wit a LC package of CCS Pads, Orange, White, Green, Black, and Blue. I also ordered Meguiar's #105 and #205 to use as a combo. I also purchased a clay bar and lubricant. That part is decided. My question is; I'm looking for a super wet shine on this pearl white and I was wondering what would complement this combination and how would you apply it?

    Regards...

    First of all Welcome from Olympia, WA!! I am a fan of Meguiar's Gold Class Premium Carnauba Wax, NXT Generation Tech WAX 2.0 and if you want to step up to the Detailer line or products, I would us the Meguiar's Mirror Glaze The Professional Show Car Glaze 7(Part # M0716 or M0764).

      Wax or Sealant?

      Meguiar's products or anything?

      Have not used it personally yet myself, but Meguiar's new Ultimate wax is supposed to leave a pretty nice gloss as well as long protection. Easy use, especially the paste version. Just depends whether you like wax or sealant for looks.

      Personally, I am partial to Blackfire Wet Diamond as it is very easy to use and leaves a high gloss, incredibly slick surface with long lasting protection.

        You're already using M205, so the suggested M07 would have little to no benefit, especially seeing as the car is white and the paint would be BC/CC.

        Being a white car, I would personally go with NXT 2.0. Gold Class Carnauba Plus and Ultimate Wax are also great waxes, but more suited to darker colours IMO.

The silver one demands nothing and it looks just fine. I think the black vehicle is taking advantage of me, and the silver car is more my style. We can go out for a drive without her makeup and she looks fine. If I want to take the black one out, it is three or four hours in the "bathroom" to get ready.

          Yeah, i wasn't sure if he was talking about polish or wax. Since he mentioned he had #205 i assumed he meant a wax compliment to that.

          By the way #205 followed up by Nxt 2.0 will probably yield about as much gloss as anything. white is just a color that you really can't appreciate like darker colors when it comes high reflective gloss, but you can certainly make it shine.
