How To Get Great Results With Meguiar's Spray Wax!

[msmarcus]

I agree with Mike about the two camps on these products. I was in the "Don't Like" camp originally. Mainly because I saw them as Spray Wax. When I sprayed them, they got everywhere and were a lot of trouble to get off. I just about pitched the stuff, but I knew that Meguiars stuff always does what it says it will do, so I used the spray on a microfiber method. All I could say then was ...WOW.... I think that they (NXT Spray Wax) actually gives a higher gloss than several coats of NXT. Very nice for that just waxed look without the couple hours to wax my truck. I can spray wax them in about 20 minutes and the look is great.

Definately in the "LOVE" camp now!

Booster Wax sounds great !...I have a sort of related question...when you use a microfiber towel for something like this, do you wash it with your other towels or keep them seperate...I'm always confused about how to wash the towels I use for windows, wax removal etc etc...can you throw them all in the same load ?...weird question perhaps but it's something I'm just not sure of...

if u keep adding the spray wax (booster) on top of your normal tech wax lets say twice a week after every wash, then for how long i have to wait until i do the whole re-wax again? (clay, clean, polish, wax)? or can i just add a tech wax above it?

will the wax layer gets thicker n thicker from the addition of spray wax?

I tried the spraywax yesterday and I really like how it works. I applied two coats of NXT about two weeks ago and the spraywax really gave the just waxed look back.
It's so easy to use, I applied it with an Evencoat Applicator MF pad and it fits right in my hand.

can u actually apply spray wax after two weeks of proper wax? wouldnt there be contaminants bond to your paint?

Yes. If you couldn't, that would kind of defeat the purpose of it.

janicekoh: You of course have to wash the car before applying it. I have washed the car four times in two weeks and it still looked really good. But the spray wax gave it back that "just waxed look".

i wash my car 4 times in 2 weeks too..but the main concern is, after the wash, is it clean enough to do the wax? i think i read somewhere which says that before u wax u need to clean the paint or polish it..just afraid that i might rub some particles when i use the spray wax and create swirl marks..

janicekoh, first of all, do you feel your paint is smooth? If it's smooth, and the paint has very little amount of swirls/scratches, then you may proceed to apply the Spray Wax. If it's not, you can try to use either of the following paint cleaners:

1) Medallion Premium Paint Cleaner

2) Deep Crystal Step 1: Paint Cleaner

3) Clearcoat Body Scrub

well..i felt that is is really smooth..like glass..but at certain areas like the hood, it felt smooth but with a bit of dust feeling (even though directly after wash)...so if i proceed with deep crystal step 1 paint cleaner,
do i have to polish it after that?
or apply the spray wax straight?
or apply 2 layer of tech wax? then later followed by spray wax?

thanks....

If you feel the paint is abit rough, then please proceed with claying. After that, apply the Deep Crystal Step 1 Paint Cleaner. It depends on what colour is your car, if it's black or red, maybe you want to add in a layer of Deep Crystal Step 2 Polish to add the depth of colour. Lastly, seal it up with 2 layers of NXT Tech Wax, each layer applied 12 hours apart. Maintain the paintwork weekly by applying Spray Wax after the car wash.

Morning all, hello Janice,

I'm also newish to detailing but I have seen a number of threads all saying the same thing, basically it depends on the conditions in and around the area where you live.

I will be applying a spray wax booster once a week and I expect to do a full detail including clay every 4months or so.

Best way is to inspect you paintwork rubbing your hand lightly over the paint particularly behind the wheel arches, if it feels gritty then it's time to clay.

Also using wax twice a week may well build up the wax coating but wax wears off it's a sacraficial coating but as I say depending on the conditions in your area doing it twice a week may well build that coating up.

I think this is about rite.

Blr123, the environment which Janice and I live are...

Temperature: 22C (Night) - 34C (Day)
Weather: Tropical (Rain/Sun)
Average Rain Water pH: <4.4

Basically wax wears off quickly after several rain fall, followed by strong sun light. It'll be good to wax the car at least once every month, and apply spray wax once every week.

Hello Zey & Janice,

I think you may well correct, I might be temted to use the Spray Wax twice a week myself if I were FORTUNATE enough to live in this type of climate, for all the time it takes.

I'm sure some of the more experienced detailers will along shortly with cofirmation or additional information.
