Well im finnaly buying some new gear to clean the car with.

1. what should i use to put wax on the car ethier a MFT or a foam applicator.
2. looking for some good wax that will last longer than a month at a time. And also looking to spend $30-50 for it any ideas.

Thanks for any help on this

 

of course we have ideas!!

1. foam works- my fav is my fingers. i love to finger rub wax, but there arent many of us who do this. you can use mfs, but they keep too much of the wax imo.

2. if you are looking for hang time, you arent looking for wax. you need a good synthetic. we have some good threads on this topic. let me see if i can find one. i mainly use wax to top over my synthetics.

here ya go- some ideas on synthetics:

Cool thanks i just orderd this Werkstat AJT do to it seeming to be easy to use. I also am buying some things from detailersdomain here is the list
Micro fiber cleaner- is this worth it i use detergeant with vinager now
uber red notch pad-i was going to use this for interior and small area
Nubuk potector for my seats- i have the cleaner need some protector
p21s carnauba paste wax-heard great things about this pricey but will last a while i hope
sonax wheel cleaner-again seems like a great product

Well let me know if i should switch any of these products out with something else before i put the order in thanks

 

Looks like a perfect list to me

 

Seems like a good start! If you have a front loading washer I wouldn't bother with a MF detergent. If you have a top loader it makes a difference.

 

Interesting! Elaborate?

 

Yes ^^ please do i have a top loader washer right now

 

No problem! Having recently switched to a front loading washer I have found my towels come out cleaner using a front loader with regular detergent than they ever did when I used a top loader with MF detergent, vinegar, whatever. The front loader gets the towels cleaner. I don't know the science behind it. I just know my towels come out like new all "grabby" and everything since I got the new machine.

 

how do you guys wax with your finger? i tired youtubing it but couldn't find anything

 

Good shine and sleekness. But it definately does not last. For example my daily driver gets parked outside all day at work in the baking sun. Plus some heavy rain down pour, the p21s only last a matter of 2 weeks.

I switched to DodoJuice Supernaturnal (Even more pricey) but it definately lasts ALOT longer.
