Hi everybody , i have a 2005 grand prix white s2000 and i wash it by my self but i am having a little trouble since sometimes i daily drive my car and here rains and the car get to much dirty but , lucky i am buying a 2000 civic SI for DD.

But the thing is that i use ONLY meguiar products but i am having trouble understanding what product to use and if it ok since there are too much products on the market , like rubbing , wax , carnauba , liquid , spray waxes , polishs etcc...

i only use these 2 products every 30 days or every month and wash my car only 1 a week ...(note = i used it with my hands since i dont have the machine )


1. Meguiars color X


2.


i want to know if these products are ok for my white paint , or there are some better products from 3m and meguiars brand , and if it ok every 30 days or it can be every 15 days .




Whats the diference between the first hand glaze and these one








Any help would be thanksfull i am just 19 years old and i am new to these wash and wax world and i want to know some good stuff , here are some pics of my car after a full wash and 2 weeks and the products that i use.

 

Any reason why you use only meg's and 3m? There are a lot of great products out there, and our sponsor has a sale going on right now. A PC is a great polisher to use and learn on, without being dangerous to your paint.

The products you have are ok for your paint. I can't comment on 3m as I have not used their stuff.

Megs is good, but they have better stuff that they dont sell over the counter.

 

meguiar and 3 am are the most variety products here , i was talking about color x and other type of wax of meguiars the diferences and who of the best.

 

well, the 1st bottle of 3m glaze should be better than the 2nd one pictured. Glaze however is different from wax, and doesnt have as much longevity as wax. You can however top the glaze with a wax.

Color X is so so, but megs does make some polishes for sale OTC and you should try them. You could top the glaze with megs gold class wax, which is available OTC.

Are you lookibg for stuff just to get locally? If so, I hope the above info is ok.

Look for Sprayway glass cleaner, either at target or walmart. one of the best out there. Folex is good for carpets and can be had at lowes or home depot.

Any other product reccomendations needed, just ask.

 

yoou said that these product is better than color x

and how it would be wax fist and then glaze , need to be done in diferent sessions , or in one night

these are better polishes.

Glaze is put on before wax.

 

but i do the job by hand not machine , and how many days i can do it ... 15 o 30 or 60days ... i have heard that to much can put my white into yellow or loose color.

 

ColorX is a nice cleaner wax. I'm sure it does a good job at keeping your white car looking white. I'm a great believer in the use of cleaner waxes for regular maintenance of daily drivers. See my article "Your Daily Driver."

Are you using the 3M glaze on top of ColorX or under it? If the latter, ColorX will remove the glaze. If the latter, you need to apply a pure wax on top of the glaze to seal in the extra gloss; otherwise, it will be washed away in the first wash.

Now that you are buying a Civic as your daily driver, consider switching from ColorX to NXT (two coats for uniform coverage). My guess is that you will like the gloss NXT brings to your white car, and it will be more durable than the ColorX. You should get several months from two coats of NXT, especially if the car is only being driven occasionally. If you like, you can glaze your car with the 3M glaze and then top it with NXT. Use the ColorX once or twice a year to clean the paint and top it with NXT. If you want a more carnauba look, try Meguiar's Hi-Tech Yellow Wax (M26)--better yet, try Lusso Oro, available from Detailer's Domain.
