alright im a noob to actual full paint care....so i was wondering what would be a good polish and waxes....i would prefer to use products that arent over the counter as i have kind of experimented with them....i want professional level result which i know will come with my experience...i have a few detail shops around here and i have the ability to get products they use....just let me know some good ones....

 

I'll chime in...

First, your going to need a decent set of pads. Lake Country, Edge 2000, and Meguiar's are all pretty good choices.

For polishes, I'd recommend the following, by brand:

Menzerna
Meguiars
OptimumKlasseAlso, 3M Ultrafina SE is a really good final finishing polish.

As for waxes, its really whatever works best for you. You can go anywhere from entry level waxes like Meguiars, all the way into some of the thousand dollar Zymol waxes. Best bet is to find something you like, and stick with it. Don't think that you have to spend hundreds to get a great looking wax.

Also, don't worry to much about the product your using. Put more attention to the process. A great detailer can get great results, even out of the cheaper stuff, due to having a sound process of attack. Meanwhile, I've seen people spend hundreds on only the best of the best products, but don't use the correct technique and end up with dissatisfying results.

Its a good idea to get some scrap panels from a junkyard to hone your skills. Remember the more you practice, the better you'll get, and the more comfortable you come working on your own car, and others.

But either way, good luck on your detailing, it definitely is a hobby that can consume much of your time and money

No problem, I will make it even better for you, you order those 4oz bottles, if you don’t like them I will REFUND your entire purchase, that is how confident we are about our products, I may point out that we have sold thousands of bottles and we have NEVER had one single incident so you must provide a clear explanation to get your refund, other than “I dint like them”

Further more why don’t you do your own test, our products on one side of the hood, vs. those products you just purchase, “IF” you can commit to do a review on such of test and posted in here we will send you the products FREE, we will need photos, step by step and more photos after a week or so, the oxidation block you will have to purchase.

Is that a sweet deal or what !

 

damn man i would jump on that deal!

 

That is well worth it man, you won't be dissapointed, turbo wax delivers!!

 

give TurboWax a shot, you have nothing to lose, and will most likely have to walk around bent over for a couple days (due to the massive erection you will be sporting in public)

 

i can do your test....i can also do it on different colors if you would like....we have a maroon car, a red car, a gunmetal car, and a black truck thats hood needs some paint work....also i have a canon rebel xti DSLR so the pictures will be top quality....and i will do it by whatever step by step process you ask....also i will buy a big bottle of your guys' Car Shampoo and wash the car being used in the test with it....and hell if you would like i will put a sticker on my car for your company....just PM with more info....

 

We are game ! I dont need you to test any other colors as we have test almost every single color out there, I just want to proof again that we can compete with other brands, we already know we have the car shampoo you purchase on the back pocket

 

i want free! lol

 

alright well i will use it on my tC with new paint with slight swirls....dad dropped microfiber and didnt tell me....and i have a black ranger that is a little rough that will really show off the potential....so just pm me when you can so we can work things out...

Turbo Wax seems to be pretty good ****... but since I'm not special enough to get free **** like Hatrick I'll have to buy some and try it!

But I've had good luck with Mothers Reflections, and 3M Professional Finishes.... and Zaino wasn't too bad either!

 

M-Dub


Don't feel that way please,

The reason that we got together with Hatrick was because of a friendly debate in one of our threads, trust me, every single time we pull one of this stunts we run a HUGE risk to get some bad feedback all do we know the true, but is a risk that we been taking for years and so far so good, most of the people we give products is for different reasons, whether they are skeptics, don't trust our product or whatever the reason may be, all of them have never use our products so is a neutral territory.

we have run specials, free products from contests, so keep you eyes open there's always a way to get our products, you just have to try a bit harder
