I haven't gotten a chance to wax my car yet but I bought turtle wax. I bought it over the spray cause I figured the spray is temp that won't last long. is this true? which is better the spray or the actual wax? also what's a clay bar for, and should I get one of those too? I'm gonna have a car wash/mechanic place do the waxing for me. and they said they compound first too. I don't have the time to wax a car and i have no choice but to do in the sun so...

 

spray on is junk. def go with a paste wax. did you buy turtle wax ice??

 

wax is better, it lasts longer and protects better, spray wax is really just a booster to help keep the car nice between waxing

 

If you jack off onto your car and rub that into the paint it will probably work better than spray on wax. Turtle wax isn't that good from what I have experienced, I'd stick with Meguiars, Mothers, or Zymol.

And why pay someone to wax your car? It's the easiest thing in the world to do, and gives you some alone time with your car.

 

yeah turtle wax is junk, use meguiars or mothers

 

Don't do it. That **** sucks ass.

 

I'll second that. It's an overpriced gimmick, IMO.

 

I used the spray stuff the other day when I was in a rush, but I usually stick with the better stuff.

 

i only asked cause he said he dont have any shade to wax in. i dont eithier, so i buy ice. no trees around ftl

 

Meguiars>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Turt le wax BS.

 

So wait for an overcast day or do it during sunset.

 

X2 thats what I do. and my car is black so it even more of a bitch to wax

 

damn I already bought it... guess ill just have 2 sell it to someone
and I'm lazy to do myself lol plus I'm afraid I'll somehow **** it up. and I can't put my car in the garage cause it needs to be cleaned out its uber packed

 

i thought about rigging up some kind of tarp/tent/beastly contraption. lulz

 

Spray wax is good for like...........a day.........scratch that....its useless

 

what is clay baring for and do I need it?

 

if your not gonna wax your car you dont even wanna think about claying it killer

 

go to a self car wash they have stalls with cover

 

don't pay someone to wax your car, there's nothing to mess up. put it on, wait a few minutes, and wipe it off. what do you think you're going to do wrong? not having time is an excuse for lazy. it will take just as much time for someone else to do it as you would yourself.

ditch the turtle wax, get any of the others mentioned. i even tried the turtle wax ice, and the liquid claybar, all garbage. get a real claybar, and some good wax, and do it yourself. if you don't have shade, do it at sunset when the sun isn't shining.

 

Clay baring is alot of work, it is to remove surface comtaminats from the paint befor waxing

 

You get what you pay for with car care products.

 

alot of work, but worth it. my black car looks dirty as hell 20 minutes after i'm done cleaning it, but it feels like a baby's ass. if you sit on my hood or lean against my fender, you'll fall off the car.

 

I agree

 

and btw, wax is not a mod, so you can take that off your mod list. :

 

that doesn't exist here. and it's not listed as a "mod" its listed as car care
