what exactly did you use?

looks good btw

I like using Mothers Wax, It gives it a great shine without stripping clearcoat.

 

[St0neY_Bol0gnA]

I used a service that brings 4 guys to you and does it by hand w/detail for $65. I have no clue what they used. But I will look into it. They do washes for $25 which is the same as the "Hand Car Wash" (which does a crappy job BTW) by my house with no Armorall.

If you're in San Diego... I will post the site...

i go to SDSU... but im not gonna spend $65 to have my car detailed.... i like cleaning my car any ways... it relaxes me

 

[St0neY_Bol0gnA]

I agree, I just wish I had more time... But you know time is money...

Well alot of the time it is...
lol

i wouldnt even recommend waxing it so soon. theres not really a need in it.itll keep its shine for months after its bought.

 

[St0neY_Bol0gnA]

It would stay shiny if I didn't live so damn close to the Ocean. I figure "it can't hurt...

BTW how long would you wait>? A year?

For all you San Diego people: The guys who did it are "South Coast Auto Care"

I recommend waxing the day you bring it home.

There's a good reason why its shiny, the paint surface is clean. Without protection, the surface becomes contaminated with oxidation and industrial fallout. Wax by itself does not make your car shine, it makes the clean surface shine. Surface contaminants and oxidation will cause the surface to lose its shine. Applying a protectant will help you keep that shine for a longer time without having to do nearly as much 'make up work' after a few months.

Sure, the car will look great for a few months after you buy it. However, you can maintain that look for longer by providing some protection. Of course, not everyone cares this much so I'm sure there are those that will wait some time before they realize how bad their paint has gotten.

What does your plate mean?

 

[St0neY_Bol0gnA]

My initials, the "IV" indicates 4th generation.

The definition of Scion, another reason I bought the car. Pretentious, isn't it?

 

[nY1018]

prententious?!

 

[St0neY_Bol0gnA]

Pretentious: Making or marked by an extravagant outward show; ostentatious

 

[nY1018]

trust me you will think your car is the hottest thing on the strip I have a BSP and I love how it looks fully washed and waxed with mother cleaner wax, and on the rare occasion the 3-step process

 

[Ryan'stc]

Remember people that cheap wax can strip clearcoat. There are new waxes on the market like Mothers new line that doesn't hurt your clear coat. Outherwise I love detailling my tC and wax is a great way to protect your investment. I have also found that it can make light scratches invisible.

 

[St0neY_Bol0gnA]

SO should I check with my detailed to make sure he's using Mothers? Or are there other good Wax's

Your missing the whole point of waxing. You wax to protect the paint, and give it a good shine. I have known many people who never had to paint there cars or have to deal with oxidation, beacuse of routine waxing.

True, I wax my car everytime I wash it which is about every 2 weeks.
