    Wax Product

    I`ve been using Mother`s Pure Carnuba Wax to detail my truck, but I`m sure the is a better product out there. Any suggestions?

    Thanks

    Actually - Mother`s Pure Carnuba is a really good product it gives a really great wet look and great depth..it`s a bit of a pain to remove and powders like the dickens but it`s a great carnuba

    There are a lot of great carnauba waxes out there (P21S, S100, Natty`s, Souveran, Trade Secret, etc). You just have to find one that suits your needs. Plus, remember that preparing the surface for wax is the most important part.

    My personal favorite is Natty`s.

    Poorboys polish with carnuba is a great pre-wax, or megs DACP, I think I spelled that right. You have a light color so I doubt that you have many swrils to worry about.

    I agree its great on its own but topped with a good paste wax that to me takes the paint to the next level!

    Good combo - you might want to use PwC rather than PP - just my 2 cents -

    Follow up question what is the advantage of using PwC over PP? I plan on topping it with Mother Pure Carnuba.


    Thanks

    Pro polish is a straight polish used for lots of things, but on the paint its going to cut and not add any protetion. PB polish with carnuba (P-w-C) Is milder will take some swril marks out, but adds carnuba for luster and protetion. Follow that up with a sealant or wax and you wil have a kiler finish on the car!

    billy0001,

    On the pewter color, I would think that EX-P x 2 (or 3), then topped with Natty`s would really make that color (and the metallic in it) stand out!

    Keep in mind, that you need to do the best paint prep possible for maximum returns. That means your paint should be clean, bright, and polished (no swirls). Do whatever you need to do prior to the protective layers to get the paint prepped correctly, and you will be pleased with any number of combinations.

    Mother`s isn`t the most durable carnauba out there. You might want to give S100 or Meguiar`s #16 a shot if you want to stay with wax. For a sealant, I would recommend 4Star UPP from Dwayne.
