    One step wax

    I`ve been offering a express detail package that involves one step wax for those people that don`t wanna pay for 2 or 3 steps, and I had been using Rightlooks cleaner wax. It does okay for a one step, but doesn`t seem to contain much polish, any recommendations for another one step? I`ve used PwC and it`s wonderful, but just wondering if there are any other decent ones out there. By the way, SSR2.5 is da bomb! I`ve done about 6 cars with it and had no hazing at all and it`s been eating up some swirl marks. Did a 94 towncar (emerald green) that was torn up, and SSR2.5/SSR1 topped with very cherry had it lookin brand new!

    I`ve had the same problem. I`ve found that something like UPP is a great next step. Lately I`ve been using NXT on everything I can get my hands on because it works so well as a one step. Its not as nice looking as UPP, but it looks better than AIO all by itself. Plus it can handle some of the swirls and even some light oxidation.

    Faster isn`t better. BETTER is better no matter how long it takes.

    For a one step I prefer to use Poorboy`s polish with carnuba. Seems to be pretty good for a one step. I have also heard good things about Cherry Wet Wax and I am awaiting my bottle from Coast. For what they charge on shipping and handeling it should of been flown over night!

    CWW is a great one step. I can get it for $8 a quart locally so I use it from time to time.

    PWC is a great "go to" one step.

    Meguiars #66 is no slouch either, it can handle some pretty tough oxidation.

    Where did you find CWW locally? Cause so far Coast has given me VERY crappy service! They have not replied to e-mails, charged an arm and leg for shipping and handling, and never sent me any type of confirmation whethr it shipped or not.
    Thanks

    I also like Top of the Line`s (Hi-Temp) Paint Perfection Glaze. It actually has Hi-Temps Light cut as the polishing base, but then has a polymer sealant left behind, so it does last. Do a search for TOP OF THE LINE, and you can see some cars I`ve done.

    Check with your local PBE as many sell CWW under their private label.

    To orignal question, if you are happy with PwC, then stick with it and try other cleaner waxes as you go, to find one you like.
