Wax On, Wax Off
 
Attn all car nutz, which auto wax do you prefer?

Consumer Reports rates Black Magic Wet Shine Liquid #1, and I've read
conflicting reports that it is a bear to remove.

Liquid or Paste?

Thanx!

I haven't used paste in years. I use an electric orbital buffer to
apply liquid wax (except for the tight spots) and remove it by hand.

AFA brand, the last time I put anything on my everyday driver was Nu
Finish Liquid Car Polish.

I have 2 other cars that I drive for pleasure and both are coated with
Meguiar's liquid wax. Don't know exactly what it is w/o looking. I've
had it for a while. Doesn't get used much.

All 3 vehicles get washed with Kit wash and wax. That stuff is
awesome!

Only pervs wash/wax their cars.
I never wash mine except for occasionally the windows.
It's just a machine. I have no feelings for it. I just want it to function
and be cheap to run and efficient.

I hear there are people who waste hours cleaning their car. It just damages
the paint.

Driving is boring. I have had fast cars. But after a while they became
boring too. I took up flying then.
Must be even worse in America were there's nowhere to go. Esp in places like
the Midwest.

I can tell you've never been to Lincoln, Nebraska. The alfalfa dryers are
awesome!

The last car I washed was my red Mitsu 3000GT. Nothing worthy of washing
since. As far as the Possum Van, probably end up with bare metal if I
washed it. Although, I did have a pickup once I brush painted with that
brown Rustoleum rusty metal primer. Even covered the spray foam OK.

Neither - dirt and grime protects the finish - although I do wash it
once before shooting pics when I list it on Craig's

Which toothbrush works best to get all that brake dust off alloy wheels?
And how many hours does it take?

One serious question - how do you get the stench out of a new-to-you car
the dealer has "detailed"? I made them promise not to "grease" anything
black, like most do, but it still reeks of a Simple Green type odor.
