Default Ron'so detail an wax

Has anyone tried this wax? I started using this summer and am really impressed. Ron is a guy who details cars and sells his own brand of wax,you even get to speak with him when you call. I love helping the little guy succeed. Quality products at reasonable prices. The black wax ROCKS!

Meguairs Gold class soap
Meguairs Carnuba Plus. It seems to attract dust tho.

You might like to try a detail spray called FinishKare 425 ... it has an anti-static ingredient in it. It wont alleviate dust attraction but does seem to tame it. Best part it looks darn nice too.

There is more to polishing than just what polish. Pad choice effects both time and cut as well. Some years ago I switched over to Menzerna and have not looked back. I will still purchase others when something new is out,but for my equipment and techniques the results are always best with the Menzerna. For light duty I'll use a DA with a LC orange or white with SI1500 and finish with a LC gray/black with SF4500.

I use ADAMS products all around, but what ever you use, use only towels and wash pads made for cleaning and drying your car, and wash them accordingly, and use no fabric softener, I had very good luck so far with NO swirl marks on my car, there is a lot of pro's on this site that has very good ideals and I pick up on some of them from time to time. Good luck.

Menzerna, Megs, Blackfire, and Wolfgang all make polishes of varying degree's that work well on the Vette and GM products. It is best to use a buffer and an array of pads designed to work with the polishes to get the best results. If you need more help please visit our forum or send us a contact for help .....
