btw, got Gears of War today, AMAZING GAME

[AP1fun]

P21S Auto Care Products- p21s best show car wax. P21s concours carnauba wax.

Good products there.
When ever you feel like playing some Forza I'm up for it. Stupid rain around here. I've been playing the actual game and gaining levels. I'm on 29.

S100 Carnauba Wax is a hand-poured blend of German waxes, proprietary ingredients and pure Brazilian Carnauba wax. motorcycle wax, bike wax, s100

This is said to be the same stuff and it's a little cheaper. It's made in the same place and last around the same amount of time. P21S is totally white (White Carnuba leaves) S100 is a pale yellow which means it's a mix of yellow and white Carnuba leaves. Google it if you're unsure what I'm talking about with Carnuba trees.

Holy Sh!t, did you see the headlights on that mini

I'm thinking about trying that liquid ice stuff first (turtle wax?), its a liquid wax that dosen't leave the while residue, and its available at target, so I can get it locally, I still couldn't get all the white stuff off on the s2k, and trying to scrape it all out on a normal size car


I heard that you can't put wax on to quickly, like for the first week, the car got to the dealer lot about 4 days before I test drove it, so it has been there for a total of 7 days until I pick it up today.

Ice is total crap. It leaves spots on the paint and is very hard to use. P21S and S100 go on with a clear jelly type look. No residue. S100 is avaliable at a local Harley Davison and runs about 16 dollars and a can will last you forever. The wax itself last 5-6 months as to turtle wax Ice's 2 weeks to a month.

****, well, if I use the Ice for now will it do any damage?

[AP1fun]

I recommend you don't because it will take clay to get off, or (dare I say...) Dawn. Which I wouldn't wanna do to a brand new car if I had no experience. Don't use Meguires on your new car because it will leave residue in the cracks this will be there the life of the car.

[TJ213]

I know that from using it on the s2k when it was brand new

I think I'll try the ice on a small part of the rear bumper, and see how it turns out, because some of the online reviews are really good, have you personally used it?

[AP1fun]

Yeah. I own a bottle. If you insist on using it make sure the car has been in the garage all day and is very cold. Keep the door closed. Do one panel at a time and follow all instructions on the back.

If you ever get P21S/S100, you don't have to let it haze. Do one panel then hand buff off and move on to the next, then get a new MF towel when you are done and go around the entire car just to make sure you have got all the wax.

A good tip on cleaning MF towels is wash them in cold water and one table spoon of white vinager. Don't use any fabric softener either.

Well, I just finished cleaning the car, and it turned out pretty good. I can't really tell how much better the car looks, it was washed / waxed yesterday at the dealer before I picked it up. I did notice that the newly waxed surfaces are much smoother.

I first washed it using microfiber w/cold water, and the asorber
Then waxed it with TurtleWax Ice
Then cleaned the wheels with Dupont Teflon Wheel Cleaner
and then sprayed the tires with armorall tire foam

[AP1fun]

You need to go to Auto Zone and get some tire foam whipes and some Meguires tire shine. It's gel, and purple. It also smells like grapes. The spray on stuff is FTL. Car looks good though. Just no more armor all on it. Any!!! inside of out. If you get carnuba wax your can use it on your wheels too. Works really good.
