Lmao sleeper. I have buffed it and to no avail. But I must say sleeper you are full of crap knowledge. LoL

 

Thank Ya, Thank Ya Very Much...

 

I have heavy water spots on both my rear windows tried everything nothing seems to work any idea's guys?

 

Please note clay bars are only for cleaning the paint and do not polish.

You need to use a polish after claying. Also only clay if your paint needs cleaning. There is no need to use it every time. Often if the paint is in good condition the polish alone will take care of the cleaning it needs.

My paint seldom needs claying as I keep polised and waxed up regularly. Now on the other hand some of the cars in the family I clean up get waxed 1-2 times a year and often has tree sap on them. The clay is a mush on these unless I have to buff.

There again read up with one of the MFG web sites and they can show you what is needed and when. The key to keeping a clean car is to work smarter not harder. I have learned how to keep a car clean with several tricks over longer periods of time. Many people think I wash my black SS every night but they would be suprised how seldom It is fully washed.

Adams Polish also has a very good Foum on how to clean what and when. Even as long as I have detailed cars there is always something to learn.

 

"Meguiars Wax?" They make about 75 of them, so that tells us nothing.

Realistically, just using a wax (sealant) by hand won't do jack as far as making a great finish. You need to use a dual-action buffer (like the Griots 6") at minimum. All the wax does is put a final layer of protection/shine over all the imperfections (scratches; swirls) underneath. The secret to a great finish is the prep work BEFORE the last step product.

Do the claybar first
If you have swirls or other imperfections, first use a compound like Meguiars #105 or Ultimate Compound with an orange or yellow foam pad on the buffer. Use a higher speed and travel the buffer S-L-O-W-L-Y over a 2' sq area.
Once swirls eliminated, use a polish (meguairs #205 or Ultimate Polish) This will prep it for the Wax. Use higher speed and a white buffer pad.

I'm not saying these are the only products to use, but the Ultimate Products are available at Wally-World, reasonably priced, and easy to use.

Then use a good wax/sealant. I love Blackfire Wet Diamond, which I top with Wet Glaze 2.0. Use a black/red/blue finishing pad. Makes for an awesome deep, wet-looking finish.

Unless you do a complete job, all you'll ever have is a 20'-er.

Try the clay bar; works on glass, too. Or a sawirl compound and DA buffer.

I use Zaino Wax. It is kind of pricey but it lasts for a very long time. I really like the quality of it.

 

thanks to everyone for the replies, once again awesome!!

 

We got it covered. Everything from wax to bird crap. Lmao

 

I used Meguiar's NXT Generation wash, Meguiar's clay with their detailer spray, then Meguiar's NXT Tech Wax 2.0 on my BGM a couple weeks ago, it's ridiculously shiny.

Meguiar's is pretty much the baseline for cleaning products. If you want to step up, check out Griot's Garage, Chemical Guys, or Adam's. I've read a very wide range of opinions about Turtle Wax and Armor All washes and waxes.

Also, get a lot of good microfiber towels for drying, waxing, and detailing... preferably ones with less than 80% polyester content, which you can pretty much only find online.
