**godofthunder** · 08-01-2003, 01:55 PM

Iwas just currious about this. I plan on doing a detial soon (my first autopia one)...

*Dawn wash

* Clay

* #9

* #7

* Gold Class Wax, or #26.

Should I just go with #26? I have a new thing of GC i got for chirstmass...and dont wanan toss it. I already have commisned my 3 sted deep crystal to my wheels and stuff....and dont wnana have to toss GC too. I was planning on buying #26 after it was gone anyways...but dont wanan take all this hard work, and then #7 to go, caus I used the GC wax

Gold Class has some light cleaners in it, #26 does not.

If it were me, I`d use the #26 over #7.

Well today i was doing my car up and did a little test. After i dawn washed, clayed, deep crystal paint cleaner and polish, i did a side by side comparison of Deep crystal carnuba wax, #26, and GC. I let them sit for 30 mins and wiped off. Surprisingly i found that the Deep Crystal Carnuaba wax depthend the color and looked wetter than the other two???

lawrencea - yes it will. Like GC, it has light cleaners in it.

Now if I can only convince the chemists that folks would buy Reflections without cleaners, I`d be set. He`s made me a couple batches without, which I liked.

Dawn

#9

#7

#26

GC has cleaners and will nullify the hard work you put in with the #7. #26 does not and works VERY well with it. Apply with a Porter Cable dual action polisher or by hand, whichever you prefer. :xyxthumbs

Hi Forrest just another question since Reflections is resin base is it like Autoglym or is it more like Gold Class.? Does It Leave a wet look finish (fills swirls )

**godofthunder** · 08-04-2003, 09:57 PM

then, i can also put on a second coat prob. of #26?

That step 3 carnuba liquid ain`t so bad. It`s more than meets the eye, IMO. One good thing is, it`s so thin in the bottle that it`s easy to do a super light coat.

I`d still do the #26, though. That stuff is sweet (no offense, forrest, Mom`s natural formula carnuba is sweet, too).

If you have swirls to get rid of the 26 won`t make much of a difference by itself. Get some #9 and #7 on there and your swirl problems will be virtually eliminated.

Yes, you can do another layer of the #26 (my car has three on it in this month alone, so I`m done for awhile). Just make sure you give it time to cure inbetween coats, about an hour or so.

When you go to wash it, buy some Meguiars 00 with a new sheepskin wash mitt. The 00 is awesome as it simply removes dirt and grime without stripping wax like car washes that contain detergents do. It really is a great product, as is the entire Meguiars professional line. I`ve found the "normal" line to not always be good.

lawrencea - I`ve not tried autoglym, so I can`t honestly say.

Gold Class has carnauba in it - Reflections does not. Reflections makes its shine through the resins, not carnauba or oils.
