What are your opinions of the different waxes and sealants you have on it?

[gav'spurplez]

phenomenal

[dr427]

That has to be the CLEANEST `92 Camry on the road!

[GTScott]

That is what it is all about right there! I bet it didn`t look that good when it was a day old. You should be VERY proud of your work.

All i can say is wow... my jaw dropped when i saw that...very very very good work

All the various LSPs look identical in the pictures.

[imported_Bence]

Thank you! I love to read such comments! Keep`em coming! :D



True, there is practically no difference between the LSPs. The best initial look has the TWPUG, while the other day, the FK combo will tie - but has a different character. TWPUG is deeper, the FKs are crisper, they have more definition. The Collinites are generally look good & wet, the #21 is balanced, the Vic is honest. NXT is rich and reflective. OPT is not so special initially but will shine up, getting resolution on the following 2 days.



I am monitoring their durability, but until now there is no perceptible difference. And yes, even NXT & TWPUG is beading like mad. Collinite is another story - those little pearls are beautiful.

Whats TWPUG? I know I asked in another thread, but I forgot which one.

Great results BTW, I dont know how you do it. All I can say is amazing, WOW, how the..., *** thats green? and lastly teach me!

X2!!!



Excellent work Bence.



You probably have the cleanest looking car in Hungary.

Ditto. Incredible; is the car all original?

[imported_Bence]

Tamás, Pontman,



Thank you! It took almost 14 hours of :waxing:.



TWPUG is Turtle Wax Platinum Ultra Gloss; one of the best LSPs ever. OTC or not, this stuff is amazing. It has light cleaning action, but with very gentle hand application, it won`t remove the previous layers. Adds depth and dimension (especially over AutoGlym EGP)! True, it is a bit water-allergic, but applies so easy... For me, durability is decent - the application you can see here dates back to the first week of August and it beads like hell. No contest with the Collinites, but surprisingly good.

Setec,

Yes, unmolested, all original with 89000 miles on it. The first owner has bought it in Cali, and after two years he brought it home. I purchased it from him 1.5 years ago. Didn`t look like this, but it was pretty decent. Parked regularly under trees, so it has bird poo etchings on the roof and hood though... Anyway, looks good to me!!! :D:D:D
