red car needs wax help

**agentxc_02** · 05-20-2006, 03:05 PM

I am wondering what is the best wax to use w/ pc 7424? As I am new with the pc. My car is a red volvo sedan

What have you got on your shelf already?

**agentxc_02** · 05-20-2006, 04:19 PM

I have turtle wax platitum liquid wax, rain-x liquid wax, and eagle one`s nano liquid wax.

None of those waxes will ruin your paint. Any will work, and I`d be interested in hearing the longevity of the E1 nano series.
And you can use your PC for that. Try a search for "PC" and "wax" and "appl*" and you may find some tips.

Did you mean polish though, as in paint correction?

I will try the eagle one wax on my car this weekend. The polish I use is the turtle wax color cure(red polish). The product is a great for oxidation of the red paint. After that I use meguairs colorX. Thanks for ur help PEI detail.

I think the TW Color Cure is the dyed wax, right? So, if you apply ColorX afterwards, you`ll likely remove any of the colored filling the red TW did.
In my *limited* experience with ColorX, it removes oxidation rather well, even by hand. I think the TW just "covers" the oxidation temporarily. I`d suggest using the ColorX for your polish.
The Nanowax tends to fill in fine cobwebbing fairly well, so that may be a good "topper," although I`ve read the Platinum is supposed to look quite nice too.

Since the nano is supposed to have some synthetic properties I would assume it is much like NXT. If this is the case you could go for the Nano X 2-3 and then start topping with the Platinum (don`t forget to clay!!)...<Big Leegr>>> you are right The Platinum does give a nice look and fairly slick although...durability is a little on the low side....however this is something that most of us would not worry about.

On the TW website they list the TW color cure as a polish. It does reduce oxidation imo. Can u use the pc with colorX? Now i am tempeted to use the TW platium wax as i have use them before. I like the end results even thou I applied it by hand.

IMO, that color stuff is a gimmick. The best way to remove oxidation is with a paint cleaner like AIO, Pbs Pro Polish, Megiars has one Medallion paint cleaner or Deep Crystal System Paint Cleaner (I think can be found OTC) and so on.

I believe that scratch X is intended for hand use only.

Try a little of everything on your car and see what looks and feels the best to you. It is hard to tell someone what to use because we don`t know what you are looking for. You may like one product and I can`t stop you from using it so you might be the only one to decide what you like and what you should use.

Personally, I`d ditch the TW Color Cure, but if you like it.....

ColorX is a much better polish, and can be used with the PC. If you use the ColorX after the Color Cure, then you`re more than likely removing the Color Cure anyway. That in itself is a good enough reason to stop using it.

After the ColorX, you might want to try the Nano on part of the car and the TW Platinum on the other half and see what you like best.
