good 1 step product?

**raugusta** · 06-23-2003, 10:38 AM

I`m looking for a good 1 step cleaner/wax product to recommend for a friend. The car is in decent shape with minor swirl, but the owner is not interested in a complete multi steps detailing.

I need a product that can be easily found in walmart/pep boys etc..... I was thinking about mothers sealer glaze or eagle one polish. Any other recommendation??

Given the "local availability" issue, I`d say a cleaner wax, either Mother`s (1st choice) or Meg`s.

Mothers cleaner wax.

Mother`s C/W or Reflections or HotWheels Wax (not sure what the last one`s exact brand name is).

These all work fine as a one-step, but try suggesting at least a clay-step to your friend.

Sounds like a job for the Mothers Clay Kit!

This comes with their cleaner wax too.

Paste waxes generally last longer and I`ve seen the Mothers Cleaner Wax paste reasonably priced. It`s a soft wax so it should be easy to use (smells like bubble gum). I haven`t used this myself, but I`ve been tempted.

Check out the Reviews link above.

I used Zymol Clearner Wax for quite a while and I would definitely recommend it as an easy 1 Step system!

I would try Prestone wax, because ive been waiting for a guinea pig to review it.....

Seriously, its a synthetic, have heard positive comments, but need one more opinion b4 I buy and try !!!

Hmm...I used to use Nu-finish in my pre-autopia days. I`ve even seen it in the supermarket. I would think the Mother`s product might be a bit better, though. I seem to remember the Nu-finish would dry and leave a chalky residue on trim. At the time, I didn`t know that was something other products wouldn`t do.

I just bought this kit today! I had absolutely no reason to buy it but I did anyway. I will be using it on my ungrateful wife`s Dodge Intrepid this weekend. Can you believe she had the nerve to yell at me for buying more detailing products?

#20 poly sealant from meguiars and mothers caranuba paste cleaner wax are both good choices. #20 has a light cleaner in it, so its a good one step product.

How long does #20 last I seen at a local shop called APS aka Autobody Paint Store they had a whole varity of Meg`s BSP Line and about all the 3M Products there is. Had some Zymol and Mothers also.

Women dont care and dont understand. Maybe she wants you to take your detailing supplies money and chase other women with it.
