maintaining a WG finish

**AndyC_1** · 04-06-2005, 08:21 AM

I have to take my car to have its new suspension fitted tonight.

Fingers crossed the weather stays reasonably dry as I`ve just put 4 layers of WG on it.

I have most of the usual shampo suspects but has anyone had particularly good results with a single soap on a WG prepped car?

Likewise, if it picks up a few swirls etc whilst at the workshop should I go with the WG swirl remover or is there another alternative, given that WG`s a water based sealant

Or perhaps I should drive it, enjoy it and worry about dirt when it actually gets dirty....

Sonax seems quite gentle or still my overall favourite Dr.Wacks shampoo.

I say drive your car and then worry about it :xyxthumbs

Drive it and enjoy it!

Try not to get too hung up about it, it masks the enjoyment of actually driving.

Washed mine with NXt between my layers off WG. Seemed to work well.

I`ve had great results with Gold Class, NXT, Kit Carnauba Wash and QEW.

If you don`t have the WG QD, the Clearkote`s Quikshine works well.

I`ve been using WG as my go-to sealant on black lately and use Sonus Acrylic Spritz for QD and Sonus Acrylic Glanz for a kind of *booster wax* which is a little stronger than the Spritz.

Just curious, how much time did you wait in between layers?

That is a lot of WG! And why are people saying that WG and BF are the same thing?

**05Sleeper** · 04-06-2005, 09:18 PM

How ofetn should I re-apply the wg?

WG and BF are both oil in water products that work best on dark colors-IMO there are only so many "wax" manufacturers so chances are they are either made by the same manufacturer who private labels them or they just have very similar chemistry

Just wash with your favorite shampoo, and QD with Wolfgang Instant Detail Spritz. This should keep the finish glossy and slick for quite awhile...

As for WG and Blackfire being the same, well....

Blackfire was out before Wolfgang. Yes, they are both water-based, but Blackfire is more oily than WG. I`ve also found Wolfgang to give a deeper, wetter shine than Blackfire.
