My Celica & MR2

[hioctane]

Hi, I'm new.

Here's what I used on my mr2

Meguiars Gold Class Wash

Zymol Car Cleaner Wax

Nu Polish

Orange Blast lighting engine degreaser



I spent the entire day waxing/buffing/polishing/Cleaning the engine. The results were okay, nothing amazing compared to the meguiar wax. However; I am disappointed by the $13 zymol wax. It doesn't work that good and is very hard to buff off. I used the meguiar quick wax on my black celica and it shines like a mirror and I only spent like 2 hrs doing so instead of the whole day trying to get the remaining wax off my car. I used to use a petrolium engine degreaser, but then i found autopia. I went out and bought an acid based degreaser "orange blast" and I was skeptical about it cleaning my engine because it didnt' seem as strong as the petrolium based cleaner. I was happy with the results and the engine looked extremely amazing.
