I tried hard waxing my car…..

Too much wax by a mile

AM glaze is an easy product ( good value to) to use, followed by the AM sealant.

Clay bar it first to pull off any contaminants . Mark any swirls or scratches with a piece of masking tape and go back and nibb em off , use whatever you feel good at using as everyone has their own favourite cutting base . If you are putting a true wax on like say zymol glasur ( it’s good ) then a pea size amount warmed on you hand would do at least a panel possibly more and leave for a good half hour before taking off . Mate used half a pot on his new car and wondered why he couldn’t get it off

@ Howsey  Ive used half a pot on the mrs before..

No nothing.

No Mods. No rockers. Just a chunky knob, thats now been replaced by an RS knob innit.

No tackiness.

Std as Ford intended, but with a space saver wheel and jack and nuts and wheel brace. oh.. and flaps, a man has got to have flaps.

Innit?

It is a time consuming job, de-tar / T-cut / polish / hard-wax.

Did my RS about 4yrs ago and agreed hard wax gives a lovely finish, when I wash the car it is just water on the body and a little detergent on the wheels. People don’t believe me when I tell um, just water🤣

Job for next spring to redo it over again.

Art for hardwax is warm but not sunny day and only apply to a small area then buff it up with clean cloth, even a yr later I would spot an area where hardwax was thick 🫢

I used about half a tin on RS.

Just pay a grand or so for a decon, polish and good 9 year ceramic coating and be done.

Washing is a breeze for many years once you do this.

Often only needs a snow foam and wipedown or ONR rinsless – dead easy.

Just need to recoat wheels every couple of years – no more harsh wheel cleaners or brushes, just regularly pressure wash to rinse out the grime.
