Never been waxed... (Sad I know)

[Big Mac]

In addition to the Viper in my other thread, I also own a 2006 Ram 3500 Dually. The truck was completely painted (base/clear DuPont) a year ago. We did the color sand/buff/glaze but I have never waxed it. (It's been a busy year.) I keep it clean and it looks great. Which products should I use? We always just washed stuff with a good cleaner then put on #26. Never tried anything else.

Thanks

NXT Tech Wax 2.0

I love Gold Class Wax. NXT 2.0 is a great product as well though.

what color is it?

Re: Never been waxed... (Sad I know)

It's B5 blue from the old Mopar High Impact colors of the 60's. It's a bright blue metallic.

We did the color sand/buff/glaze but I have never waxed it.

After you wash the Viper, pull it into direct sun around noon and place the sun down onto the horizontal panels.

Does it look anything like this?


Buffer swirls or Buffer Trails or Holograms
Swirls instilled through the use and mis-use of a rotary buffer will tend to show up in a pattern that reflect the direction the rotary buffer was moved over the surface.
