Re: White Fiesta ST detailing.

You can always clay.

Just use an old piece, dont reuse on paint/glass.

what about using metal polish and NXT2.0 wax if I have either of these types, is it safe?
thanks

Re: White Fiesta ST detailing.

Wax is always safe as well, (unless it were a matte painted finish).

Getting into the cleaners is where you need to know what you are working on.

Are those aftermarket wheels? Would you be able to call the manufacturer and ask what the coating is?

well, they are a bit matt finish. that's why I'm not sure what I can use. I can try sending email to manufacturer but I doubt any feedback there. the wheels are after-market.

Re: White Fiesta ST detailing.

guys, I just checked my NXT car wash and in the instructions it says to use 2 cups in 4 liters of water. What cups do they mean? the black one on the top with the "pipe" for easy using or some standard US/UK measure ?

Re: White Fiesta ST detailing.

Cant be a US cup...

Did it mean cap?

Generally, you would want 1:128.... so 1 ounce per gallon, 1L per 128L, etc.

I'm completely lost .
It says: "pour 2 capfuls of product into a wash bucket and add 4 litres of water".
How much deciliters of NXT exactly do I need to put in 4 litres of water?
thanks

Re: White Fiesta ST detailing.

I have another question. I have a white car, so how do I use the swipe test to check if the wax is ready for removal . It'll be very hard to see on the white surface, right?

Re: White Fiesta ST detailing.

Ok... if you want 1:128 ratio, and you have 4L of water, that is 40 decaL. So divided by 128, equals .31 decalLiters.

4L doesnt nessicerily sound like a lot of water though, but not sure.

And yeah, wax residue will be hard to see for you. Just keep applying it thin, and kind of look at an angle when removing it.

my thoughts exactly, I was thinking 10L as I usually used.
If I get it right, 10L of water, that should be 0,78deciliters or 78mililiters of NXT right?


edit: actually this doesn't sound right. ah, I was never good in math :-(.

Re: White Fiesta ST detailing.

Well, looks like .078L to me, so 78ml. But someone can check my math as well.

yeah, your right, but it seems allot. that meens that I'll get about 6-7 car washes with this NXT (arround 500mL package) if I use 10L of water .

Re: White Fiesta ST detailing.

Yeah, thats about right.

I got an answer from Sparco: "please always use neutral cleaning products. You can find an instruction
sheet in each wheel box."
Not very useful I guess . The box I've never seen, because they throw it away at the shop where it was fitted.

Re: White Fiesta ST detailing.

hi guys I have a question about delluting gold class carwash. It gives different ratio than NXT carwash in the back. It says "pour 4 capfuls of product and add 4L of water...". this is double that NXT than ?

I'm finally getting ready to do the full 5 step cycle to my pride and joy. I was thinking of not using DC1 + DC polish after clay, but instead just use SwirlX and then NXT 2.0 wax, cos in that case there's less elbow grease involved, cos by the time I wash, dry, clean around doors, etc. I'm completely wasted :-).
I'll use some ScratchX 2.0 if needed on some insulated locations.
as I understand SwirlX had polishing oils and also my car is pure white so I don't need alot of this stuff anyway, right?

I need to get the DA LOL :-).

BTW I'm thinking of doing 2 coats of wax (min 12hours apart) but I will definitely need to wash/clean the car before the 2nd application cos I don't have the garage to keep it clean overnight :-(, so should I just wash it normally with NXT 2.0 or...?
