  • Different waxes

    ok, time for me to know more about waxes. im looking into working on my computer case, which seems to be clear coated! whoa.... i did the polish test ( appl y polish to applicator pad, apply polish, then check pad. if the pad is the color of the paint, then it is a single stage paint, if not, then it is clear coat ) should i do another test? im surprised that it is clear coat. anyways, i wanna make this thing shine like no other. and the face that it is black makes me want to do it more. so should i use a caruaba wax instead of a synthetic polymer like nxt? i heard that carnuaba gives more of a wet look. im thinking of going through #80, followed by #7 ( how should i apply it? i think i remember applying a thin coat and removing it without letting it haze.. true? should the product be worked in? ) then topping it off with 2 layers of wax. no need for it to be protected from the elements since it just sits here. ill post some before and after

    oh and the inside is sheet aluminum like found in soda cans but thicker. shoud i use nxt all metal polish? lol this is gonna be a fun project

    The waxing should be ok either way. Using Nxt or Gold Class should look great.

    I'd be carefull of the Metal Polish.. just do a little test spot.. ir could generate a lot of black 'soot' for lack of a better word, whcih could make a mess inside a good case.

        Looks good, whats inside it, P4, AMD, vid card?

        BTW, to clean your computer case, spray-something, onto a MF applicator pad, or Microfiber towel, and wipe that way.

        I wouldnt spray directly onto a pc, unless it is empty.

        Same goes with monitor, TV's ect.
