In praise of... CLEANER WAX!

Re: In praise of... CLEANER WAX!

Sure you can. But the cleaner wax will end up removing it.

Only the excess polish sitting on the surface.

Re: In praise of... CLEANER WAX!

I still like to use Cleaner Wax for oddball things like grills n stuff. I've had this bottle so long that I don't even remember when I bought it. It's at least 10yrs. old... But I wouldn't doubt if it's from the time of my 1st car, which would make it 18yrs now._.

Can you use a glaze before cleaner wax or after?

Re: In praise of... CLEANER WAX!

Don't let the name, "White Wax"/ "Black Wax" confuse you. Their name has nothing to do with what color you car may be.

In a nut shell, the big difference is that the White Wax has more 'cleaning ability', whereas the Black Wax has more of a 'polishing ability'.

As to the light scratches, personally I'd give the White Wax a try.

Re: In praise of... CLEANER WAX!

Not to be a downer on the Good Ol' Maroon Bottle/Can...White wax has become my 'first to grab' in the "cleaner wax" area.

Me thinks, Meguiar's really hit it out of the park with this (White Wax) and Black Wax.

Just my 2

My car is black i was going to get black wax as i need all the help i can get at hiding light scratches ect would black wax be any good for this?

Re: In praise of... CLEANER WAX!

I agree that Cleaner Wax is a great and under-rated product. I have the paste version, and I used it just the other day to polish / protect my rims.

And the smell! It smells good enough to eat! Probably my favourite smelling Meguiars product!

My tin is in the post

Re: In praise of... CLEANER WAX!

This is a great thread

Re: In praise of... CLEANER WAX!

I can't believe this thread came up again. I was thinking about resurrecting it myself. It is still very, very true. I just finished waxing my 2007 Ram with ColorX applied with a pc set at 4 and W-8006 polishing pad. I worked it with "passion". All the minor micro marring from winter washes is gone and the truck is lookin' good with a good coat of wax already in place. Done for the next month or two.

I usually use NXT as an all-in-one "cleaner/wax", but this time I needed a bit more "umph". Therefore the ColorX. NXT as an "all-in-one"? Sure thing if your paint is in good shape and you work NXT like a polish with a pc (or by hand even).

A good thread. "Wax and drive" rather than "Wax and wax and wax..."

p.s. Larry A., I'm 66 too. I've been messin' with waxing cars for 50 years. We "old guys" just know stuff, right?
