Re: Waxing A Cold Car

It was 41°F today but the wind was blowing quite hard. Do you get snow in Santo Domingo?

Nop!

Re: Waxing A Cold Car

I just washed and waxed today. I'm really stoked about the NXT2 wax. Can't really capture the finish with a camera. After finishing the wax I went over the car with a coat of Ultimate Quick Detailer to catch any spots of wax I may have missed. The finish is unbelievably soft and smooth to the touch and the shine is nothing short of fantastic. At the moment I'd probably make a good spokesman for Meguiar's products. The car wash picture was taken on the 31st of January. It was a bit warmer today.

So far so good. The Z looks great. Can't wait to see the shine after the second coat of nxt. Looks great.

Kind of sad that an expensive 350Z doesn't have a better paint job. It's nice and shiny and a gorgeous metal flake that sparkles in the sun but it does have some orange peel.

Tell me about it...but in the days of automobile manufacturers with 50,000 car sales targets, they don't have the time to ensure that the paint is perfect.

I think BMW is the worst current culprit. A guy in my office building has a brand new BMW 550i, and the paint looks corrugated.

Re: Waxing A Cold Car

Yes it's ok but you might need to wait a little longer to wipe it off.

as far as the weather..i know what you mean...it got into the 40's by me and i did all 3 of the family cars

when i did the waxing...it took the NXT a good 20-30 mins to dry and same with the M16...i think i gave that even a little longer

as far as orange peel...im still new to all that and am waiting to hear about that too

Re: Waxing A Cold Car

'Nother n00b question.

Is the orange peel in the base coat or the clear coat (or both)?

I assume that base coat orange peel is not repairable, but CC is (to some extent)?

Re: Waxing A Cold Car

Here's the way I look at it: Orange peel is something you will have to deal with, but swirls can be avoided or removed.

As long as there are no swirls, the paint is better than 90% of cars on the road.
