  • Synthetic xpress liquid wax d157 stains?

    I was wondering if this liquid wax will stain any plastic or rubber trims.

    I only hear that the Ultimate liquid wax doesn't stain.

    I've been using Xpress spray wax, and was wondering if this liquid wax offer any other advantage to my customer's car over the spray wax version?

    Obviously speed and ease of use matters here because I'm doing customer's car. If i'm doing my car I'll use Ultimate wax or NXT 2.0 paste.

    I've never had an issue with it staining anything. I use it when drying every car. It actually works well on trims and plastics for me.

    one of my favorite products too. Just re ordered more.

      In similar conditions on a properly prepared finish, Meguiar's considers Ultimate Wax to have the best longevity of their wax / sealant products. It provides very clear and well defined reflections.

      Properly prepared finish would include clay barring, before compound/polishing. It is often suggested to insure complete coverage, Ultimate Wax be used twice. However, since a sealant and time is required for the product to cross link, a cure time of 8 - 12 hours between applications is recommended. Two coats not required, but suggested. Time between applying the product and buffing off is 3 - 5 minutes. The product is intended to be applied in a very thin coat. "thin to win" It does not haze like a more "traditional" wax and sometimes as you apply it, it is just a bit hard to see on the various colors of paint.

        Not sure if it will. But why are you waxing trim?
        Don't do that and you won't have a problem

            Tape, tape, tape.
            Always tape off these areas. I always go around the car and tape off anything I don't want to get wax on/in.

              I think you're referring to D156 Synthetic Xpress Spray Wax.

              The OP is referring to D157 Synthetic Xpress Liquid Wax.

The silver one demands nothing and it looks just fine. I think the black vehicle is taking advantage of me, and the silver car is more my style. We can go out for a drive without her makeup and she looks fine. If I want to take the black one out, it is three or four hours in the "bathroom" to get ready.

                Ignore my statements then, they are only true to D156.

                    I use tape wether they say it will stain or not. Better safe than sorry. I've seen really weathered stuff react differently to different products in different situations.
