Looking to add a wax to my basic package...
Slowly getting there... my business is almost ready for opening... right when winter is starting, oh well!
Anyway, to the point.
I've finalized my packages, their processes and products; except my basic wash/ wax. I originally didn't want to offer this because (for many reasons) but
price points can also be barriers and as the saying goes... people want clean and shiny. So, I needed something "entry level" to let people experience my work, build repoire, and eventually up sale services and corrections. Thus the basic wash/wax.
I am in search of a cleaner wax due to its ability to clean painted surfaces. I realize it's limitations of longevity and severely limited defect removal. But, again, that's not the mission statement of this package either.
My wants are as follows for a cleaner wax...
-D/A friendly
-Quick... as in working a larger section than traditional polishing, with fewer passes, to complete the minor mechanical and major chemical cleaning of panels. Ideally, I would like to be able to work it as much or as little into a section as needed without compromising durability or the cleaner waxes ability to finish.
-Filling... there is filling associated with every product but I would like it to be as minimal as possible (once more, many reasons for this and 'pride' isn't one of them.)
-I will not be offering a clay treatment with this package. I feel a cleaner wax would be hard pressed to remove potential marring left behind after a clay bar.
-Plays nice w/ D156, which I assume it does since it is a Megs product
I'm looking strongly at #6 and l'm posting to get thoughts and feedback on my soon-to-be purchase.
I've considered #66 and #20 also, but am unsure due to their perceived filling. I haven't seen a lot of feedback regarding their use with a d/a. Mostly #66 is mentioned with rotary use but I leave the rotary for cutting, not cleaner waxes. Mentioned in another post was the level of cut... with #66 being the greatest and #20 & #6 equal to each other. I would assume #20 would last longer than #6... but they are both hybrids from my understanding? I have also considered just using A12 but I read where the Mirror Glaze line of cleaner waxes are 'more' machine friendly and actually cut and clean 'better.'
(Side note: I have D151 but I find it more time intensive than other cleaner waxes and that product is reserved for another package that includes a clay treatment. I'm positive the cut of D151 will easily remove any marring induced by the clay treatment, thus my reason for using both the clay and 151.)
Many thanks,
