Ultimate compund?

Re: Ultimate compund?

Cleaner/Wax, which means it contains cleaners, polishes, and wax.

Ok, but if it contains wax, why would I apply wax after colorX?

You would not have to.

But Meguiars recomends two thin coats of wax for best looks/protection. Also, ColorX does not have the new polymer ingrediants that Nxt 2.0 has, if you wanted to take advantage of that as well.

Get some ColorX, wash an if needed clay the paint before applying the wax. When you apply the wax work a small section at a time, about 16" square or so with the idea to really focus on and work the section you're working on so you do a really great job of applying the wax.

After you do one section, leave the wax to dry and move onto a new section and overlap a little into the previous section. Continue this process until you've waxed the entire car or the section you want to tackle for the day.

After the wax has dried wipe it off using a clean microfiber polishing cloth.

You're done and the paint will look great.

Avoid getting this wax on rubber or plastic trim.

By the way...

What are you working on?

I'm working on my 03 SL500.

I can apply colorX by hand with my megs foam applicator, right?

Yes.

ColorX is very versatile, it should be in everyone's arsenal.
