Re: Tested out Gold Class Carnauba Plus Wax

^ I had the same problem lol

When I went from NXT liquid to the Gold Class paste, I over applied like a mother!

But better at it now. I have a red CCS pad for my DA but I cant seem to apply it properly with it. I need more time with it I suppose, I usually run out of light when I get to waxing

Re: Tested out Gold Class Carnauba Plus Wax

Tested out a paste Gold Class Carnauba wax.. This is my first Meguiar's Paste wax I have.. And I made terrible waxing with paste wax, need to learn how to use a paste wax.. I made too thick wax on the car so it was very hard to buff and caused a lot of wax residue.. I don't have a closed garage so a lot of dust interfere the waxing process and I got some dust on the pad and in the can of wax... But no worry, I cleaned them one by one..

Then I tried to use a DA, so I put the yellow foam applicator handpad and spin it to the paste wax. Then I rub the paste wax on my finishing pad on my DA.. Then I use speed 3 to apply the GC CP... wow it was amazing, really easy to apply and easy to buff.. Not to mention how really difficult to buff thick wax on almost half of the car..

The result really amazed me, the colour is very bright on my silver car.. I love NXT 2.0 and I really love Gold Class Carnauba plus

Thanks Meguiar's

I found this cheesy diagram. I personally have never cleaned in between the box and the cab. Let me know if you come up with something that works well.

Wow, That looks amazing

Ive got a question though, how do you clean the space between the bed and cabin, I'm cleaning my cousins work truck for him and I can't reach in between with my hand , I was thinking about wrapping a microfiber towel around a stick and going to town , what do you think

Re: Tested out Gold Class Carnauba Plus Wax

I will be rewaxing (of course, prep included) this coming month. I cannot decided if I should use GC Carnauba Plus or Tech Wax 2.0. I have 8 bottles of TechWax 2.0 and 3 full cans of GC Carnauba Plus paste.

So you got about 5 months out of GCCP? That's pretty good.

Why don't you do the NXT 2.0 / GCCCP combo like you did previously?

Re: Tested out Gold Class Carnauba Plus Wax..ATTN: Ephios

I was really impressed with this new GC. In fact, I bought a second tin, just in case. But I knew an 11oz tin will last me at least a couple of years.

I use TechWax 2.0 as my base coat, then wait for at least 12 hours for the curing process. Then, I come back with a coat of Gold Class Carnauba Plus. It makes my paint pop!

Ephios, do you apply Gold Class Carnuba over NXT 2.0 for added appearance factors or for added durability. What do you think is lacking in NXT 2.0 as the only product.
Thank you.

Re: Tested out Gold Class Carnauba Plus Wax

Its still beading "okay". I only applied a single coat and have only washed my truck twice since this writeup. I washed it with UW&W both those times and it was beading better after the wash.

Hopefully when things slow down and I am not as busy I can make a better judgement.

You've only washed it twice since January? Dayum, you are busy! But being busy is a great thing in a down economy, especially here in northern Illinois.

I'd offer to help you out and wash it, but I'm fearful I'd miss a bug or streak your glass.....

Any updates on the Gold Class Plus durability?

Re: Tested out Gold Class Carnauba Plus Wax

I applied in combo about two weeks ago. It went through about three (3) days of rain storm, and two car washes. You know what? It's still good as it was the first day I applied it. It still beads like crazy!

Be sure to report back on the durability of GCCP.
