My first wax!

[Workman3886]

So yesterday I made a trip to Autozone and got some things to do a wax job, took about 2 hours for everything from wash to wax but I'm pretty happy with the results, I bought all my own stuff to wash my truck myself too!

Early morning pic!

Looks good! What kind of soap and wax did you use?

Looks sexy!

Damn, two hours is pretty fast, when I wash/wax a car it takes me 5 hours or so and I might be done.

I just used a basic Turtlewax wash, and Meguiar's Ultimate Liquid Wax, I'm not going to lie guys it was a rush job.

The liquid wax was really easy to apply and I did the entire truck fairly quick, even wiping it off was pretty quick, I did do it by hand but I one day I may invest in a buffer for a true shine!

Yeah all you need to get is 1 of the little Turtle Wax buffers they sell @ WallyWorld for about $29 or so. It works really well and easy to use with 1 hand. And I also use Maguires but the Pro Tech 2.0. Its about 18.00 a bottle but it'll last me a whole summer of doing doing car shows .

Looks great freshly waxed! I hate how long it takes and I have a long gravel driveway so it doesn't stay clean for long :thumbdown:

looks good! heres what ya need to get for waxing.. ive been doing reconditioning work for over 8 years and know it can be a pain to hand wax a car..lol and the "orbitals" you see in walmart or wherever aint worth a crap.. but this is what i use and you can wax our trucks in about 5-10mins..

this is a dewalt orbital, model dw443, variable speed, with a velcro backing pad and a ultra soft waxing/finishing pad

just some info if someone wanted to know :top:

invest in a California duster :top: takes off all the dust in a quick swipe, and it will last for ages. That mixed with some quick detailer and you will be clean for a long time.

Where do you buy your pads from?

Also I would emphasize for average Joe's to get an orbital instead of a rotary. Leave the rotary ones for the pros.
