car wax
Guys, can you advise what is the car wax you are using? is there an eco-friendly wax?
|
I don't use any wax! I h-a-t-e wax!!! :cool:
I use a Cali Car Duster, doused with Pledge Clean & Shine, twice a day - every day... California Car Duster Company - The Original California Car Duster Pledge ® Clean & Shine How does my mileage look?!?!? Here's my ride - quick snappy, no prep - looks like this 24/7/365... http://www.lenon.com/images/BDC_ECOM...X_SI_FRONT.jpg |
Car washing/polishing and eco-friendly might be contrary purposes.

Yeah, it's not so much an ECO car as a babe magnet, but 'dusting' works better than wax, and it smells better too! Don't know if you ever smelled Pledge Clean & Shine, but chicks dig it... go figure... ;) |
See what you have to do is attract females to carpool with so that your mpg/occupant doubles.
I have been using Meguires Paint Cleaner (on random orbital) then whatever polishes/ compounds/ wet sanding I need on orbital (grinder style) then the blue wax in a clear bottle that walmart sells with a German sounding name. Works well IMHO, some disagree . . . . I'm looking for a chronicle of a guy who detailed the crap out of a MKIV jetta last year. It is unbelievable. |

Nice thought though... ;) I let them wear my shirt every once in a while - does that count? |
You use Pledge on your car paint?! It's car paint not a kitchen table.
I frequent a car detailing forum and they'd cry into wash buckets hearing that. Thread on eco washing/cleaning Proper Washing Technique You could easily adjust the washing technique to make it use less water |

Don't get me wrong! Maybe the word 'doused' confused you. I put Pledge Clean & Shine on my duster, NOT my ride!!! Cali car dusters are impregnated with wax, but it doesn't last very long - especially using it as much as I do. Plus, if your car is hot (I live in Arizona) the wax causes streaking, and so forth, and so on. Sooo... What I do is spray the DUSTER liberally from time-to-time to replace the wax (wax doesn't work all that great). Then, I store the duster in my (hot) trunk, where it soaks into the cotton (kinda like the way a K&N air filter works). Dusters come with a zippered vinyl sleeve so the wax/polish doesn't stain your carpet. Between 'dusting' my car twice a day, and storing the duster in my trunk, my whole ride smells like Clean & Shine - which, of course, adds a physiological component (your nose). Not only does my ride *look* clean & shiny - it *smells* clean & shiny too! LoL! OMG!!! I would NEVER spray Pledge on auto paint, e.g. clear coat - although it DOES work great on plastic body parts, like motorcycle/ATC fenders. You can make a 'dirt bike' look like it just came off the showroom floor using Pledge - but that's a different discussion... ;) |

I only "wash" my ride about 2-3 times a year! Hondas are given to 'body rot'. Spraying Honda CiViCs with a garden hose only exacerbates the problem! Pledge is MUCH better... :cool: |
