It's true, Turtle Wax is a pile of dog shit.

I use Tech Wax also. Sometimes I use Meguiar's Cleaner Wax. They are both good products.

If you're not claying, you're just playing.

Does anyone have anything good/bad to say about Liquid Lustre? It's expensive so if I was to buy some I'd get it by the case online.

I used it to take something off of my paint once. I don't know if it is a wax or not (meaning use it to wax the whole car).

On the wax subject I have meguiars gold class but I haven't used it yet.

I have used meguairs mist and wipe quick detailer and that shit is garbage. I think mothers has a good product for quick detailing but I forget what it is.

I hear mothers is a good choice

the key wax is not really what wax you use but the prep you do before hand. Clay, polish, and wax. me personally im a meguiars guy but i just received a kit from pinnacle so i guess ill be using that and reporting how i like it.

for wax i think going with nxt 2.0 is the best because it works excellent on dark colors. but like i said before prep is key. its prolly best you invest in a buffer if its in your budget.

+1 , a good clay job and polish, then wax is the best thing you can do for a 15+ year old paint job

What was your purpose for using it? Its purpose is to enhance the shine of a car that already has wax (its to touch up finger prints and remove dust) such as at a car show.

I find alot of people dislike products because the method of application is not correct, thus their end product is not what they expect.

+1, I use Megs Ultimate Quik Detailer spray and it works exactly like it's supposed to.

Well there are two, meguairs quik detailer and ultimate quik detailer. Quik detailer is more for a car show when you need to wipe smudges, i found ultimate quik detailer is used after a wash and dry to extend the life of a wax (kinda like a quick wax but better.)

Well, I use it to wipe off finger prints and dust and it works great for that.

Ah ok, i have noticed on black cars Ultimate quik detailer will make the black darker (so if you miss a spot your car looks spotty.) But with the regular stuff it doesnt affect it.

You're right about that. If I hit my CF hood with ultimate I have to do the whole thing if it's remotely dirty or it just looks off. You can't tell there's dust on there unless you hit a little spot and then it just makes the rest of the dust stand out.
