Guest navy blue Guests Posted 08/10/04 12:16 AM Share Posted 08/10/04 12:16 AM My BA XR6 is about 4 months old now and think it is time to polish/wax the car. Is there any need to polish, is wax all that is needed for a new car? Wasting time polishing then waxing?Thinking of using Meguiars Gold Class Wax, dear but everyone thinks it is good. Anything else to recommend on an Envi XR6?Thanks. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/13297-polish-or-wax-or-both/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest xspsi Guests Posted 08/10/04 01:50 AM Share Posted 08/10/04 01:50 AM meguiars is good but I have had problems with a haze after using it a few times. I've found mother's to give just as good a shine and no problems with haze.

Try to stay away from the cheap products. Turtle wax stay away from but only good for the Wash and wax. Kittens are along the same lines as Turtle wax.Good luck,Rob...

Use the # 3 pure Carnarba and only wash with the Gold wash.The wax is very easy to use and 3-4 times a year should have you looking good.I use them both on my face as well and people never stop commenting on just how good I look........... :lol: Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/13297-polish-or-wax-or-both/#findComment-173930 Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have a light colour just waxing is fine.I use gold class wash and gold class wax with the lambswool mit and there's not a swirl mark to be found on my ute.

bernoo Member 25 Member For: 21y 8m 15d Posted 09/10/04 10:57 AM Share Posted 09/10/04 10:57 AM I have tried them all. My preferance was meguires but now all I use is Toughseal. Not avaliable in stores. Whitewalls SA sell it in Adelaide. It KILLS the rest. I have a phabtom XR6 and the paint looks like glass. Depth id incredible. Posted pic does do it any justice but will give you an idea Contact no 0427715380.
