for the vette I striped the wax and washed it down using megs nxt. Clay bar with medium cut clay. Rewashed it - rotary buff everything in three stages - varying compounds dependant on how bad the scratches were. applied paint cleaner glazed and sealed it. since i stripped it of al its wax i built the protective coating back up starting with carnuba wrking twards synthetic wax and finishing with a nano. ---

its normal to layer waxes. i just felt like expiramenting with wax layering but ur right, traditionally show cars go from nano synth to carnuba but as u can see it created the same results. im interested to see how long this variation will last. ---

Also, synthetics are widely held to be more viscous and ā€œfillā€ better. Butā€¦ at the end of the day the car shines or it doesnā€™t, and that car certainly shines very well. ---

very nice :tup: any of you guys have experiance with polymers? I used this stuff called ā€œliquid glassā€ and got some very impressive results from it. I know it says that you cant use wax with it as it wont bond though ---

yeah its older detailing product line - which product of liquid glass did you use? Polymers are commonly used in synthetic waxes. i havent seen this stuff used lately. ---

gotta look at the canā€¦ itā€™s at my parents house. but it layed almost like a layer of clear coat on it. very smooth (supposed to cure it in the sun too) I had around 15 layers on my mark VIII and boy did it shine ---
