Lookin for that Gloss

[Mac-MerC]

I want to wax my car... now i dont know the first thing about waxing an automobile (i've never done it) but i know mine needs it. ive seen you all talk about the black box, mother's, etc;

so if i walk into advance, pep boys, autozone or whatever and buy one of these kits for 30 40 50 dollars what else do i need to buy?....
im not tryig to buy a high speed buffer or anythig like that... what other basic items do i need to get so i can make the kit complete or just so i can do the wax job properly....

appreciate the insite.....

I like the Black Box, but I wouldn't like it if I had to apply/remove entirely by hand. I apply with an orbital buffer and remove by hand. Car always looks decent.

Might be worth looking into having a professional detail your car to bring it up to speed and then learn how to keep it looking really good. The products you can buy in a store are good but the stuff professionals use is usually a lot better grade.

Here is a good example of detailing your car.

haha thanks. fortunately for us, silver it alot easier to keep looking good then black is.

OMG yes lol, tons easier with silver since it can hide dirt and stuff for weeks while still looking clean. I have mine professionally detailed before winter sets in mainly because my MM was a DD for the past 4 years. I have a lot of friends who detail on the side professionally.

I know I'll be forking out a lot though to have a friend or a real detail shop do the paint correction on my Taurus, so many cob web swirl marks and harden water spots all over the car. I've tried all I can do any nothing has worked.

Def. shop around and it's best to take your car to the detailer and have them look at it first to give you a better quote. Also talk to friends and see if have dealt with anyone who does good work.

Thank you on the compliment also, when I do my monthly cleaning to my car I usually spend a good 8-10 hrs hand washing it, take the wheels off to clean them, clay bar the car twice, polish the paint, seal it with a sealer and then wax it.
