How do you USE/Apply EA Wax-as-u-dry?
am i doing it wrong?
while wet Spray wipe/buff this stuff stays on!!...the car looks like it's been wiped with oil afterwards.... comments? Teach me how to use it ?:dunno: |
I have found, that if you skimp on a wax product, e.g., anything that says you get a better result with less work, that it is just not true.
I tried the TW Ice and Liquid Clay bar products, and you just do not get as good results than with a quality wax, and a real bar of clay. As for EA Wax-as-u-dry, I honestly do not know. I googled it and could not find any kind of instructions on its use. Cheers fellow Richmond Hill'r:) Ed |
there is no such thing as wax as you dry. its all crap
wax has to be applied dry, then it has to haze, then you buff it out. dont use that junk. go get a meguiars, or mothers wax, and enjoy. or do what i do--- spend the cash and reap the rewards with zaino. |
damn..it...should have made clear i was NOT trying to avoid waxing and polishing.
I DO clay my car...polish and used zaino...and alot of OTC waxes as well I am just using this as a QD.....after wash touch up sorta thing.... rg200amp: don't tell me you wax your car everytime you wash your car once..... |
True. It's not convenient to put wax on after you wash your car, if you wash your car periodically that is. Don't they make wash soap with wax in it? I swear there used to be this stuff called RainDance, which was just that.

NO NO NOOO i wax once a month, i do wash my car 2x a week, and after each wash i use a non abrasive polish. wax is just that- wax, it distorts your cars clear coat if you use to much to often. you should wax 1 time a month, polish whenever you wash. wax as u dry is not giving a real protection, nor is the wash and wax, cause as you know wax has to dry and haze and cure. how is that done if the car is wet, and your drying it? if you want to get on a great program do this___ 1 wash car with dawn. 2 polish and buff 3 polish and buff 4 wax and buff now your set - wash(thanks casedogg for pointing that out)with a good car wash like meguiars 1-2 times a week, and polish after(if you dont polish everytime its ok, try to polish atleast 3-4 times a month) and wax 1 time a month. -make sure you use a non-abrasive polish and not a cleaner wax. this is my method, im not saying i am a god of carwashing, but im good friends with a lot of detailers, and i have tried EVERYTHING including the wax as you dry, this is by far, imho the best way to do it. but to each his own |
From the Zaino website:
I don't advise making a habit of washing your car with Dawn. High alkaline products like Dawn are tough on polishes. It will never harm the paint finish though. A car wash is made specifically to clean without removing durable polishes. |

only wash with dawn once, to get a deep clean, and to take off the old wax, then polish and wax. then when you wash after tht, use a good car wash like meguiras, ardex, or zaino. you just use dawn the first time to start the program thanks casedogg for pointing that out, it did look like i said wash everytime with dawn:Eyecrazy: |
Hey RG I saw you the other day in Oxford Valley Area, you were making a right by Olive Garden. I wasn't in the 8 I was in the Subaru at the time. I was digging the rims, did you get them powder coated?
|
So whats a good "non abrasive" polish. You can't use regular car polish, like Megs Deep Crystal Step 2 everytime you wash. Eventually you will polish through your clear. Am I correct? Wouldn't something like a paint cleaner be better?

na, there not powder coat, there just duplicolor wheel paint and clear. im saving for new wheels and tires, so in the mean time i wanted to see how the stock wheels looked gunmetal. i like them, i think my aftermarkets will be either black or gunmetal. im still up in the air.:rolleyes: |

Or are you leaving it wet? Maybe your buffing towel is getting too wet? Maybe you're spraying too much product? Try using an extra towel that you keep dry for that final pass (as your normal drying towel may be getting wet). |

you should wax 1 time a month, polish whenever you wash. wax as u dry is not giving a real protection, nor is the wash and wax, cause as you know wax has to dry and haze and cure. how is that done if the car is wet, and your drying it? Consider Wax-As-U-Dry--it's basically spray wax that's pretty concentrated. So you want to use it very sparingly. As you dry your car, the you dilute the wax with the water, and as you move the towel around, you are essentially buffing it in. if you want to get on a great program do this___ 1 wash car with dawn. 2 polish and buff 3 polish and buff 4 wax and buff now your set - wash(thanks casedogg for pointing that out)with a good car wash like meguiars 1-2 times a week, and polish after(if you dont polish everytime its ok, try to polish atleast 3-4 times a month) and wax 1 time a month. To each his own for sure. |
