Vehicle waxing for lazies

Folk like me.

Anyone tried any? Can be bought in larger containers from the Slims Detailing Webiste.

What you reckon @ColinV6? Could be just the job for ya tractor. Apply to washed (wet) vehicle with spray bottle or foam cannon?


ProtectorWax Premium protection wax PW High-gloss, lotus effect and protection The innovative high-tech conserving wax sets new standards in matters of protection, durability, extreme deep gloss, long-term water repellence (lotus effect), easy-to-clean performance and vehicle drying without micro-beading. The use of polyfunctional reactive components in combination with highest quality care components, which bond firmly with the surfaces as a network, guarantee perfect long-lasting high-gloss protection and improved visibility during rain (beading). Improves with regular use the gloss and protection layer, covers fine scratches and all rubber and plastic parts as well as convertible fabric top materials are protected against fading and embrittlement. ProtectorWax thus makes a considerable contribution to maintaining the vehicle’s value. Can be used as hot, cold and foam wax (mechanically and manually). Achieves optimum drying results even with high conductance values of the service water and with difficult fan geometries. Optimally suited for standard as well as for biological service water treatment plants. Contains no mineral oil hydrocarbons. VDA conform to class A. Manual use: Pour approx. 30ml ProtectorWax into 1l water and apply it to the clean, still wet vehicle using a foam sprayer or pump dispenser and let it soak in. Rinse the product thoroughly using a pressure washer to avoid stains. If applying using a foam gun, adjust the pre-dilution accordingly. Pat dry any residual water Only mix the product for one application and do not store.

I use various products and honestly dont believe there is any thing to choose. I use G tech mainly, but only because I have a cupboard ful thanksto my son who has since sold his car
one of the best things you can do for your car is clay the windscreen thoroughly , then apply a rainshield. It is like driving a brand new car in the wet

I will take a proper look into that, cheers Ollie. I’m currently using a TFR+wax that seems to leave a decent shine but I’d imagine you’d still need that first to loosen the crap off. Then add this other stuff on the rinse?

Never ever use TFR it removes all wax ever applied, leaves the vehicle very shiny clean , but no protection against UV

Yeah, TFR and wash as normal with pressure washer first, rinse off thoroughly to remove all you can and then you add this stuff either in the foam gun or via a pump sprayer. Seems like you can apply it to a wet vehicle, leave it to dwell then wash it off. I am guessing it doesn't want to be applied in hot sun.

Ive found it the only effective way of getting muck off tractors, especially on tyres. The wax seems to leave the tractor beading nicely when you’ve finished.

My car, is a totally different ball game. It’s ceramic coated so only gets PH neautral with no wax etc

Yes, as you say the commercial car cleaning type stuff won't touch what the average tractor gets up to. A good shampoo off plus this wax might keep machines gleaming with minimal hand effort.

Any good for the fertiliser spreader? Mines rusty despite washing out when done. Have thought of some kind of wax product to spray on.

Hate to tell you this, but ceramic coating is only a waxcoating. Despite the claims it is little different to Turtlewax etc

From my experience it’s a lot different. I had one of my previous cars done with G-techniq and it was hydrophobic and had loads of gloss for the whole 2.5 years I had it (g-techniq said it lasted 4 years with the proper wash technique)

This car, is a colour which would be an absolute nightmare without it. I can do contactless washing using a neutral snow foam and rarely even have to use shampoo or a mitt.
Now 18 months in to a Feynlab coating and the gloss and way it beads is still incredible.

Never come across this before. Sounds interesting.
 
No point. Won't get anymore when you trade it in, hand it back. They barely look at the car. Just use pressure washer and tfr.

Same with tractors

Thought the thread was going to be waxing for ladies.

It's not to do with the value of trade ins and more to do with keeping it looking spangly and also it's easier to clean stuff off if muck is on wax.
