okay. Polishing doesnt really require a curing time. Especially if you plan on waxing over. Your wax is your sealer so allow 15 minutes if you really are concerned. I would reccomend after applying your coat go ahead and do your rims and tires or do your windows before removal. This is how we do it as an industry standard, saves time and allows your product to work effectively.
Plz, if you guys are going to post in here, dont drown out the help with usless conversations.

As far as detailing and keeping it clean i've tried all of these except for the jopon and i have to say these are amazing tips, though im wondering as far as keeping it looking good what can you do to make it easier to keep bird poo off of your car, its really starting to become a pain for me because il rainx and stoner my windows and carnuba my entire car only to find bird poo dried on the windshield and hood from the sun.

Man, I have had the best results with newsprint. That or the brown rolls of paper towels that are in some restrooms(we use it at work). Totally lint free.

how do you base your comment about "detailing" in a circular motion. what would you suggest then?

Is there any real way to get grease stains out of carpeting? I am only asking because my truck was once used as a parts truck for a local gas station, but it doesn't have that crappy vinyl like interior that you see on most parts trucks now-a-days. I have tried some product that my mom bought at home depot, but it really didn't work. God who knows why she bought it there. But anyways, is there anything that will really work to get those set in stains out? I have tried almost everything and at this point i have given up, almost.

Hey I got a couple questions for you, I have a bunch of crap all over the black window trim well mainly wax spots, whats the best way to get that to come off or clean up and also have 1 faded piece of black trim. Another thing is liquid glass what are your thoughts on it. I am thinking about going to that and using it on my car. My cousin used to use it and his truck always looked great.

Wax is a bitch once its gotten old. Wax on trim that has become white most often has bleached the trim. Little things you can try is A. Mr. Clean Magic Erasers. B. Soapy Water and a rough rag and some elbow grease or C. Flat Black paint on a rag. It sounds crude but it works wonders on %99.9 of used cars on any lot. About the liquid glass. I say if it works it works. Almost anything you find in a store is a copy of something else. They all work fine, most dont have much lasting power, but neither do the high claimed expensive stuff. The key to making any product work is consistancy. I work off Walmarts shelf, come see my car and tell me it doesnt work lol.

haha, I know that liquid glass has been around for years and when I last looked a container of it was right around $21 a bottle. I was wondering if back to black would work on the trim or not.

back to black works okay, its just very dull. all it really is is black paint. It also fades fairly quickly. expect to do it at least 2x a year.

I just want to give some attention to "detail" if you know what I mean. I am gonna drop it off to a local friend that has a detail shop and he's gonna buff it for me. I had some body work done a while back and the shop buffed the area and got some very nasty swirls that he's gonna take care of. I would just like to keep the rest of the car looking as well as possible. What would you suggest for wheel treatment? should they get polished and waxed like the car?

I like this thread. Can you please give me pointers on how to properly apply and remove wax? Do I just spread it evenly going one direction, or both or light swirls? Do I remove it the same way?
Thanks!
