lovin' it Clay, just lovin' it!!!


About time for another run I think.

BTW, Meguiars Ultimate Detailer is awesome after washing, especially on dark colours. Sprays on like water but gets rid of all the chamois marks and really brings out the depth - even on my white Tig it's noticable.

I have heard good things about Meguiars.
Will give it a look when the nanolex runs out.
I am using the nanolex becasue it is a quick and easy solution which is what i am after really, don't feel like the 2 hour detail every few weeks.

Should have a catch up drive again when Jimbo gets back.

I will be getting a waffle weave towel this week from CCP.
Might still keep the shamwow for soaking up the main water and then use the towel for proper drying.
Got the microfibre cloth for buffing the sealant off as well.

For those with rainwater tanks, I can highly recommend washing the car with rain water. No need to dry off at all as the rainwater just evaporates after the wash with not one single streak or water mark....guaranteed every time.

How do you apply the nanolex? is it just like normal wax & polish? The "aftercare" lady at the dealer was trying to sell me the paint protect / leather protect package but at > $1000 I think it's a rip off.

It is just a spray bottle.
Once the car is washed and dried, just a quick spray over the top of the bodywork (to cover with a light mist) and then buff it off with a microfibre towel.
Takes all of about 5-10 minutes and has worked a treat so far.
Also works on the windscreen to make water bead and run off more easily.

does it last for a few washes or do you need to do it after every wash?

The website for carcareproducts has more detail on it.

I am going on a 4 wash application.
I wash the car every 4 weeks (once a month) so i will re-apply it every 4 months.
I believe the website speicifies a 6+ month protection period.
