Paint Job Maintenance and Car Care - Welcome To The Machine

To ensure against creating swirl marks Andy using a straight-line motion to apply the carnauba wax. The best results were obtained by allowing the pure carnauba to dry completely before hand buffing to a shine with Mothers microfiber towel.

Next Andy moved to the right fender and resumed the test, and applied Meguiar's cleaner wax to the face of the Meguiar's most aggressive yellow soft pad.

Andy used the speed control knob on the G110 to dial-in the speed he felt comfortable with. Next he moved the G110 front-to-rear while looking into the finish to detect flaws (minor scratches and dull areas).

For the final step Andy changed the G110's yellow pad to the gray final finishing pad and applied Meguiar's Gold Class Carnauba Plus, and repeated the polishing steps described above. The Carnauba Plus was left on until it was completely dry and then polished to a high luster with a Meguiar's Supreme Shine microfiber towel.

After it was all done, interestingly we discovered Mothers Syn Wax and Meguiar's Tech Wax 2.0 each left the deepest shines of anything we tested. It's also funny to note Andy and I argued which of those two had the best shine
