Are Wax Jobs At Car Washes Recommended?
[MB] No, no, no, no, no, no, no! I used to own a chain of car washes in the Philadelphia area, and I refused to put my own Corvette through it to film a commercial! First of all, some car washes use a polish, not a wax. Second, you will be left with horrible swirl marks in the paint. Third, their priority is economy and speed, not results. They will use the cheapest product, and apply it in the fastest way possible. Not really the way you want your new NSX to be treated, is it? I suggest glazing the car with Eagle 1 Wet Look or 3M Imperial Hand Glaze. Then follow that with Meguiar’s #26 Yellow Wax. Once you have done that, you should never have to glaze the car again, as long as you keep the coat of wax on. For touch ups, use Meguiar’s Final Inspection. That should keep your NSX looking almost as good as ours! 🙂 “Waterless” Car Washes [GM – 98/12/26] Stay away from waterless car washes. In my experience they scratch the finish. I test I did showed water and soap to be more effective
