The ICE stuff work fine but I think I like Meguires is better....I will try the BM when I run out of the ICE.

The NXT stuff...though someone else said the Final inspection stuff is better...never tried it myself so I can't say.

maybe if i just buy all of them and put them in a bucket and mix them all together and put them in a single spray bottle then chances are that it would kick A$$.....lol

Mix them all togehter, now that's an idea.

N8te81, I've found that BM's qd works best on my black metallic paint as far as renewing that just waxed shine and depth. I haven't tried Meg's final inspection or NXT qd as of yet, so I can't compare to those two, but I'll get around to them as they are always improving formulas. For best results on your car with Royal Blue or any wax for that matter, you should;

#1 Get a good car shampoo and wash with a good wash mit (Meg's Gold Class Shampoo will work fine or any of your choice)
#2 Dry with a microfiber
#3 Test the paint's cleanliness by putting your hand in a plastic ziploc bag and lightly running your hand over the paint surface. The paint should be smooth as a baby's bottom. If you feel any roughness got to step #3 if smooth step #4
#3 Clay the entire vehicle, this will remove any contaminants left behind the wash.
#4 Once the paint is clean, you are ready to wax. Having clean paint before waxing and polishing is the key.

There are plenty other steps you could take, but it seems you just want a good simple waxing and this is the best way to ensure the wax bonds to the surface for ultimate protection and shine. Just remember not to rub hard on your paint's surface whether washing or waxing to prevent scratches and marring. The only time more pressure is needed is when you're removing defects with an aggressive compound. To learn more check here. Have fun!

So I broke down last night and bought a bottle of BM detailing spray. I will say it makes the paint look great...it adds a ton of depth to the paint and almost makes it look like its wet......BUT, I don't like how it goes on. It makes me think its 90% silicone because it smears on like I just sprayed WD40 all over my hood then all of a sudden poof! Wet Shine

I'm going to try it on a few other cars before I give up on it....it really does look great but I think it's because of high silicone content....don't really want that on my paint.

Keep in mind this is all my view on the products and that you may totally disagree with me. I won't bash you for using a can of turtle wax from 1990 your dad gave you if that's what you like using. I've just been detailing cars for some time and wanted to give some noobs a little feedback so they don't have to go out and try every product like I do.
