Just wondered what you's guys use to wash your delicate F8X

[Aaaaaaaaa]

Carnuba wax gives more depth and gloss as opposed to most synthetic sealants which produce mostly shine.

Adam's H20 Guard and Gloss is great we have been using it as a drying agent. So after the wash before you dry use it as a drying agent, what's great is you added shine and protection on it, we have found it to last 1-3 months for sure.

I have attached a pic of what AMMO does to my car 😦

Ammo great stuff!

as stated before my favorite is Adams but there are others that are good too.

If you don't want scratches (swirls), never touch your paint with anything with high friction or otherwise that would hold dirt at the surface.

Use a leaf blower, if you don't have that use a waffle microfiber towel and dab your paint, meaning don't wipe, put on the paint, take off without moving it.

AMMO for sure! I have since added AMMO Emergency Spit since taking this original picture. I have to admit, though, that I use now Adam's Car Wash Shampoo since I can buy it in a gallon size. I run through the small bottle of AMMO foam paint cleanser (i.e., soap, lol) too quickly to justify it over Adam's.

I'm almost out though and I've been considering switching to Chemical Guys WAC808 Hybrid V7 Optical Select High Gloss Spray Sealant and Quick Detailer. Supposed to be great for black cars. Anyone have experience with it?

i use hybrid v7 but if you want to take it to next level use menzerna quick detailer

I've spent what feels like and may very well be thousands of dollars on car car products over the last 2 years. I can't say that I can really tell a huge benefit unfortunately.

Example. I wash one of the cars (Either the White M3 or the Black Explorer). Get the paint clean, clay, polish etc etc.

At that moment right there, I am dealing with pristine paint that looks great. By what I read and hear from others, after applying X product as a glaze and whatever other Y product as a sealant and product Z as a wax it should look even better. Well for my eyes, the paint never gets any better than how it looks freshly properly clayed and polished where necessary.

I have a garage full of glazes, waxes, sealants, applicator pads, spray seals blah blah blah. I guess I am sort of over it.

So with that, can you guys that actually have washed clayed and waxed your car REALLY tell a difference? I figured on black pearl paint it would be easy to tell some sort of diff but eff me I cant see anything...maybe I don't know what to look for?

I love your collection 3er, if only I had all of that

I largely ignore anything you can't buy in gallon size or be diluted.

That's the only downfall with AMMO, he doesn't provide bigger capacity bottles, unlike chemical guys or griots garage

[aboulfad]

Duragloss #901, amazing price/quality ratio
Ditto for DP Xtreme

I've been using Adams products for years and have ways been happy with them!

I am now looking at Griots Garage, the problem is it's very expensive as well as me paying customs charges as I live in the UK

The only people who say that are the ones who make and sell carnauba wax.
