I just used Mother's 3-Phase Ultimate Wax System:

Phase 1 - Pre-Wax Cleaner
Phase 2 - Sealer and Glaze
Phase 3 - Pure Carnauba Wax

Man, I really like this system. My TL is a 1999 and it looks brand new! I plan on putting another coat of Mother's Reflections Premium Polish on this weekend if the weather cooperates! If I do I will take some pics and post them!

Any others have experiences with Mother's?

I am putting on another coat of WET LOOK EAGLE 1 wax on tomorrow.... Hopefully the weather will cooperate...

 

I think the Mother's System does a very good job. Only one problem though..........time. It takes me a whole day.

How long did it take you to wash and wax your car?

 

Ok, I am going to tell you guys one last time. Use KLASSE, you will not be disappointed. It is hard to find, just go to any highend detail shops or BMW/Mercedes/Porsche dealers and they should have them.

I spent 4 hours washing and polishing my car. When I was all done it looked the same as when I started (new)! heh

 

I spent all sunday last weekend washing, rewashing, claying, washing again, zaino's Z-1, then Z-2, buff, Z-2 some more, buff, Z-2 before sleeping, woke up early to buff off final coat, but still ended up late to class. oh well, least my car was cleeeeeaaan.

 

Does anyone have suggestions for polishing / waxing black paint. I have 3k miles, so I'm about to put on the first application for winter.

I'm concerned about swirling the paint. Any suggestions? On my previous car, I was using Xymol. Easy app, soft finish and great shine.

Acura-TL, I think you have a Silver TL if I'm not mistaken. I am curious about the Klasse and or Maguiers (..spelling).

Suggestions???? Also, let me know what NOT to use.

 

Klasse is made in Germany. Even Jet uses them to improve aerodynamic, don't know why that's true. It is a cleaner/wax/polish but does not contain any slicon. Even if you accidentally put some on rubber parts, it won't stay on it like regular wax. You can actually polish glass and chrome with it too.

My garage is full of Meguiar, Mothers, you name it. When I got the Klasse, I never used those stuff again. I used to enter in IASCA stereo shows and I always get compliment on the shine of my car.

Opps, that would be........

Klasse High Gloss Sealant Glaze is the ultimate arcylic polymer show car glaze. Designed to be used after polishing, Klasse High Gloss Sealant Glaze produces a deep acrylic shine that lasts for months.

or

The uniquely formulated KLASSE ALL-IN-ONE NON-ABRASIVE CLEANER PROTECTOR is in ONE PRODUCT an exceptional cleaner, restorer, "wax", polish and sealant.

 

Do you think I could use this KLASSE SEALANT GLAZE over the Mother's 3-Phase system I have already used to get an extra "wet look"?

 

Here is a link where you can order the KLASSE:

Ceriman, I have a silver TL and I have been using the Mothers stuff and they do a great job. It is time consuming but the trick is to invest $30 in a buffer. Cuts your time in half. As for the black car, my wife has a black Prelude and the only wax that I have used to keep from getting the swirls is the Mothers wax, and the sealer glaze combo with the buffer!! the buffer is the key. Good luck.

 

AcuraTL- Thanks for the tip about Klasse. Looks promising. I think I'll try it.

TITAN3.2TL - Thanks for the link. Good stuff.

Hey TITAN-why are you thinking of switching to Mugan exhaust? What don't you like about the Comptech?

 

jhalderman- I like the Comptech's, but I am 34 with a family and use my car for business. The Comptech's are just a little too loud for my taste.
