Nano Wax Is Awsome!

[Proballer25]

Man i saw the post about it in this forum and i went out and purchased it today and aplied it. HOLLY SHIT the stuff is amazing.. It also comes with the aplicater and cloth AND A MAIL IN REBATE TO GET UR 10 BUCKS BACK! Everyone go buy it and try it. IT IS AWSOME!!!!

[SpiffyPhilz]

Nano Wax and Turtle Wax Ultra Gloss seem to be the most competative waxes as of late. I'll make sure to compare the two next time I go out. Im sure one of them doesn't shine/last as long as the other. 10bucks a bottle for anything is heavy - especially for a detailer who may go through 2 bottles a day, and i don't forsee the mailin rebate offer lasting much longer. So obviously affordability is a factor for some of us. I'll let everyone know what I think about the waxes.

Nanowax all the way....i love it on my black paint...makes it look very very good.

[SS SDIME]

i have it but i thought that it was hard to get off, next time im gonna try zymol or whatever the paint cleaner wax and see what that does

[03 SS]

Zymol was the bomb & I used it for several years, but I would suggest the new Turtle wax Ultra Gloss. I think it is better than the Zymol I was using, & its $5 cheaper. JMO though.

[Derek]

if all this stuff is the bomb, let's see some pics!

[Offthehook]

so whats better for black cause i might get a bottle

[suprax]

Okay with this nanowax, I was thinking of putting on a polish and then a wax over it. If I get nanowax should I just use it and not worry about polish or should I still go for the polish?

[suprax]

Well I picked some up this morning and I think I'm going to put it on this weekend if the weather stays nice. I'm just debating whether or not to put a paste wax on top of it to make it last longer or not?

[X-2000]

suprax...i would just go with nanowax because it is a wax and polish in one....or at least thats what the bottle says....mines been on 3 weeks and through 2 washes and still repels water like i put it on today.....its by far the best wax i have ever used

Sweet, upload that shit! I can't wait to see how mine turns out tommorrow.

[X-2000]

it will be pretty effin bling blang man.....i love it

[Derek]

Here is a pic of my 99 sdime! Look at the beautiful reflection it gives off! I used Meguiar's swirl free polish #82 and then Meguiar's NXT wax. Both applied with a dual action polisher and foam pad #w8006! What do u guys think?

[Derek]

click on image for bigger pic

[suprax]

You know I went to both Autozone and Pepboys and BOTH places had tags on the shelf for NXT wax but neither place had it in stock. I know its new but that new? It said like $14.99 for the price or something! Thats crazy for a wax so I went with nanowax but if NXT is better maybe I'll give that a shot nexttime.

[Derek]

it came out in february and i ordered it off the meguiar's website! i really like it, but i still think the #26 high tech yellow wax meguiar's makes is better. it is made for professionals and i don't know if u can buy it at a store or not. i got mine at the local meguiar's store. what did u think of pic?

I saw yellow #26 at Pepboys and it was pretty expensive from what I remember.

And thats one hell of a reflection! Its like a freaking mirror. You got any shots of along the side?

[Derek]

yeah, give me a few minutes and i'll try to post!

[Derek]

here is a pic of side (not too good, dark outside) and a pic from the rear, just painted that rollpan last month(my first time paintin)

[suprax]

Man nicccce!

[Hucko]

I can't find that shit is stores!!! i;ve been to auto zone, meijers, and other parts stores!

[LarryD.]

Found mine at discount auto, pepboys stocks it too! Did mine yesterday dully impressed

was pretty overcast this morning and it was still like a mirror!

[Derek]

looks sweet larry! good job

[suprax]

Okay heres the shots I said I'd post. Overall I'm pretty happy with nanowax but I wouldn't quite say that it blew me away. Yeah it was good but maybe my paint just isn't old enough where it would show a big improvement but it seemed to do just about what some of the other waxes did. I would recommend it to people but I wouldn't tell them thats its the best thing ever.

This is just my take on it after using it on my '03 s10. It'd be interesting to find out how it worked on older/worn out paint jobs.




In this second shot, the drivers side of the hood is waxed and the passengers isn't. You can't see too much but the drivers side is a bit richer and has a little better shine.



Finally just a finished shot.

What about durability, anyone have it on long enough yet to see how well it holds up to washes.

[X-2000]

2 washes....2 rain storms 3 and a half weeks....still works like the day i put it on

[Offthehook]

im gonna try and pick some up see how it works

[SLAMnoma95]

werd...it was prolly Juggalofaygo's post that you seen on it, i tell you what it made me a believer...heh, i wasnt payin attention and i looked down at my quarter panel and was like "why the hell is it so small?" i went down and touched it and it was my truck reflecting the ground off my quarter panel LOL, it was so shiney i SWEAR i thought i was missing a quarter panel

i likes teh nano...especially fo FREE.99

[sdime98]

question you guys, i picked some up today, and on the packacge it said apply in a back and forth motion...does this mean left right motion, i always thought you waxed in circles? what did you guys do? just curious, gonna wax the belair for a carshow saturday and i gotta do the s-10 too..just curious, as to what motion you used...

damn it i can not find this shit anyway

[sdime98]

found some today at autozone, then went across the street to advance auto, and they had it too....i had not seen it in therebefore then though

[X-2000]

i believe i applied in a circular motion....it didnt leave any swirl marks.....but i did wash and clay bar my truck before i applied the nanowax.....your choice i guess.....i dont know how clean your paint is.....if it feels a lil rough id go ahead and clay bar it first before you wax it to make sure you get all the little fine particles, bugs, industrial fall out, overspray and the sort, off of your paint before you begin waxing

[jrossty]

I used Nanowax on my machine and loved how it shined. The only drawback I encountered was that I kept the bottle in my garage and the next time I went to apply it, (about 2 months later) it had started to separate. Kind of pissed me off since it hasnt really been that hot in Ohio yet. Other than that it worked great on my paint.

[sdime98]

^ that won't be a problem, all my cleanin supplies stay up in my bedroom, haha only place it can all stay in one place so i don't lose it..lol

[suicidal]

i wax in a back and forth (left to right) motion. that way if there is any kind of debris, sand particles or what not, you won't create swirls. if you have a dark color truck i would definately go back and forth and not circles.

[Derek]

It doesn't matter which method you choose. As long as there is adequate even coverage, you will be fine. Remember to cover at least 50% of what you just waxed to ensure that you do not miss anything. Swirls are caused from debris beong left on your truck, but you can also leave marks from going back and forth. Just ensure that your truck is CLEAN before you wax.

[X-2000]

^i agree

[sdime98]

just finished waxing the belair, i'm impressed by it, but damn is it hard to take off....looks great tho, have to get the truck lookin dolled up sometime next week i guess

[arfrce1]

This wax is the shyt! Just tryed, never changin! damn it makes it shine!

[Hucko]

Nano wax fricken rocks!!

[sdime98]

glad you finally found it...
