Default Eagle One Nano Wax

For those of you with dark cars looking for a great wax that won't empty the bank account, try the Eagle One Nano Wax. I have probably three grand worth of waxes and polishes in my garage ranging from Zaino, Klasse, mothers, Mcguiers to Menzerna acrylic jacket. I will tell you that the Nano whips their asses in shine, swirl mark filling and ease of application. I was skeptical but now am awed by the shine. Bought it on base for 15.00 but Wal-Mart has it for about 6.00. Had to share. See you all at the Carlsbad car show tomorrow.

Stick with the Zymol but upgrade to the Carbon which is for dark colors.

You could have my Zymol. Won't be using it again. Cleaner waxes are made to do both clean and wax. I don't use them because you still have dirt that was picked up on the paint when you buff it out. Paste wax is just a thicker compound of silicas or carnauba. I've tried so many different waxes and polishes it's not even funny. You should see my wax shelf in the garage. 7 feet tall by 4 and stocked to the top with everything out there. I have never had an easier product to use that got rid of my swirl marks and looked so deep. But thats just my opinion. See it for yourself tomorrow at the car show if you like.

im gonna take ur word for it to buy the eagle one nano wax, will it work to use nu finish once a year polish before putting on wax? or does not combine? to remove my scratches i go with the turtle wax heavy duty compound> then white softer compound> then maguires scratch X remover> NU scratch doctor> NU car polish> then Zymol cleaner wax! i do all this using different buffer pads using the buffer. and this removes all my scratches!!

I tried some when it first came out and I didn't give it a fair shake. I'll check and see if I have any left.

That was three different items being applied, Right? If it was I agree that it always looks better. When I have eight hours to burn I will use Griots #4 polish with orbital polisher. I then wash and clay. Wash again then apply Menzerna Acrylic Jacket & use the buffer to take it off. I will then micropolish the entire car by hand. Finally I apply Collinites no 845 insulator wax then remove with microfiber cloths for a beautiful deep smooth long lasting shine. But that is a whole days work. I used the Nano wax and it looks almost as good and I only spent an hour on the exterior of my car. The engine bay and interiors took another two.

I've never used it. For the scratches you really need to use an orbital polisher. I picked one up from griots garage and it works great. After you polish the scratches out everything else just falls in place.

If you're buffer is the big round one with two handles, those really don't work as good as the ones that look like little grinders. Try this link http://www.griotsgarage.com/product/...rrivals&page=1 They are far superior and won't burn your paint.

^^^^ i wish i had that, those look great! but i have been using this cheap *** buffer for some time now, i think its doing the job ok. one more question, is it a big deal to wait for the wax or polish or the scratch remover to dry to a haze b4 removing it???

Yes, you want it to dry before removing it unless it speciffically calls for removing it while damp.

Man I'd love to but I work Sun through Fri. We need to set up a detail day where a group of us bring our goods and get crazy with the detailing. Preferably a Sat.
