no big difference. but when using liquid waxes or glazes it cuts the time for application down by about 90% and saves your hands from cramping up before you have to remove the wax.

but with paste waxes or carnauba you still should be applying by hand. i usually use p21s wax and have to apply it by hand.

What complete kit from Autogeeks with a PC would you recommend that I buy?
What is the order in regard to doing a complete wax/polish job on a car.

Thanks again

When I did mine this is the order I went:
Wash with Dawn
Alchohol wipe down
Clay bar
Wash again
M105
M205
Wash to get all the dust off, wish the 105 wasnt so dusty
Sealant
Wax

The car shines like a diamond in a goats *** now, and its SMOOTH!

From a little over a month ago....same topic basically. Check out the thread, do some reading, and try a search too. You'll find all the answers you need.

Menzerna Super Intensive Polish
Menzerna 106FA "Nano"
These polishes are designed for ceramic based clear (very hard) and cut exceptionally well and finish down astonishly well. My fav combo.

2. Best all-around kit for average/hard clears (more capable on hard clears with practice)
PC kit with 5.5" pads
LC pads orange, white, black (flat pads, not CCS ones. just call and ask, they will do it)
Meguiars 105
Meguiars 205



Though myself and a few others have been having MINOR difficulties removing Zaino Z2pro or Z5pro, there isn't a new formula, officially. According to Zaino, nothing has changed. Still Zaino is an excellent product and has amazing durability. To answer the inevitable question of which ones to get because there are so many and its confusing.... this kit: http://www.zainostore.com/Merchant2/...ct_Code=ZKIT-1



You're also gonna need proper washing and drying habits. Start washing with the 2 bucket method with a quality mitt. Also drying the car with quality microfiber towels. And caring for your microfiber towels properly.
