Black Car Tropicare users im on the website, im looking at purchasing some products from them.
after searching through the previous threads i now understand that the Lakewood washing pad is the best to get for washing
now im looking at the polishes and waxes.
right now i have the tc-3 selected as a polish, wondering if thats what i should be getting
now for was, im looking at the paste wax, and the standard carnauba wax. which one is better, and why?

Polish = Abrasive formula to reduce/remove scratches and swirl marks in the paint.
Sealant = Provide gloss and protection.
Wax = Provides deep, "wet" look and adds protection to the sealant.
Polish out the imperfections, seal in your hard work, then wax it for show.
In other words: TC-8 (or more abrasive, if necessary), TC-3, then either liquid or carnauba wax for high gloss.

Sealants typically need a clean paint surface for it to properly bond. If placed over something else like a wax it won't last long. You can however layer it over a previous application of a sealant. FWIW you don't need to apply both a wax and a sealant. They both essentially do the same thing, although some like to layer different products. A sealant is a wax, its just a synthetic wax. But if you want to do both, the sealant goes first.

That pretty much sums it up. Get the paint nice and clean, add the TC3 polish and a nice coat of wax for great protection. Where are you in Houston? I'm in Richmond and stock most of the products.
