You need to apply either sealant (synthetic wax) or wax (carnauba wax) to protect the paint from sun's harmful UV rays, aside from making your car look good and slick.

Yes, Mother's Step 3 is carnauba wax. May description naman sa label yan, i.e. Mothers® California Gold® Pure Brazilian Carnauba Wax–Step 3.

Hello everyone!

Just to add, your basic maintenance will always be washing, having said that don't let any dirt or any contaminant sit on top of your paint for several weeks baked under the sun. If your washing schedule is once a week, and for an unfortunate reason that your car becomes full of dirt, have your wash earlier than your schedule, to prevent it from leaving a mark on your paint. Paint protection will always have limitations, so best prevention really is regularly washing and properly doing that on top of your paint protection regimen. Hope this helps.

This just me. No need to buy all those stuff. Just wash it with water regularly, and it will still look shiny after 10 years. Yung obsession to keep your car looking always brand new car, lilipas din yan after a few months.

I bet that 90% of all those waxes and stuff for a brand new car are mostly sitting in their garages 80% consumed and already expired. Just like the cosmetics drawer of most ladies.

not really. being shiny is subjective. you can say its shiny but its looking dull. washing just by water alone is not enough. theres no substitute to the shine of a well maintained and freshly waxed car. but that just me too...

but you're right. you grow over the urge to keep your car always looking new. and its difficult to maintain your car paint from the moment you bring it out from the dealership. but that depends again in your interest in detailing and your aim of keeping your car paint protected.

yup, i'm guilty of your last statement i was so engrossed before in buying all the waxes that i fancied and some ended up not being regularly used

Guilty of this one too, I had the urge to really have a slick and shiny ride before, pag my pumatak na tubig, wipe agad . When i got past that, looks becomes secondary to protecting my investment. Yung mga wax ko, display nalang since I got my paint coated.
I don't plan to use my ride for ten years, so the moment I want to sell my car, I dont have to spend a lot just to make it look in tip top condition, and still get a good price out of it.

This is mostly true because:

• You bought a lot of products to experiment on and find the best that suits your needs/taste. Eventually, you'll find a product that you like and will stick to, and will buy often. Products that don't meet your expectations will likely end up as backup products to polish your washing machine, ref, etc. Hehehe...
• You eventually learn how to apply waxes properly and minimize waste. At such point, it will take a long time to fully consume a bottle of LSP unless you're maintaining more than one ride. (i.e. hindi mo na inuubos ang kalahating bote ng liquid wax para ma wax ang buong sasakyan mo. )
• Once you've developed a good habit of maintaining your finish, your Step1 and Step2 products will not be used frequently. Eventually, they'll expire.
• You've developed a reputation as a car wax addict. As such, you'll be receiving a lot of car wax gifts for xmas, bday, etc. But the stuff you'll get are not car wax addict grade, so you'll just stash them in the 'cosmetics drawer'. Sometimes you'll give them away.

Kakaunti lang yung alam kong products na nag-o-offer ng tingi-tingi.

Turtle Wax and 3M offers waxes in sachets.
Mother's has a Clay set that comes with a small/sampler sized bottle of their cleaner-wax.

Since you have a brand new car, just get a carnauba based wax, any brand. Make sure it's pure wax and not cleaner-wax.
Make sure to wax once a month. Safe naman yan since pure wax ang gamit mo -- no abrasives.
With your brand new car finish, you won't find any problems with the shine.

What you need to watch out for is the equipment you use for washing, drying and buffing your car. Wrong choice and/or technique will cause very minor marring/scratches that you will only see when your vehicle is under direct strong light (such as a strong flash light or direct sunlight). They're called swirl-marks. IF you start seeing that, then you should review your washing + drying techniques. If you continue to ignore those swirls, they'll eventually accumulate and lead to a dull surface in maybe 2-3 years time.

I use turtle wax and dry spray. After washing and rinsing while still wet, spray the wax on to panel then wipe with clean micro fiber. One wipe and its dry. No water marks. That way swirl marks are minimized because you only wipe once or twice the surface.

You set first your priorities, is it looks or durable protection?
If you want durable protection first, get collinite 476 or Klasse twins.
But if you will prioritize looks, this will be very subjective and it depends on the color of your car. Like me, i have a dark colored car before, that time i prefered a somewhat deep shine or glow, for this i chose a high carnauba content wax. Mothers or megs will do or even collinte 845. Just remember that 85% of a car paint's shine will depend on how smooth or swirl free is your paint , a wax may just add 10-15% in looks.
Now if you want a reflective shimmering shine, go for sealants, this will give a candy coating shine, specially good for light colored vehicles.
Hope this helps
