Well, I thought I would finally try a wax on the Corvette. I ordered a kit from World's Best Wax to give a try. The kit included:
-Auto Shampoo Soap
-Surface Cleanse Paste
-WBW Connoisseur Wax (46% Carnuba)
-Refresher Spray
-2 Foam Applicator Pads
-2 Towels
I also ordered a Clay Bar separately.
Riley dropped on over and we got started.
I started with the Soap and gave the car a wash. It cleaned the paint very well.
After that, I rinsed, and used the Clay Bar to clean the pollutants and general "dirtiness" off of the car. It was amazing what the clay bar picked up. Spots on the paint that looked very clean left dark "dirt" on the clay bar.
Following the clay bar, I dried the car with a chamois. At this stage I applied the Surface Cleanse for the final cleaning of the car. it leaves the paint an impeccably spotless finish with no streaking or anything. It's as clean as the car has ever been since it was new.
The next step was simply applying the Wax itself. It was a very easy procedure. Dip the foam applicator in the wax, wipe it on in a back and forth motion over an area, wait for about a minute, then buff it off with a clean cloth. It polished very easily and quickly. I applied the wax while Riley followed behind and buffed.
We ended up doing 2 coats of wax. I'm not sure if there would be a huge benefit or not of doing a third. One thing I REALLY liked about this wax is that it left NO white on any black moulding pieces like other waxes I've seen. This is something that WBW claimed, and it was correct. We didn't have to be extra careful around those parts to avoid the white residue. Another thing is that the wax has a very nice scent to it.
In the end I am very happy with the result. It took about 2 hours from start to finish to clean and apply 2 coats.
I give World's Best Wax a big thumbs up. Their kit comes with everything you need to clean and wax your car, and the process was very easy and relaxing. It is nice knowing that the car has a layer of protection over the paint now. I will be waxing any new car I purchase in the future for this reason alone!!!
