Wah and dry your car thoroughly, then apply the wax in a dust free location (like a garage); wait about 5-10 minutes then wipe it off. I do not do anything else beforehand. You really only need to wax your vehicle every 6 months, but if you want to do it every 4 months you can.

This particular product is part of a 3 step system. The clay removes unwanted debri and is a good first step prior to any waxing. If you only want two steps (clay and wax), buy the mothers brazilian cleaner wax. Otherwise buy all 3 steps to use after the clay. This will make the car look as good as physically possible. The stuff really works! My car is like a mirror.

I apply this once a week, and again two or three days later. At the end of 7 days I clean off and start again. Sometimes I apply a nail color over the Mavala Nail Shield, but I like the natural look.

I believe they used to label this as a three step process with each different product marked with a number. The Ultimate Compound is designed to remove dirt/grime and paint blemishes and the polish provides the protection layer and then a wax over gives the lasting finish. I have used the three step process for years and love the results. It is a long process but the finish holds very well.

As the other commenter said...buy it in gallons so you don't waste some from an entire 5 gallons of it. What you'll have to make sure of is that if you do only half now...when you do the other half...make sure you really clean the surface again so there is no problem with the 2nd batch adhering to both the original surface and the previously applied surface. Making sure the roof is really clean is key to making the project successful. When you are ready to begin...be sure to review the posts from others who have already used this product so you know what to do...and what not to do. Good luck!

You don't need two, just do it in two batches. Probably want to change the acetone out between cleanings.

Hi Alicia!I put 2 coats of this polish on and would re-apply every 2-3 days.

Get one that has little to no fuzz. You won't be able to use it on the first coat. You need the brush to get intothe cracks, crevices, etc. Second/third coat--roller was great. Got a very smooth covering with no drip marks.

A little definitely goes a long way with the sealer. A couple quick sprays directly on the lens will make a huge difference. I typically do mine every couple weeks or so, just to keep the lenses looking as clear as possible. But, that's really your individual preference. Depending on the weather, how often you wash your vehicle, etc...results will surely vary. I'd say, you'd get a good six-eight weeks out of one application, before it starts yellowing. Again, I apply mine every couple of weeks, though. So, this is just my own personal result/pattern. This stuff makes a world of difference, I promise you that!

This is the final step, just make sure your car is clean first (remove tar, bugs, dirt etc). This is a great product it really leaves a good shine and slick surface. I have notice it is much easier to remove dirt when washing after applying this sealant.

This would be a paint cleanser clay removes all the contamination from the paint. Depending on what you're trying to achieve you could either use a 1 step polish then wax. If you want more correction you can compound, then polish, then wax. Always start with the least aggressive first and see if you're happy with the results.

We regularly waxed the oak floors in a house occupied by 4 graduate students. When we returned for a visit every 3 to 4 months, my wife usually polished the floor but she didn't always have to rewax. So I would say you might get a half year on one application, but it depends on usage and care taken between waxings. If vacuuming or wet wiping is done regularly so that the floor doesn't get too dirty, you will get more mileage out of one waxing.

I'm not sure if I understand the question, but I believe the answer is no. The directions state that the surface needs to be clean and dry and free of waxing or coatings. I take that to mean that all previous sealents need to be removed. I hope that helps.

I agree with Laura. However, the only time I've had the little dots is when I applied to much. This is the best product there is and use it to first CLEAN, like she mentioned, and then apply a coat of wax. The tacky part, I've never experienced. I could imagine a situation though where there was another product already on there - not newly applied, I mean still on the paint. This is polish - it moves paint, is how I like to think of it.

we're doing ours in full sun and in sections for the same reason. I will caution you, watch the youtube videos before you begin. I'm finding it's a lot more difficult to get this stuff on evenly....we plan to do a third coat. If you decide to go ahead with using the product, be sure to mix it as well as you can and cover anything you don't want splattered. it may be a good product when it's all done and said, but if I knew then, what I know now, I would have just recovered with a different stain product.

Since we had our label printed we've found that mixing Pure Clay with vinegar helps even out the pH of the mask so it isn't as drying. (Our soon-to-be-released new run of product will have more instructions on the label) That means you can use it as often as you like without any drying effects. In our research we've seen people drink anywhere from one to four ounces of prepared clay water daily. We advise that you start with a small dose (like one Tablespoon) each day and work up from there, adding another Tablespoon a week later, etc. Drink lots of water. Listen to your body; it will tell you what it likes. We appreciate the question!

It will have to be a trial and error process I'm sure. I put on two thin coats and let it sit for twenty minutes. Then I rinse it off and do it a second time the same way. Sometimes, depending on the type of glass, I may have to apply a third time (but this is very rare). I like a heavier etch, however. For a light etch, one time is plenty.
