Hi Guys...

We all know the good waxes to use, like the meguiars gold class, but i was thinking more of the commercial deals where you dont have to wax for months...

Crystal car wash offers a full clean & wax for $325, and they reckon you wont have to wax the car for 14 months guaranteed.

This works out to about $23 per month to not wax the car and have a good look...bargain or not ??

Are there any other options out there ??

www.5starshine.com

www.formula113.com

www.splashgroup.co.uk

the list goes on..

Are these deals any good, just a con, or do they actually damage the paint ??

S100, Pinnacle Souverain or Clearkote Vanilla Moose are the best waxes to use. They give the deepest "wet look", but take a lot of maintenance (have to reapply every two months or so depending on what the car goes through)...

If you want durability, go for Zaino... It's a synthetic polish/wax and lasts for AGES and is extremely durable and hard wearing.

As Merli said, S100 is the best.

If you want good + easy to get then you can try Meguirs number 26 which is available at auto stores in a beige bottle with a 26 on it.

I haven't tried that but I have tried Meguirs gold class and found it to be pretty ordinary/average.

I havent seen any retail stores stocking S100 yet. Have you Merli?

Yes... I bought a tub from the Harley Davidson Dealer on Parramatta Rd, near Homebush...

I had to call them and get them to grab one from their warehouse before I went in... Make sure you get the WAX which comes in a tub, as they sell quite a few "S100" products.

Merli, where do you get Zaino? thanks

I don't think there's an Australian Distributor just yet... I was going to get my American friends to order some and send it to me, but haven't gotten around to it yet.

They have a singaporean distributor, and I'm sure they would be able to ship you some.

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
