3M cleaner wax...

[BS87]

I had heard some good stuff about 3M cleaner wax here on these boards, and others, so i decided to pick up a bottle today. Cleaned and Dried the car. This wax (i got medium grade) claims to remove oxidation, swirls, etc. I put the wax on, and this is where it went down hill. It was a pain in the ass to get off, took a REALLY long time to get it all off and the haze it left.... And it did SHIT to the slight oxidation on my trunk & 3rd brake light and mirrors. Maybe i got a bad batch or something.

Are you sure you didnt get a bottle of 3M pre wax? Its swirl mark remover, itll make the paint dull, then go over it with a regular paste wax.

Nope, 3M cleaner wax, medium grade.

3M comes out a lot better with an orbital, by hand it's a real PITA.

[BS87]

Hell, if i had an orbital i'd be using Klasse.

Yeah, you'll spend an entire weekend using this by hand ask me how I know....but it is excellent stuff. In most cases, there's no need to use anything more abrasive.

It'll wipe oxidation right out...

Since when do you wax your car? (or wash it) ;)
