Thread: Phantom Blue (wax)

  1. Default Phantom Blue (wax)

    SO I have a 2008 Mazda 3 in Phantom blue.

    I have been using meiguars NXT wax (paste). It does an average job, but I after something 'better'.

    I have been recommended to 'clay bar it', followed by Banana Gloss topped with OCW.
    Will this work ?

    The paint has a very nice metallic flake in it and I dont want to dull it at all.

    I don't want to spend a lot on it.

    Thanks for your help.

    I use the Meguiar's Quik Clay Detailing System with some great, smooth results. I have yet to try the banana gloss but it is something I will be trying in the future.

    Check out these threads for some great results Got Gloss and Clay Bar & Banana gloss

    With great power comes great fuel consumption...

    Thanks.

    So I would do the Banana gloss first then followed by OCW?

    Also I have been told that Carnauba wax may/will hide the flick/flake in the metallic paint is this true.

    That is the correct order.

    I have also heard that some products can dull the metallic flake. This may be the case for some cheap OTC products. I am yet to witness or get any feeback regarding this effect from any of our products though. If anything, they enhance the flake.
