do you detail gurus think this is a good product, iknow Fminus likes some of the CG product

Another thing, i think i may have asked this question, do we do a final carnauba wax before or after sealing the car?

jetseal the best out there?

AWESOME wax. Doesnt last too long, its more of a show wax.

Wax AFTER sealant.
JS is my favorite.

Remember in Detailing there is no "best", its all subjective

Fminus thanks for the input, let me ask you from one chino hills bimmer owner to another how often would i have to wax my car with 5050? it seems pretty inexpensive in comparison to other carnauba waxes like pinnacle or wolfganng or suissewax.

5050 does not last too long, I would say every 2 weeks? but make sure ever other month to start with a clean slate by removing the wax build up.

SV is nice, but overpriced. Pinnacle Souveran is very good too, but it doesnt last. WG doesnt make a paste or liquid wax.

what do you think of Natty's blue paste wax, i have read great reviews and also Carnuaba moose wax which ive heard will make my dark monaco blue pop out with a lot of the wet look

what do you think?

Skip the nattys blue. Only good thing about it is that you can apply in the sun

Do you use the Pinnacle Souveran Paste or Wax? Would the Jet Seal be a viable altenative? This would be for a black and monaco blue car. Thanks

I would like my car to shine like the cars you detail My fist priority is that fantastic shine. I would preferably like something that last a few months but I love that wet glossy look.
