I use Nu-Finish which was #1 rated by a well known consumer reporting magazine several years ago. I technically is not a wax though.

"The reccomendation is to buy one that says ORBITAL on the box so you can *not* mess up your paint. Is this correct?" Yep, Orbital and DA polishers are pretty safe. Pro's use a rotory because they're fast, but it's real easy to burn the paint with those so they're not recommended for amatures. As far as I know, anything you rub on or off by any means will leave a marks, either swirls or side to side. I use a DA to apply the wax, and remove by hand. I try to do it twice a year, but have been falling behind with it since I got old and tired...and don't give a 'sh' anymore.

Car wax to seal stone counters vs. "real" sealers

I would wonder about food safety also with using car wax. We're getting our granite countertops in 8.5 days (not that I have a countdown or anything! ;-P ). The stoneyard/fabricator will apply a long lasting sealant as part of the deal. A "real" sealant seems like a low price to pay for protecting your rather expensive countertop.

Liquid soap chemistry

I'm well convinced of the effectiveness of a clay bar. A friend showed me his car half way through clay barring it, so there was before and after on the same car. Amazing! I immediately ordered a Meguiar clay bar kit along with their NTX 2.0 wax. I can try the baby shampoo on half the car and car soap on the other half and see how the water beads up between washings. I'll start with a shampoo dilution of 1 part shampoo to 2 parts water and use that in the foam gun. Does anyone else have a specific knowledge of the chemistry and could help with this?

Is Rain X or Car Wax the better choice for stainless steel sinks?
Q
Comments (25)
MOST of the stainless sinks I see people getting, on these forums, are the newer "brushed" finishes, and those sinks really don't even have a shine. You'd really have to work at it to get Comet or Ajax to dull those finishes, but I suppose it could be done. I have had a smooth-finish stainless sink for many many years, and occasionally did resort to Comet for a good cleaning. I never had any dulling or scratching, ever. I switched to BKF liquid a few years ago just because it's more convenient. I just replaced my old sink with a new SS one, again, a smooth polished finish - not the brushed. I will be using the same cleaner as I have in the past. As far as water spots - jeeez. I can't believe anyone would be concerned with water spots in a sink. Oy!!

Probably Mothers Reflection for clear coat. For classic do it often, a carnuba wax by any of the well knows.

Here is a link that might be useful: Mothers car care.

Interesting. I had replied to this post earlier, and that earlier post has vanished!! I second the Mothers products!! Love them, espcially their vinyl cleaner.

If the thread stays alive long enough, every brand and type made will be listed here as 'the best'. Best car brand, best motor oil, best tire, best wax, ect., all hot topics that everyone has an opinion on.

I like this. Only place that I can find it locally is at auto paint supply stores.

Hands down the best product used by professionals for the ultimate auto polish is..... LIQUID GLASS!

It's safe for clear coats too!
