What did you do to your Ultimate Jeep today - 2012

During lunch instead of eating decided to give the XK a nice wash/wax, she looks so sexy when she's clean

How long of a lunch break do you get??? Wash/wax is a 4 hour job for me.

[06JeepXKHEMI]

HA! No set time since Im self employed, but usually wash and wax combo with out waxing roof takes 45 mins or so

Edit: Thats a quick wash and wax, so no windows, wheel wells and detailed stuff, just essentials cleaned and waxed

I must be doing something wrong....

Next time make a time accelerated video!

Honestly its all in the type of wax you use, I use Meguiars Gold Class, Mothers California on a regular basis as these are easy on easy off waxes. Now when you use ones like Zymol, which is awesome and other "cleaner" waxes it takes a lot more to apply and remove. I use cleaner waxes every quarter, this will remove most of your "fallout" and surface rust, which appears only on white, AND most of the time depending on where you park, how often you clean etc will lessen the need to clar bar.

I use Mothers Synwax (liquid). Goes on/off easy... I do it all by hand though.

Never clay barred...

Ok, I did it by hand today to, with my orbital I could do it even faster but again thisis for a quick wax. When I do a detail with the orbital I will literally take 5-10 minutes a panel. I have an old school 18lbs orbital that with the right wax/polish/glaze even can remove swirls and light scratches.
I also wax the entire vehicle in the shade or in garage before removing so that by the time you are done you can start removing and everything will be dry. Also, dont go in circular motion this causes swirls, go the direction the panel was painted, mostly front to back. With these "quick" waxes there is no need to push hard or keep going over where you already applied, I just shoot throw it.

Bought a new tire today because I had a cut in my rear driver side. I'm not sure how I got it. No pictures, because it doesn't look any different, lol.
