So may I ask what soap are you using?Obsolete? Hogwash! I wax my car only twice a year with plain old Turtle Wax. Looks fantastic, and has a better shine than sealant or that ceramic stuff. The key is to use good soap that doesn't strip the wax off when you wash, and use soft cleaning tools that don't scratch the heck out of your paint.
Wax will never be completely obsolete.
How do you have the GF help? All I do is clean and wax wife's car and she makes it dirty :(Here's mine with power lock sealant, & 2 layers of collinite 845. (The gfs putting the last layer on)
I may try this one. The purple Shine Armor SUCKS.Well, I've been a Turtle Wax fan forever. However, I thought I'd try something new this week. It's called Shine Armor. But this one has the Carnuba wax in it. I'm actually quite impressed at how easy it is to put on. We'll see how long it lasts.

That's kind of why I did try this, instead of regular purple stuff. Apparently, it's the same formulation with some carnuba added. I've always been a wax fan, so why not try it. All I can say, is it goes extremely easy, and the shine pretty comparable to Turtle Wax.I may try this one. The purple Shine Armor SUCKS.
RainX wash. Green stuff in a bottle at Walmart.So may I ask what soap are you using?
I use Blackfire as well - very happy with it.I’ve thought about it, but there’s enough drawbacks that I’ve stuck to sealants and waxes. I use Blackfire Wet Diamond (will go to Powerlock when the bottle is gone) topped with 845. Beadmaker to dry after every wash and I don’t touch the car between washes.
Would you mind sharing what kind of buffer that is in the photo? Looks pretty nice! Nice looking Mustang by the way! ;-)I have been using ceramic based spray coatings for the last couple of years. They are so much easier to apply, give excellent gloss and exceptional water repelling quality.
However, last month I decided to give an old favorite another go. Collinite 845.
This stuff is very durable and really gives the paint a warm glow.
