POLISH AND WAX:
MULTIPLE-STEP PRODUCTS
ULTIMATE WAX SYSTEM:
PHASE 1 • PHASE 2 • PHASE 3
Instead of an all-in-one product trying to do multiple jobs, Mothers® has engineered three individual products to address three distinct facets of paint care.
With the Ultimate Wax System® you decide what your paint needs—and when it needs it.
Does your paint have minor oxidation, scratches and imperfections? Pre-Wax Cleaner is the perfect surface prep treatment.
Need extra depth and luster? Sealer & Glaze is formulated to give your vehicle that elusive, show-quality “wet look.”
Want to wax without polishing? Pure Carnauba Wax is pristine and pure, with no added polishes or cleaners.
Best yet, Mothers® Ultimate Wax System® is absolutely safe for all paints, including clearcoats.

See How it Works!
Ultimate Wax System® Illustrated

California Gold®
Pre-Wax Cleaner–Step 1
This is the foundation of the Ultimate Wax System®, preparing your paint for Sealer & Glaze and Pure Carnauba Wax. Pre-Wax Cleaner removes oxidized paint,
old wax buildup and other contaminants, cleaning and shining your paint. This mild polish smoothes the edges of larger imperfections and removes small scratches.
Your paint’s appearance is dependent on a good polishing—Mothers® Pre-Wax Cleaner
should be used at least once or twice a year.

California Gold®
Sealer & Glaze–Step 2
Regular application of Mothers® Sealer & Glaze will increase your paint’s depth and luster.
Whatever the color, it will give your paint added character and a brilliant, glowing shine. Sealer & Glaze fills and hides minor swirls and defects, minimizing unsightly visual imperfections.
It also contains a super-fine polish that further improves the paint surface.
Sealer and Glaze is key to giving both light and dark colors their perfect finish.

CALIFORNIA GOLD®
NATURAL FORMULA
PURE CARNAUBA WAX – PHASE 3California Gold®
Pure Carnauba Wax–Step 3
This is the final step on the path to a beautiful finish. Mothers® Pure Carnauba Wax is made with the finest Brazilian #1 yellow carnauba for superior shine and protection.
It is non-abrasive, so use it as often as you like. You can apply more than one coat to keep your efforts well protected.
For unsurpassed shine, depth and protection, trust Mothers® Ultimate Wax System®.

You'll love how it all turns out...

And do it by hand using the correct pads and cloths and it will look fantastic..... I used it on the last 3 Landies and all the streeters...

lou, I use auto glym. Its a bit pricey but worth it. Works a treat.
As said above, 1 panel at a time, hand buff, cool day - no direct sun.
Its british too BTW so your Landy will feel at home having it rubbed in all over her.

Cheers

I don't know if you can still get it here in Australia, but the guys who re-painted my Alfa swear by it. I managed to get a couple of bottles which I am guarding closley. From what I understand, it is one of those products that was highly effective but considered too toxic to remain on sale here.

I was just down at repco & bought an autoglym kit, Wash, polish, plastic care & Mag cleaner with cloths, buff pads etc for $30.00. Last one on the shelf - but probably available in your area still. Excellent value I normally pay about $20 just for the wash.

I, like Mike above, use meguirs but only on my ute. Stunning results but a hard days labour (of love of course). Even worse when the judge says can you do it again before finals. Thaaaaaaanks Owen.

Anyway the autoglyms fine for my everyday drive. I just do it more regularly for minds sake.

HTH. Cheers

hi camo i got mine from supercrap kinda like a 9" angle grinder but with an adjuster for the speed, about $130 if i remember right.
if thats the one your talking about then yes they're very good for buffing.
slowest speed possible and PLENTY of water as your going. make sure you buy the right type of buffing pad for your type of paint ( 2pack, acrylic..) as it makes all the difference.

hey lou.....if youre still not sure what to use....ive got a few different types here......
and plenty of polishing cloths.......and even a buffer.......

if you want to try them out.......i can leave lurch for you to test them on.....

he is due for a bit of a wax.......(no...not that type of wax.....hes not greek.....only i am....)

the more it gets waxed...the less minor scratches you collect out in the scrub.......

lou,
after marrying into the family that were the sole australian importers of autoglym forever,i would suggest if the paint is in better than heavily oxidised condition, use the super resin polish on the paintwork and bullbar if it is powder coated. the plastic bits can all be done with the autoglym bumber care, it's a green gel that will do all of your dash, doors, eyebrows etc. then you can use instant tyre sheen to do your tyres, this will bring them up nice and black. it's not a tyre-black paint type thing, it's a milky white spray-on liquid that you wipe around the tyre, it's good for mudflaps as well. they also have a metal polish and a glass polish if required. the glass polish is great for getting built up road dirt and cicada **** off your screen.
hope this helps
