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.

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...

old paint or new? does it have a clear coat?

well not a new paint really

its on my 96y discovery metallic green

dont know if its got a clear coat of not but the polish suits all paint types including clear coat

The only reason I ask is because I have a java black disco and if you dont use the right pads on a dark car you see all the swirl marks in the sun I use Meguires Scratch X

then once complete use a decent quality wax (applied by hand will be fine)and it'll look like new.

Be aware using an electric buffer on metallics or mica. A proffessional detailer told me never to use one on these paints as it can leave swirl marks. A bit of elbow grease gives a safer better result.

Polish, polish a landy ? you guys got too much time on your hands, i have never polished a vehicle and never will - except for my FC holden that is.
