Need opinions of QEW with Wax mix

Hi, today I was talking to the parking attendant (he works part time detailing new cars before they go out to customers). I showed him a big old gallon of QEW. He said I dunno, so I told him pick out a car in the garage that is dirty and I wash it and show u.



So he picks out a black infiniti that he knows the parker won't be mad if he sees a clean car (Normal people would love that but I know you autopians would go WTF, who cleaned my car, LOL). He also said if it does what you think it does then the parker won't mind. So i did my thing, 30 mins later I was done. Car look clean but need polish and rewax the works. I not going to do that. That is too much work.



So he says that the stuff doesn't have any wax or something to make it shinner. I said yeah but you can mix it with wax. (he a dealer guy, as long as it looks good now I guess it good enough). So I told him thursday I wash my car in the garage and show him the difference. Now this is where you guys come in. What you guys recommend to mix with QEW to make it nicer? I read and did searches but didn't get a clear list of wats good to mix. I would prefer something cheaper and easy to find in the stores. I was thinking of NXT but I don't know if that will mix well. Thanks
 
Just a thought...



How about Eagle One Wax-As-U-Dry? Some (including myself) have found that it makes a pretty good QD. Why not try adding to your QEW wash?



Relatively cheap and it's intended use is on a wet car anyway. Might be interesting...
 
I would second that idea maecrispy. WAUD is an awesome product.

I've heard of a few people on here mixing QD's with it, not sure about wax though.
 
Why would you say yeah, just mix wax in with the QEW if you are not 100% sure?? Thats a quick way to look like a goose if you cant back up what you have promised.

Under promise and over deliver!



Having said that, I think Scottwax adds Mothers Showtime QD to the QEW. Someone else may be able to eloborate further though....

Hmm I am not really looking to experiment. I keep that in mind. Anybody did this yet?

I mixed QEW before another time with mothers and it came out good and another time with BOS. Just wanted to know what you guys are doing. Also read some threads with mixing other products like Zanio, etc. So i know it is definiately do able when I said it. I didn't experiment enough though to know what is the "best" or "better". I never used WAUD or NXT so that is Y didn't really want to try that the first time to show him if any adverse effects come from it. I am looking to deliver more than what I promised. Sorry I forgot to post tat yes I did it before.
 
to be safe wash each panel with qew then spray a panel with waud and dry off with a waffle weave in one hand buff towel in the other should look good ,triedtry it on my wifes blue 87 tercel:up

this way you dont compromis the integrity of each product.griots says add and oz or two of their liquid carnauba wax to a bucket of wash soap
 
Showtime / Quikshine....I was close. Its been a long day in the office! lol



How much to add? - do a search! But IIRC its a capful of each to a bucket of water...

Should I just give all my money to pakshak. lol, so your tip is to mix with a QD? How much do you put in compared to wash water?

I add an ounce to the QEW bucket if the car hasn't been waxed in a while, otherwise either half an ounce or none (if the car has been very recently waxed).
 
I believe Scottwax also mentioned a tip to add your leftover 1st edition Wolfgang qd to the QEW in a post. For once he didn't have pictures, just said "Trust me."

(hands up)



Ok, ok... I was under the impression that fusionnv was willing to experiment. No need to get excited. Please note that I didn't *promise* anything. It was just a suggestion.



I don't believe that being 100% sure is a requirement for posting. Otherwise, there would be a lot fewer posts. I personally welcome thoughts and advice from others and don't require that their assertions are 100% correct.



I'm realtively new to this business but I love to experiment and I was under the impression that autopians had the same attitude.



So, to give a suggestion I am 100% sure about, 0.5 oz. of Z-6 in my 2 gallon QEW wash bucket is what I use most of the time.



I have not tried WG's QD in the same manner but I will soon!



:rolleyes:

I am willing right now to experiment where somebody else did it before. For me that would be experiment, but I been on other boards where people posted yeah mix this and tat, because they heard it from somebody's friends dad and that a secret tip from long ago. It ended up mixture was wrong or it just didn't work out. Like pam spray on the rims. That was a funny post.

But if you guys posted that I did it with Meg QD and say that Mothers QD will work also but haven't tried that

:up for me to try. Just need a bit of guidance from first hand experiences.
 
This is just my 2 cents but, wouldn't it be better if a QD had a little shine factor and more ability to remove blemishes, and road film. After all that's the purpose of a QD. No?
 
I was thinking about this last night. Protect-All has a spray wax that they make. You can find it in Wal-Mart in the RV area.

It might be worth checking out. I'm sure that using it like a QD with your QEW might give the easy shine that you want.

I tried tat in a free sample. It was not fun to use at all. I dunno if there is a difference between the free sample sponge or the spray. The spray is probably better to use but who knows.
