So, I have a pretty religious schedule of car detailing, and once a month my wife's car and mine both get a full wash, dry, wax, headlight cleaning, and wheel cleaning treatment. I used to use Nufinish liquid wax but swithched to Mother's Synwax which seems to be doing an excellent job thus far. The cars look great when they are done but I'm almost wondering if I am overkilling it with the synthetic wax instead of the caranuba. Naturally, I love a shiny car so the idea of using caranuba sounds appealing to me as I have heard that it is much shinier than synthetic wax. The only reason I have used synthetic thus far is because I live in Seattle where it rains all the time . When I first got into detailing I used FM1 spray wax and it looked great but was no match for Seattle's weather. Would I be better served by caranuba if I wax once a month? Also, winter is coming up and I was wondering if I should use a paint sealant of some kind?
Lastly, I clay barred my Jag in preparation for the winter a week or so ago and it seemed to work just fine but man what a pain in the @$$... My car is dripping with chrome trim and has lines and seams everywhere so the bar was kind of difficult to use. Could I get the same effect by using some kind of pre-wax liquid polish instead?
