Soda, ugh!

[Pumpkinfish]

Like a clutz I just dropped a can of soda in my garage and needless to say it exploded all over the Mustang and daily driver. I blotted up the soda immediately but I am wondering if I need to rewax? The soda did bead up very nicely, lol! In this 100+ degree weather here in Philly I am not looking forward to washing two cars tonight let alone re-wax if it is necessary.

 

[Seer]

Carnauba wax or sealant?

Either way, unless the soda dried and water spotted you should be more than fine. No need to re-wax.

It takes soda almost 7 hours to begin reacting and "Eating" away at organic substances.

 

[Pumpkinfish]

Both cars have Meguire's Yellow #26 over NXT 2.0.

 

[Seer]

NXT is a synthetic sealant.
#26 Yellow is a hybrid synthetic/carnauba.

A little bit of soda did not get through

 

[Pumpkinfish]

Good to know. I am still trying to decide what I want to use next on the cars. I really liek the way the carnauba looks in the sunlight.

You ought to try Collinite 845 or Poorboys Liquid Nattys Blue. The Collinite is more like a hybrid wax/sealant. Poorboy's may have a wetter look, but the collinite will certainly last longer as far as durability goes.

Give me a call here @ Lethal if you have any questions I can answer for you.

A full repaint is required.

^lol. get the touch up marker.

You do realize meguiars #26 is also a hybrid wax/sealant right? It's a carnauba/synthetic blend.

Where Colinite has good durability, #26 isn't to far behind it, plus it has a much more attractive looking appearance.

I recommend Macco!

#845 will outlast M26 by a long shot. This is coming from years of comparing LSP's.

Everyone's certainly entitled to their own opinion, but #845 has been my DD go to for quite some time. Hey, find what works for you, and use it often.

Megs #26 has been known to last for up to 3-4 months. It's a hybrid just like #845.

#26's appearance has also been accepted by many to look a lot nicer than the stale Collinite #845.

I personally don't use either, I use AQuartz and Zymol Vintage, but you're doing a decent bit of misinformation in a lot of these threads, pushing products your vendor sells.

More power to you, but its blatantly obvious. The OP asked if he needed to rewax his car because he spilled soda on it.

He wasn't looking for a sales pitch.

 

[John@Lethal]

Check back in my original response to his quote. He was looking for a recommendation, and I provided one to him, along with anything else he might have a question with. The fact we sell it is irrelevant, I would suggest the same thing whether or not it's on our shelves.

I don't think anything I have mentioned has ever been wrong. 9 times out of 10, suggestions are opinion based. I also have the background to be making these recommendations. If you want to discuss any of that in private, PM me. No reason to get this thread off topic.

OP stated he likes the looks of a carnauba...so you recommended him a stale looking collinite.

#845 has been known for years to mute colors and lessen the appearance of metalics. A far cry from a wet/deep/jetted carnauba wax.

#845 usually gets winter duty since it protects well against road salt...

Your recommendation seems way off base. You can PM me instead if you don't like my counter reference.

Edit: Don't look at this as me attacking you guys at Lethal, but at least read what the OP is saying in his questions.

My Dad swears by Collinite for his Blazer and my Mom's Altima. I really don't like how it looks. He always says how my cars with the Yellow #26 look so much better.

A full repaint is required.

After being a daily driver for the first three years of the cars life the repaint is probably the best thing I could do at this point.

Seer at some point I did mention that I wanted to try another wax, but I want to try a high(er) end carnauba. When I went to detail my cars, it was on a short time frame due to my wife's coworker lending me his PC 7424 and I had to use what was on the shelf of my local auto stores to get the machine back to him. Hence the reason I used what I did. I felt it was a reasonable trade off plus I got to do a real detail with a PC. Now that my paint is in good shape, I can get back to the hand applications and experiment with better waxes. I was thinking of maybe a DoDo Juice product or P21s 100%.

 

[NastyStang113]

No problem. Just wash both of them off and you'll be good to go.

I have to agree with Seer here... Collinite #845 is quite less desirable in the appearance department. I don't think anyone would doubt it's durability. I mean it's an insulator wax to prevent flash fires in high voltage lines in it's true purpose. It does not offer the same kind of appearance as a carnuba or even a carnuba like Meguiars #26. Not to mention there are so many products much better than #845 and even Poorboy's Natty's Blue.

I don't ever like recommending a LSP without first asking the OP how much they are willing to spend on that LSP? So with that said, how much do you want to spend on the LSP?

Still don't see the injustice or the misinformation. When it comes down to wax, it's mostly an opinion. Some people love the wet look of 845, and some people just don't see it. I think I'll just leave this as agree to disagree.

hence why the kabaash on collinite. It's a great protection wax heading into the winter months but if you're trying to turn heads at a car show... ya.

I am assuming by asking about those waxes your price point is around $50?

Dodo Juice makes some great products and P21S 100% is a great bang for your buck. Both are terrific $50 waxes. Adam's Americana is another good $50 wax to consider.

Supernatural is a great wax, and you can try it in different sizes before going with the full sized pot. Of course, one of the higher end waxes like Fuzion would be perfect on some of the darker colors. That's also available in a sample size for around $50

 

[NastyStang113]

I will also add that Adam's Americana is an amazing wax for how much it is. I actually got my Americana from Seer. It's better than some $100+ waxes that I've tried. I'm always looking for something better though. Once you start you'll find that it's a disease that you can't stop!

Seer what do you think looks better? Americana or Fuzion?
