Curious if anyone else has tried Renascence Wax a very pure hard drying wax used by the British Museum and others for fine collectibles. I use it on knives and it is amazing and never yellows.

Obviously you wouldn't want to use the rubbing compound for basic cleaning purposes (swirl marks), but the polish or glaze should suit you well when used in a side-to-side motion. Best, Kevin
this is very useful

As a car detail enthusiast; I would recommend Modesta Protective Coatings.



Once all swirl marks have been removed, apply Modesta P-01a primer with BC-05 coating for a lush super high-gloss protective coating that won't swirl again with wiping.

You will need some compounds, polisher, tape, towels and pads.



Its quite involved, but the high level process:

1. Clay bar and Eraser. Removes damaging embedded contaminants (including Wax) that washing & polishing can't
2. Cut. Use a Cutting Compound with 4" Pad. This will level out any marks. Level of pad will depend on how bad the paintwork is. Assuming previous care has been taken, then only light cutting pad will be required.
3. Polish. Use a Polishing Compound with 4" Pad. This will smooth out the paint surface giving a flawless finish. Again, only a light polishing pad should be required.

Many videos on this https://youtu.be/WN-CCLWcN1s

Once this has been done then you would be ready to start the Modesta process.

As for product brands.

Polisher - Rupes, Flex or Concours are very common
Compounds - I use 3D Products. HD Cut and HD Polish for a two step and HD Speed for a 1 step (Cut/Polish).
Pads - 3D Products or Scholl.
Clay - Any brand will do.

You can generally pickup a kit with all the products required from most Car Detailing websites.

I applied Blackfire BlackIce Hybrid Montan sealant on my Yvettes. I couldn't be happier with the results. The finish has a beautiful deep luster and is easy to dust off with a microfiber cloth.

I use this stuff on my car and thought, why not try it on my speakers. Very impressive.
