Not sure if you're 100% but I'd ditch the butter wet wax as it's far from matching top coat to the Klasse Polish. Better options abound in the land of Carnauba Waxes. Just my opinion.

I'd bump the qty of orange pads to 5 or 6. White pads too. You can likely get away with 4-5.

Good luck. Looking forward to seeing the results.

Been using CG butter wet wax for a year now and love it. Not only do i use it on my personal cars but my customers cars and get great results. Easy on , easy off.

Alot of people don't like CG here.

I too love butter wet wax, as it's a big money maker for me, I apply it when the cars are wet, so I skip a step and make more money.

Not too mention it gives a awesome shine on the older neglected cars I do.

It however doesn't give you the best protection, and you can find something that lasts longer, then I would top it with butter wet wax to get that nice wet look

Just to clarify, it's not that I don't like CG. I actually use several of their products. My point is as you noted, Butter Wet Wax just doesn't last and IMO isn't of the same Caliber as the polish he's using. Collinite #915 comes to mind but perhaps that's just me.

I wasn't just referring to you, alot of people don't like chemical guys here.

I don't like there polishes.

But I think there cleaners,car soap, and waxes are pretty good.

I can certainly respect that many people on here may not like CG. That's cool.

What year?

Infinity made the huge mistake of trying to use self-healing paint for a few years and it's is one of the worst paint if not THE worst car paint ever invented.





pinnacle advanced swirl remover



If it's the self-healing paint the Pinnacle Advanced Swirl Remover will work but do some testing too. You might have to finish out with an even LESS aggressive product to get to perfection if it is in fact the self-healing paint.
