McKee's Jeweling Wax application question for show car

[BadgerRivFan]

Mike (and other fellow forum members):

I have a 1964 Buick Riviera which is strictly a garage queen/show car that I show at Concours d'Elegance events around the country. Over this past winter, I completed a two-step paint correction and topped it off with Wolfgang Fuzion as my LSP. The car looks terrific (if I do say so myself ).

After seeing the outstanding results on a few of the Competition Ready cars using McKee's Jeweling Wax, I decided to pick up a bottle during one of the recent sales and give it a try. This leads me to my question...

As my paint is already corrected and protected, do I need to "remove" the Fuzion wax currently on the car before using the Jeweling wax? Or, is it o.k. to go ahead and just use the jeweling wax (which will effectively "remove" the Fuzion) on the car? Lastly, I love the look of Fuzion on this particular car and am hoping I can top the Jeweling wax with Fuzion to give the car that little bit of extra "wow" factor. Does that sound like it would be a good choice?



Interested in any and all comments... thanks!

McKee's 37 is a cleaner wax, with very very mild abrasives. Therefore it will remove most of whatever the current LSP is. With that said, if your car is free from swirls and scratches, I do not think Mckee's is going to give any better shine than Fuzion. Fuzion is one of the best looking waxes many of us have used. It leaves an incredible shine. I personally would not bother with Mckee's 37 if I already have Fuzion on the car. Id just add more fuzion!

I'm sorry....but I could not possibly provide any feedback without seeing some pics of the car.....just kidding...I've really no idea how to answer your question....I just want to see pics of the car.....love those 60's era Rivieras

Very rare rose metallic color... "Coral Mist." Factory 2x4 bbl. too!

Jaret's correct.

The McKee's 37 contains an ultra fine abrasive so it will remove any previously applied Fuzion.

He's also right that it's pretty hard to top the results from Fuzion.

One option would be to first machine apply the McKee's 37 Jeweling Wax and then top it with the Fuzion.

Why?

Nothing looks as glossy as a freshly polished and waxed paint job. Over time, even the surface of a garage queen can be diminished in a number of ways. By machine polishing with the McKee's Jeweling wax you'll remove any minor imperfections like toweling marks and the old wax and any dust or film build-up.

You'll maximize gloss and clarity.

Great tip (again), Mike!!!

Awesome....don't think I've ever seen one that color.....to correct my earlier post....only first generation Rivieras......did not care for the redesign in 1966.....this car always seemed ahead of it's time to me....seriously classy ride

Yay, I was right! But Mike was even more righter! I shoulda thought about his recommendation. But thats why they pay him the big bucks and I get paid absolutely nothing!

His advice is spot on. If you are to use Mckee's 37, top it with Fuzion,that is going to be a winner!
