Jeweling wax?

[Farmallluvr]

Jeweling wax is a term I never heard of until I came here and to be honest I am not really sure what it means.
I've gathered it's a final step used to give depth and gloss but I have always just added another coat afterward to help that.
Is it something mainly used on show cars,hot rods exotics and such?
I work mainly production reconditioning at a GM dealer and I rarely see an SS Camaro or a Corvette but wouldn't mind something special for them when I do see them.
I generally use Meguiers gold class or Car Brite Weather Shield.

I am also guessing it's probably not something I want to use on run of the mill Chevy Cruzes ,Malibu's or cars of that sort and 100,000 mile trucks (which I see alot of)
we do sell Buicks so maybe I would use it on them to?
I apoligize if I missed a post that already covered this.

Since I coined the term and wrote the definition, I'll add this...


Jeweling Wax - Definition


This is the paragraph in the above article I linked to that I think explains why a true jeweling wax is different than the thousands of AIOs or cleaner/waxes on the market.

A high quality jeweling wax is too good to be lumped into the cleaner/wax category already populated with hundreds of cleaner/wax options ranging from the extreme spectrum of mediocre to very good.

I know of a lot of cleaner/waxes on the market, Nu-Finish for example is a cleaner/wax. But Nu-Finish will not create a show car finish like a true jeweling wax.

See the difference? It has to do primarily with the abrasive technology used.... or in the case of some products.... not used....

thaks Mike,I read through the link and plus a couple more,,one on production detailing.
I can get through a car fairly quick when I need to but I do not like to sacrifice quality so I may be not as production as I thought.
my biggest problem is focus as I am constantly pulled off to do other things like drive customers,fix a light or something else etc etc
I was looking at Jeweling wax as a way to make the cars still look good without having 4 to 8 hours of buff time on them thus shortening my turnaround time. but I think maybe a cleaner wax would accomplish that better for me after reading your article.
I am always looking for ways to improve quality so I will probably order some Jeweling wax in the near future to gain some experience with it.

I missed Mike's post the first time around also. I read it and like the concept, but it was Carnauba, now I want a jeweling sealant.
