I still don't vibe with the "hand" waxing... I like the concept, and even the execution and the look... but, the human hand, especially a working man's hand, will never compare to a special engineered composite foam applicator.

Anyway, here's a cool video of a 100 hour Enzo detail: Topaz Detailing London - Ferrari Enzo Detail (120 hours) - YouTube

Yeah true, I do everything I can by machine. Still looks pretty cool though lol.

It's odd that the world's "best" detailers are all (I saw several videos last night) doing the hand-application. Makes zero, and I mean ZERO, sense to me. I just looked at my own hands, and they are dry, callused, rough meat-claws, haha! Not something I want to be rubbing and wiping and massaging over something I just spent days or hours correcting and buffing. Truly odd.

he definitely misquoted junkman, junkman's take on waxes and sealants is that when being used on a well cared for or show car finish you shouldn't try to use wax to obtain shine, that the paint should be made shiny by proper correction, waxes and sealants are for protection not shine, (although many do have oils and fillers to give a shiny look to the paint). but he does say there are definite quality differences in both sealants and waxes.

Thank you for cleaning that up. My follow up video to the 'guess the wax' video states exactly how I feel about waxes. I have yet to see one sailor on any ship in the Navy putting wax on the brass in order to make it shine. I have yet to see one Marine or Army soldier putting wax on their boots to make them shine. I have yet to see one person use wax on their exhaust tips in order to make them shine. I have yet to see one person use wax to make jewelry or aluminum wheels shine. Why is that?

Because polish=shine, wax=protection. Period.

I don't know about "Period" Junkman,

I have seen armed service personnel and civilians alike, put wax on their heads to make them shine.

Don't know what pads, compounds or polishers were used beforehand.

I can put baby oil on my head to make it shine. Does that mean that baby oil should be used on car paint? I know for a fact that baby oil will make paint shine, while collecting every dust particle on the planet.

I think that I will stick with my 'period'.
