Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Got your attention, huh? Rightly or wrongly, I followed advice and waited 4 months before the first wax. Supposedly to allow enough time for the paint/clear coat to fully cure. I think the manual said 3 months, but what's another extra month. Just got done. Boy, those Porsche curves are sure sexy! One curve languorously merging into the next, the hand gently following one mound into into a subtle dip........ Uh, where was I? Oh. Waxing. Right. Back to showroom shine! Gorgeous. And a satisfied, tired feeling of ... uh... accomplishment Just thought I'd share.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Nothing fancy, guys. Used Blue Coral car Wash/Protectant from Wal-Mart, no buffing the first 4 months. Just a soaking rinse, apply, rinse. Done about once a week. Now added Turtle Wax 100% Carnauba, also from Wal-Mart. It's an old time favorite that dates all the way back to HS and my Corolla SR, my first car. That car was a beaut!! Asian spec, fast and tossable!! Anyway, I digress. Just apply, let dry, wipe off, then buff. It has served me well, and I will continue to use it 'til arthritis sets in. One of my detailing secrets? I have access to surgical pads, better than any towel or chamy. Plus elbow grease. Lots of elbow grease. Ooops. Forgot about Commercial posts. I don't think this qualifies as nuke-able, does it?

POST 5Original post

Does the owner's manual really say to wait three months before waxing?

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Did the RTFM again today, ohsixx. Couldn't find the specific passage today. Maybe it's urban legend, but I know it's in there. I distinctly recall a thread at this or another forum where there was a discussion on whether the countdown starts from the build date or delivery date. Anyway, I've followed the same rule through all the new cars I've bought and have never regretted it.

POST 7Original post

Palting-you should do a side job doing telephone sex talk. With the way you said it- its turning me on : ). But man when a car is new, boy is it real fun to wash/wax and make it brand stanking new again : ). Regards. Mike
