Inferno Thread

Just throwing this out there, the best wax I have found is some stuff that some guy told me about 30 years ago in NY. He had a 1968 Mustang with the original metallic green paint that still sparkled: in 1984! It's called Gliptone and you can get it on AMAZON. It beads up to 6 months. I go through about a can every 2-3 years, and wax my vehicles about 4 times per year. Great stuff. I am sure there are others that are as good, but this is the best I have used so far.

 

MMMMM

 

Nice. I'll have to check it out and see how it works. We have to take care if our investments

 

Check out the detailers thread. Great info on products.

 

Inferno Red is a great color for the new Taco, just today I looked a new one at the dealership (a SR5 Access Cab) while my '99 was getting an oil change...but at 28K I can't justify that expense right now.

 

Which one beads for 6 months, the paste wax, liquid wax, or the Gliptone Paint Sealant?

I see they make a cleaner wax also. I like Meguiar's Cleaner Wax but may give this a shot.

I only use the carnuba wax. I tried the sealent once, it was OK, but not better than anything else I have used. The Carnuba paste wax is better.

I do a 2x2 foot area and wipe and buff it pretty fast. You don't want to let it dry or you will be buffing for a long time. Those microfiber towels from Costco work well too.

 

I use the stuff my detailers use...First Canadian Diamond Kote. shit's bananas. Used it on my CRV and with regular washes I only started to get swirls again after a year of no polishing or waxing. Still beaded water really nicely

 

Will do, thanks!

 

Don't think I'll be trying this wax then. Better stick with Meguiar's. I can wax my entire truck with Meg's before I wipe it off.

 

It's Orange, not red.

Side shot Saturday after a good wash!!

I'm trying so hard to wait a year or 2 before buying a 3rd gen (in Inferno of course).. But shots like that make it difficult. That looks good clean!

 

I'm trying real hard not to trade my paid off 2.7 in until the warranty runs out at least!! I sent a dealer the build sheet below. Wanting to see how much he knocks off. I can deduct those accessories and buy them cheaper on ebay.

I've got a son that works for Toyota... he says that the Inferno colour is gonna be fazed out for the '18 model...!!
Buy now or buy used.!!

 

You, sir, have ruined my day with this post.. I was aiming for 2018

 

Sorry Buddy... did not mean to ruin your day... After all My son was dropped on his head.... only once... maybe he will be wrong... I'll blame his Mother if he is wrong, but ...you just might win in the long run...
We're all pullin' for ya...!!

 

Is today Super Clean Sunday shots??

After a good wash and side shot Saturday, I finished off the weekend with some Maguire's Quick Detailer before it got dark.

Ready to kick off the week super sexy like!

 

Like your Devil Horns... The ole' lady has that color on her Corolla...

 

What the shit are you trying to do Chevy? It's orange. But it's lacking the gold and red metallic of Inferno. (That's me off in the BG)
