Wax to avoid scratches.

Was just looking for that post... found it. #24047.

Coolman,

I have heard that autoskin is a good product but thought that if wax works it could be a lot cheaper alternative.

wax does not work like the auto skin...wax is a very thin film covering the pores which makes it gleam

Nu-finish is ok on cars that keep to the black stuff,or polishing your head if ya got no hair on it, but useless in the bush, it all depends how deep the scratch is. Lance

I have recently buffed the GQ after our three month WA trip and the scratches now seem to be part of the duco lol

It's worse when there has been a fire through in the previous year or too hey, cos then it's just NASTY! I was following my mate the other week along this old track (we were just doing a bit of exploring) and the track kind of got thicker and thicker until I realised I was going the wrong bloody way! He'd turned and I did'nt notice as it was that thick that I'd left the track!! I realised there was a problem when his UHF signal started to crackle....

Good laugh though. There's me driving over bloody fallen down branches and small trees and sh$t thinking, "Man this track hasn't been used for AGES!"

but willem, you went places no other sane thinking person would go

Jeff, I am starting to think that is the right idea too. My prado is the primary vehicle (the other one is a $1000 very real POS). Couldn't care about the POS, but actually do care about the other that could or will be going to the nasty places.

That's the one I use too....

Thats what i normally do Davoe but since getting new wheels thought I might be able to look after it a bit better. Reckon the novelty wear off soon and i wont give a s##t

don't know if you're referring to my lovely Maguires Davoe, but I didn't mean the T cut. The wax is b-e-a-u-t.

Nope never tried Maquires But I fintd it difficult to believe any wax would to much more than perhaps minimizing light sctatching. I have been down a few tracks pretty much overgrown with jam bushes as well as having tracks dissapear leaving the only option crosscountry I am not sure much will save your paint in those situations. On the bright side toyota paint seems pretty thick and some t cut and elbow grase seems to get most of them out

Well I new if I waited long enough I would hear "Toyota and pretty thick" in the one comment. Thanks Davoe LOL

Hi there Steve, I was actually at stockton beach last weekend there was a bloke with a brand new range rover top of the line stuff and here he was polishing his wheels I kid you not and he only just got on the beach, what a wank@r. All it was, was a bit of sand. Some people just have nothing better to do with there time, mind you he moved very quickly once the kids started to kick the ball around. Have a good day Take Care Steve M

told you it was good enough to eat;>). Glad somebody agrees. I get a bit worried about these flights of fancy, sometimes.

it's true, even the Wife gets jealous after i've been waxing the 4by, what with the sighs and wistful looks....."who's Carnauba?!"
