Can't Tell a Difference - Toyota Yaris Forums

The other day, our Yari got her second wax. The first was in one of those lame car washes, where we paid $9 for basically nothing. This time we did wax it by hand (well, actually my WIFE did it...I just supervised...seriously!) after washing and I really couldn't tell a difference. In fact, I think it looked shinier before the wax job.

And yes, she did wipe off the glaze.

Mine is black. Would that make a difference?

Try clay bar? Any small imperfections would be substantial for te mirror shine

try doing it yourself, this time, and have your wife supervise.

j/k

what kind of products are you using? Your Yaris seems to shine pretty well on the photo in your sig.

Yeah, now that shine was just with a wash! She used some sort of Turtle Wax in a bottle on it. One thing I noticed was that the haze wasn't too white, which to me meant there wasn't much wax there. Damn it, I have to do everything myself! LOL!
