Thank you for posting a video about wax. Great information for all!
Thanks, Max!
I think it is pretty safe to say no one would let this guy detail this car unless he knew what he was doing. Awesome stuff !
Not an older guy. I don't really have any classic cars at the moment. Keeping up with the facebook groups, all the heavy hitter's videos, etc. But this is so nice. Wax. A joy of detailing. I get so tired of all the coating stuff that's taken over. Very cool.
Regarding the 24 hour/day before theory is imho the wax has that amount of time to really set up and enrich the paint and finish. I always find the next day is when the paint really pops. Carnuba is not dead. Great vid thx!
Love the traditional wax process! No one does it like you Todd! 👍🏼
Thank you Michael!
I have knee and leg issues and my wife asked me why I wax and polish my car so much if it hurts to walk. I showed her your part where you say men like to wax their car because they enjoy waxing and there’s a certain therapeutic aspect to it. That’s exactly what I’ve been telling her, verbatim. Btw, what a beautiful stable FFF has there. Props to you for them letting you wax their car. You really answered a lot of questions about waxing. Thanks for the Excellent video!
Thank you for making it simple Todd
I always watch your videos right through and never skip forward
Ever!
Thanks for watching, Lewis!
That collection is incredible
Indeed it is!
Great video Todd! We are huge wax fans as you know, thanks again!
I liked the lawnmower demonstration 👍💯
The dude is so calm standing next to Bugatti lol love your content
Thank you. It's odd to say, but we do get a bit desensitized with the high end cars since we're around them all of the time.
@@Esotericdetail you are living basically detailers dream
3 years @Almeida's classic cars...3 years @Tyree classic car restorations color sanding/polishing cars for the Blackhawk museum in Dublin calif....I am still active @62..still learning...I did a black version of this car a few years ago for a long time customer and a "best of show" at the concourse event....
the most beautiful car ever made 😍😍😍😍😍😍
Great video. Straight forward. I recently purchased some Polish Angel Master Sealant and Rapid Waxx from Esoteric. Waiting for that perfect day, weather wise, to get out there. Thanks again!
Do it in the garage if you possibly can.
@@lead-dog absolutely. Luckily, my garage is big enough to move around and do the job properly
Terrific video as always. Such a great channel.
Thank you as always, Jay!
@@Esotericdetail You're very welcome. Enjoy the rest of the weekend.
Would've liked to see how you waxed around the badges and emblems.
That Merc is beautiful 😯
Great video l learned a lot I have a black Lexus 430 Can't wait to order the wax
Thanks, and glad you enjoyed it.
I also am a huge fan of waxes and have my own collection of Mitchell and King waxes manufactured by hand here in Scotland. I have been told that at least three cars involved in the celebration of cars culminating at Pebble Beach have Mitchell & King waxes applied to them. I am in good company then having our 3 car family all prepared with their own M & K waxes. Why would anyone Ceramic coat a car and take away the pleasure of waxing for up to 5 years. Another easy watch and very informative also. Thanks
Looking at buying your wax
Gull Wing is hands-down the sweetest, best-looking cars ever created...ever.
Hard to argue that statement!
@@Esotericdetail I drive a gorgeous Benz, and have no “dream car,” except this one... in that same color 😎.
1:50, literally laughed out loud!!!
Todd Sir... You are best.. Love you... From Deepak Saini
Thank you!
Thanks
Great video! I'm not sure if it was mentioned in the video...but what year is the silver Volkswagen?
What an amazing car, I had to rewatch the first minute because I didn't listen to a word just stare 😂
Beautiful 300 sl!!

Todd how satisfying is it waxing a car
My ideology is wax is for show cars, and durable protection is for daily drivers. You don’t need the crazy self cleaning or durability for a garage queen. But you sure need a real coating for a daily driver outside in the elements 24/7
Hello Todd how are you?? Excellent videos as always!! Questions please .How about the brands that sells their own pre wax cleaner? They say after prewax cleanser used remove with microfiber an immediately apply directly the wax, isn’t this prewax cleaner already covering the pores of the paint an making the wax maybe not to bond correctly to the paint?
Because as my understanding mostly all prewax cleaners help to remove contaminants old waxes and other have abrasives others don’t and then they tell you to apply the wax immediately 🧐What are you thoughts about this? Or maybe after the pre wax use an ipa solution and then apply the wax??
Thanks in advance for your reply. Have a good day.
As long as the surface is prepped, I don't see it as a necessity. When companies were really pushing this, we didn't have common decon products like Gyeon Iron or Prep so a pre-wax cleaner was the only real process available. Thank you!
Should I stick away from the wash and wax all in one mix solutions and instead make sure I have my car completely drie before applying wax and seperate the processes?
Hi, I have a brand new 2023 Toyota RAV4 hybrid in your estimation. Could you please tell me what is one of the better waxes to use that is not too costly I am on a budget but I would really like to know please respond back thank you.
You’re right .. that’s not just a car , that is THEE car 😮
How many small red pads are recommended?
Does waxing prevents car from rust
Pretty sweet seeing the GT350 next to the Bugatti in the back there
Yeah, diverse collection indeed.
Would not claying mess with the longevity of the wax?

It's cut to hold both the rectangle Miyabi bottles, and the round ISM bottles!
Hello, can i ask a question? I want to put sealant on my car before winter for protection about 6 months(fusso coat) and after winter i want to put carnauba wax to my car for less protection but better gloss. And me question is, if i have after winter still some sealant on paint, can i just wash car, decon and put carnauba wax on it? Sorry for english, i am from Slovakia.
Yes, you can do that!
Todd, what do we do with that applicator when we're finished?
Wash it out by hand using some type of APC to help break down the wax.
@@Esotericdetail thanks
I think THANK YOU was what they were supposed to say.
Regular basis;
1. Wash with Bath+,
2. Maschine Polish (Rupes Corsa+Fine),
3. Gyeon Prep and
4. Wax.
Would this order be okay?
Yes but just use regular Bathe not bathe+. Bathe+ will leave a bit of ceramic protection behind which you don’t want on your polishing pad
What about Zymol, is that a good wax?
It's been a while since I have used any of theirs, but the stuff I did use was good.
1:46 - this guy knows
Is wax or ceramic coating better for quality?
How do you define quality?
Anytime a guy that has access to wax a million dollar 300 SL like that gives you a tutorial on waxing....you listen. Thanks!
Thank you! :)
not everyone own a Paganini but it's all good
Wax even several thousand dollars?!Never knew it !😳
It’s a shame you don’t show us what it’s like on a 10 year old car but it seems to me that the cars you do are showroom cars
Got really fed up with the adds otherwise a great video
Try Zaino and skip the natural waxes . Grab a glossometer and see if I'm right that nothing outshines Zaino products . For top show car results , try a coat of Z-2 , a coat of Z-6, another coat of Z-2 and right before a car show a coat of Grand Finale .
Proper machine polishing will make a far bigger difference than any product sitting on top.
You bear quite a striking resemblance and sound to Bill Murray. ! Seriously
The Bugatti in the background is gorgeous, but the Mercedes is incredible and timeless who wouldn’t want this car.
I’m currently eating a meatball hoagie
Tasty!!!
1:48 that wasn't wax he was sniffing
These cars never see light.of day show shine is plenty
Exactly how do you..."get with the manufacturer" other than instructions on the wax container? Those guys are not going to respond to Joe the customer. $500 for a can of wax. Obviously, this is a video for the rich and famous and your products are way out of my league. I'm outta here.
The more expensive the wax doesn’t lead to more durability in a hot climate. It’s gone in a week
Then you would be better off with a coating in that climate...
