Car cleaning and valeting discussion
What’s the TAC Shinee Wax like to use, some of the reviews SS it is hard to remove? But does give a high gloss finish??Vendee wrote: ↑Fri Nov 04, 2022 4:22 pm I gave the girl a good clean today and tried out TAC "Shinee Wax". This is a high gloss quick detailing wax spray. You can really feel the slickness after its been applied. My "Magnetic" coloured Puma isn't the best for showing up a gloss finish so I've shot this in b&w to show it off better.
Thanks
Well I'll start by saying its the first "quick detailer" I've used. Previously I've been using Gyeon "Wet Coat" every couple of months which is easier to apply and gives longer protection but less gloss.Radders wrote: ↑Sat Nov 05, 2022 8:32 amWhat’s the TAC Shinee Wax like to use, some of the reviews SS it is hard to remove?

The Shinee Wax did take longer to apply than I had imagined. I sprayed on to the panel or onto a microfibre cloth for smaller areas. A quick spread with the microfibre then leave for a minute or so before wiping with a clean microfibre. Finally I went round the car again with another clean cloth for a final buff to get a really high gloss. So its certainly not a simple spray on and buff off product. It probably took me 45 minutes to do the entire car but I reckon I'll get that down to 30 minutes next time. I bought it thinking I would be applying it every wash but it might get missed out on those cold winter wash days.

Thanks for the feedback, I currently use wet coat, which is a great quick no hassle protection, but as you say the extra effort of the shinee wax does look good, but wouldn’t call it quick, I also use poorboys hard wax which probably takes about the same 30-40mins, may invest in some TAC for the gloss appearance every so often.Vendee wrote: ↑Sat Nov 05, 2022 9:39 amWell I'll start by saying its the first "quick detailer" I've used.

Thanks. It does take a bit of effort but it doesn't get that treatment every time. The thing is that when you do make the effort every 3rd wash say, it makes it easier to shift the dirt on the "in between" washes.
