What kind of...

Waht kind of wax do you guys use to polish? I was thinking about maybe getting some expensive one, but then I thought maybe the cheaper ones would do too, since it is just a model.

Tamiya Modeling Wax..gives paint a great shine.

Zymol for both model and real car. :)

Tamiya's stuff is okay, but I use a modeling wax called "The Treatment" (actual product name) that is absolutely fantastic. I can wax flat lacquers with it and get a decent shine. Though it has been known to burn through paint on sharp edges.

Zymol or Meguiar's Yellow Wax.

ive had some excellent result with good old Turtle Wax, its reasonably cheap, you get loads, sorted
I usually apply about 3 coats one after the other and you can see your face in the shine . . .:cool:

Ok, Thanks guys. I don't know what I'm going to get yet, but I think that I might just have to get the Car waxes. My local hobby shop is about 8 1/2 hours from where I live. I don't get to build a lot of models.

Same as I use on my real cars..
Autoglym Paint Renovator
Autoglym Super Resin Polish
Autoglym Extra Gloss Protection

Really it all depends on how much the paint job needs it...
Sometimes you'll find you don't need any.

i was gonna ask the some question
which meguirs is the best or some other auto wax please be specific
i have no clue

me>:confused:

I did'nt think there was anywhere in WY that was 8.5 hrs from Denver...
Maybe thats just via Supra! lol

Most automotive wax products are polish/waxes that contain both abrasives and solvents, both of which can harm your finish.
Be careful and test on a 'scrap' body first.

I've used Maguires yellow "high tech" wax and I use the treatment wax now, when I get a chance I'll get some of the Tamiya wax to try.

:tongue:

Hey, how did you know that the local place was in Denver? Since you live pretty close, have you been to Bob's World of Hobbies or whatever that place is? That place is so great. I love going there.
My dad does drive kind of slow. I wish he would drive faster. Its supossed to only be about 7 hours, but...

Bob's is OK. You should get to Colpar in Aurora or Lakewood though.
Here's a link, they ship and they can order almost anything for you.
http://www.colpar.com/
:tongue:

Ok, thanks dude. I'll be going down to Denver again in Oct I think. I'll check out that place when I do go.
I know where it is. Its by a Nissan Dealer, isn't it? I went there last time and they were closed.

Colpar has a big sale/ model contest coming up around Labor day.
:tongue:

Dang. I won't be able to go anytime around labor day. It really stinks living this far away.

Just thought I'd throw this out there, but if you're ever in Greeley you should check out Don's Hobbies. Its actually bigger than Colpar in Aurora and I think it has a better selection of Fujimi models. But I still buy all my gundam stuff at Colpar.
I might have to check out that sale if I make it to Denver for the Denver GP this year :bigthumb:

Where is Greeley? I don't think that I've ever heard of it.
