#1 of 5 What waxes/ protectants are you all using on your CX-9? by claireb Aug 05, 2008 (8:02 am)
Hi All,   I was wondering what waxes; steps etc you are taking to preserve your paint on your CX-9?   Could you post any problems/successes you are having?   I really want to take care of my paintwork, but I do not want to spend an absolute fortune on it either.   Thanks for any advice,   Claire Replies to this message: ceric (Aug 05, 2008 9:29 am) fishrule1 (Aug 11, 2008 6:24 am) 99zoomr (Aug 12, 2008 10:42 am)

Replying to: claireb (Aug 05, 2008 8:02 am) For me, I wax my vehicles (including CX9) once a year and wash them every other weekend if possible (manually). I seldom put my vehicles through machine wash unless it is the jet-type. Traditional cloth wash put swirl marks on your paint surface (very obvious for dark color vehicles). If you want to do more, you may consider "clear bra", which is a set of thin 3M films you put on the front (bumper, fender, hood, etc.) end panels. It is nearly invisible and it protects chipping from road debris. I have not used them yet. You will find lots of them on eBay.
#3 of 5 Zaino by abpelch1 Aug 05, 2008 (11:33 am)
Just bought my CX-9 new last week, but have been using Zaino on my Accord for the last 4 years. Will probably use on the CX-9, too. It's more expensive & you have to order online, but it is 10x easier than carnauba wax to apply & remove, plus the results are great.

Replying to: claireb (Aug 05, 2008 8:02 am) I have 3M's Paint Protective Film on my hood and fenders, side-view mirrors, headlights and foglights, and door edges. Elsewhere, I use Griot's products (http://www.griotsgarage.com), specifically the Paint Sealant when the car was new, followed by the Best of Show wax quarterly. I'm kind of nutty about this stuff, though.

Replying to: claireb (Aug 05, 2008 8:02 am) I've been using Meguiar's Tech Wax. Goes on easy, buffs off easy, and seems to hold up pretty well. I usually hand wash my cars every few weeks and wax them twice a year...
