Anyone know of a good cleaner wax!
What's up everyone....
I wanted to take one day and really detail my ride and wanted to know everyone's thoughts on a good cleaner wax/process that I could use. I've heard of clay bars and what now but I am unfamiliar in this area... I'm usually just one to wash and wax (and religiously I might add) but I just wanted to give my ride a good cleaning along with getting any and all composites that might have built up over the years. Right now my paint is in really good condition for a '97 so I want to keep it that way. Any and all help would be most appreciated...steps, product info, do's and don'ts....give it all to me kids.... Thanks in advance... Rod

ALWAYS work out direct sunlight
For cars with decent paint 1. wash/dry 2. clay bar 3. light polish 4. glaze 5. wax or paint sealant Meguiars & Mothers products are decent over the counter supplies. Working by hand takes lots of effort with minimal results. Random orbit buffers do a slightly better job, but nothing can compare to a high-speed rotary buffer in the correct hands. If you have never used a high-speed buffer DO NOT try on your own car. Get proper training before using or you will do more damage than good. Microfiber towels are great for removing waxes/polishes For more detailing tips, hints, & chemicals click here The most expensive wax I know of & ever used

did detailing for a few years
Wash (duh) use a clay bay (advance auto,pep boys,wally world has them) there is a few people who have a 3 steep kit Cleaner polish wax meguires (i think its spelled close to right) has the 3 step system and should be easy to find, Zymol kicks butt too as said in other post. but do the clay bar first your car will be like plate glass if you are good and sure with yourself use a real buffer (air powered is what i use but eletric is cool to) im not talking the random orbital buffer either...but you got to work with a good speed dont apply alot of pressure or speed or else you will burn the paint.....if you are goin to try buffing with a "REAL" buffer for your first time try it out on something other than your car something you could care less about (maybe you can find a junk hood or even try buffing the lawn mower for a first time try LOL) use the buffer to put the wax polish cleaner on and use hand power to take it off .... or radom orbital to take it off....read all instructions to!!!!!!!!!!!! hope it works out good for you few other tips oil for tire dressing or plastic motorparts~ Citrus Brite engine detailer (motor/under hood gloss looks like new)~ Purple power, super clean, simple green for motor/tire (not wheel) cleaning~ A GOOD all wheel cleaner with a soft brush or an actual wheel brush~ Clean fender well with strong cleaner let dry and paint flat black with rattle can...this is called blacking out~ you inside is to much ... as you may have leather, cloth, vinyl etc etc. its a pain to keep looking good but once again high quality auto motive interior cleaner and protectant works the best On the lines of protectant 303 is the best by far.... REAL expensive and cound be found at most RV/Motorhome Dealers/Stores

Re: Re: Anyone know of a good cleaner wax!
1 thing about the clay bar - after the car is washed take a plastic baggie & put your fingers in - then rub the paint. Use clay bar & repeat baggie process. You will feel how much a difference a clay bar really makes.
Dont go rubbin' the bag all over your car - 1 small spot is enough to give you an idea. If you drop the clay bar - BUY A NEW ONE! I always break clay bars into 3's & work with section at a time.
