wax and polish

[5Toes]

My detailing partner and I (we detail cars together and make $$$) love Chemical Guys products. Their 50/50 wax is supposedly awesome, but I havn't tried it yet.

If you want a very cheap shampoo that is amazing, but their Wash and Gloss. $18 a gallon AND it dilutes less than an ounce per bucket

For best results, you really need to do it in multiple stages. There's no alternative to elbow grease.

Here's what I do to each car once per year:

1. wash with Meguiar's Gold Class, leave wet
2. clay the car using quick detailer as a lubricant
3. wash again with Meguiar's Gold, then dry with chamois
4. clean paint with single- or two-stage paint cleaner (I like Meguiars)
5. polish with 3M hand glaze
6. wash again, then dry with chamois
7. finish with carnauba paste wax (I like Mother's)

The whole thing takes a couple of hours from start to finish, but the car ends up sparkling clean and will stay clean for ages. All the products I mentioned above are readily available at Autozone, Pep Boys, etc.

Go to detailersdomain.com. Phil sells money in a jar that you can rub all over your car or whatever other sick fantasies you have.
