Lets talk about what we use to clean our beauties up the right way. What have you used and had problems with, and what works the best for you?

turtle wax is good for me.. other than that i just took bunch of detailing chemicals from my old work chrysler stealership.. so i still have tons left lol

yea i use turtle wax as soap, but armor all for interior cleaning, meguires for my leather, and i have not waxed it yet, but its either going to be mothers, or meguires.

I just got done putting a double coat of Poorboy's Natty's Paste Wax Blue (for dark cars) on my Granite Blue 2.0T. Stuff works great - super-slick and super-shiny surface.

Nothing like a high quality carnauba wax, IMO.

For leather, I use nothing but Lexol. I has served me well for that past 4 or 5 cars.

shineyyy

what are you using to apply the wax? if you are using a buffer, what specific type?
i bought a cheap buffer but its just garbage.. need something that is the real deal

 

[Jaeger]

If you don't know what you're doing, a buffer can do more harm than good. I sure don't know what I'm doing - not with a buffer, anyway.

I did this the old school Karate Kid way - wax on, wax off - by hand. Very happy with the result, though I have acquired no ass-kicking abilities as a result - just aching arms. Sponge pad for wax on, new, clean terry cloth buffing cloths for wax off.

I like using products for Autoglym. They are available locally and are good quality.

More importantly make sure you use nothing but plush microfiber cloths on your paint and when handwashing use high quality MF wash mitts or sheep skin wash mitts. If you can when washing use 2 buckets. One for wash and one for rinse.
