today i washed my car with the Mr. Clean Auto Dry car wash system. it works very well, but it seems like whenever i do wash my car and the water dries, that the hood and front bumper just arent as clean as the other parts of the car. but idk. i also have this Nu Finish scratch remover that ive used once before and it worked very well, but this time i think i may have used a little too much or didnt buff it in thoroughly enough. it kinda left a smudge but not as bad as when i re-washed the buffed areas. o well my dad is buying me a wax this weekend so yay. what do u guys use when you wash your car?
Thanks.

 

mr. clean auto dry. no problems yet

 

oooooo. Never use that Nu finish stuff. I ruined the clearcoat finish on my old rx7 by using it all over. It works for small areas (like on scratches) but I dont think its meant to be used as a car polish.

 

I recommend using a synthetic 'wax' or polymer... caranuba and all that stuff isnt as good as synthetic, that's for damned sure.

I think there is a guy in our detailing section that sells stuff. Hmm.

EDIT: there's this place... damn they are $$$ though. Jeebus. http://www.wolfgangcarcare.com/index.html

 

quit being lazy!

take pride in washing your car

 

Who was being lazy?

 

best inexpensive wax you can buy right now is meguiars tech wax. It works great. Only have to wax my car once every two to three months. Before, I was doing it every third weekend. It is what Brumos Porsche/Mercedes/Lexus uses, (big dealership in the north florida). A friend of mine is a detailer up there, so I get it for free...

 

I use Turtle Wax soap, water, and a sponge.....

 

I use Meguiars Tech Wax. My car shines like crazy and stays clean. Of course I use IHG as well Meguiars Show Glaze.
