(I'll write more later)
My basic wax technique for the above pic was: - 3 coats of Klasse Sealant Glaze - 2+ coats of One Grand Blitz Wax (I rewax bi-monthly) - Quick Detail once between waxing (depending on weather)
My cleaning regimen: - I try to wash weekly (but sometimes the car stays clean) - I always have to clean the rear wheels (due to brake dust) but I use Rain-X Wheel Protectant as a brake dust barrier. It stops the adhesion of brake dust to my wheel. Just spray a clear protective layer on a clean wheel and it keeps it protected. Coming washing time just soap and sponge off. - Every month I use Black Magic Dashboard Protectant on my dashboard. I know what you're thinking: its too shiny, its silicone based, it's made by Black Magic. But here's the deal, it's semi-gloss which gives it a "healthy" look; it's not shiny at all. It has no silicon; it's a water-based citrus smelling formula. PLEASE DO NOT confuse it with all their other shiny Armor All looking stuff (don't buy the clear bottle waterless formula stuff). - I will now be using Pinnacle Car Shampoo to clean my car (heard it's really good). - I will also be using One Grand Show Off Quick Detailer (carnuba infused).
And of Course: - I keep an MT (Microfiber Towel) in my dash and trunk for quick detailing all the time. - I dry my car with one MT (2's easier). - Make sure to check out my main page where I sell microfiber towels, the same towel as the $13 ones, tags and everything. |
