Well it's finally that time of the year again when the snow has stopped and we can keep our cars very clean again!

I have been out of the detailing scene for a few years now so I'm not up on all the products anymore. I need some advice on some polishes/waxes. I'm looking for a 2 step process. I know maybe I won't get the best results with only a 2 step but 3+ is just too much for me these days. Basically I always start off with the dish soap wash, then move to the clay bar, now after that is where I am looking for 2 step waxing process.

Also I am looking for a good polisher. I need something that I can't damage my paint with! :p I don't need the best one but rather something that is best bang for the buck.

As for washing it from week to week I think I am going to try out that Optimum No Rinse. Looks like a good new product.

Thanks in advance for any help you can give me!

 

Pick one polish
- m205
- m80

Pick one Protectant
- NXT Liquid Wax
- m20
- m21

Pick up a pc7424 (about $130) a couple polishing pads and a finishing pad and you will be good to go. Optimum No Rinse is awesome as long as you are using it on more of a dusty car rather than a dirty one.

 

menzerna sip with orange pad if necessary
menzerna sip with white pad
menzerna nano with blue pad
menzerna 85rd with blue pad if you want to jewel the paint

i personally would skip the sealant and go straight to a carnuba like natty's blue paste wax.

like mentioned above, onr will work for a almost clean car, or you can get duragloss 901.

menzerna polishes are a little easier to use than meguiars, especially with a pc if thats what you plan to use rather than a rotary.

 

If you use a PC instead of a rotary with Menzerna polishes, it will take a bit longer to break down the "diminishing abrasives".

Why skip the sealant? The sealant before the 'nuba will add some extra protection, especially after the wax starts to wear off.

A good sealnt is werkstat acrylic jett trigger. easy to use.

another wax to recommend is 1Z hartglanz and collinite 845. Both have good durability.

 

its all personal preference. on a dark car, i wouldnt.
