I would like to know what type of car wash and waxes that people use to clean their cars for shows. Any input is appreciated.

i dont worry about getting the more expensive soap.....i just use armor all soap but i use meguiars wax......works very very well.

I sue the wolfgang car wax about once every three months, and I use the armor all squirt on wax as you dry every time. IT is extremely easy to use and when used once a week works nice. IT takes an extra 2 minutes.

Sweet so u dont have a job? LOL funny typo.

I get the 12 year old down the street to wash and wax my car for $10 while I sit and have a cold one. Best thing is, he uses his dad's soap and wax. Don't know what brand it is, but it works great.

Thanks for the input. I use Duragloss car wash and wax for clear coats. They work pretty good but I have spots on the hood where the washer fluid gets on it. Any ideas how to get them off?

lol ngoti8tor, 10 bucks? and he uses his dad's. cant beat that deal! i just waxed my car today with finish2000 by turtlewax. works good. but, next time im gonna buy some new cause that was just in the basement and about 5 years old prolly. oh well, it worked just a little out of date.

I have another ? for you wax pros. Do you know anything about F21 wax made by turtle wax?

Meguiars NXT wax best wax ever

the F21 is good but it is a B!TCH to get off and i agree with Ballz the NXT IS THE BEST.

i use mothers wash everyweek and i just put mothers wax and it works great, the soap gets alot of the hard stuck dirt off

if your car isnt smooth anymore i recommend using a clay bar to get your car as smooth as a baby butt. It get rid of all the crap that make your car all rough. I use meguiars clay bar. Then a polish using # 7, and to top it off with gold class wax. you would slide of the car if you sat on it.

i use black magic wet shine car wash.....if you have a black car....try it, that stuff is awesome and it smells good lol

I work at a detail shop and we use every product imaginable but i think mr. clean auto dry wash looks great id actually prefer it over waxing.... mostly cuz waxing sucks and takes forever. And mr clean is spot free guaranteed ;) lol

I use Meg Gold Class shampoo and Top of the Line: Bubble bath(my fav)

i just use turtle wax soap and wax. cheap in price and it works pretty damn well.

I've found that protectall car wash works very well for the body and that armor all works the best for plastic mirrors and trim. For tires use bletchly's white wall cleaner first, dry the tires off, and then give them a coat of armor all for a awesome shine

Two words... Royal Blue


no wax needed

I started with a Meguiar wash, then used a Klasse Polish, now I'm glazing my car.
I have been building up a few layers of Klasse Glaze, but the stuff drys up really hard, and it's tough to buff off by hand. I have to use a damp microfiber with a dry microfiber, it takes forever.
A couple more coats of Klasse, then I'm going to build up a few layers of wax.
It looks really good, but this process takes forever if you work a lot of hours and you don't have time after work to continue the process.
