Click this link... https://www.hondacivicforum.com/m_265180/tm.htmOn post #11 I did a little write up for general paint care and there are some other great suggestions in that thread as well.Like you mentioned in yourPM, Sonus makes a great shampoo and overall great products and P21S is a great cleaner, plusthey make an excellent paste wax. [sm=smiley20.gif] But... neither are available over the counter, unless you are located near one of their dealers.

Remember... As one pro detailer put it so well... "It'sthe process, notthe product that delivers spectacular results."

Best of luck to you my friend...[8D]

 

how does using a washmitt get rid of old wax as you mentioned?

 

It's actually not the wash mitt but the shampoo that removes the wax. Some shampoos are more effective than others at this.
