Wax spray - Toyota Yaris Forums

Congrats on the new Yaris! Before you go crazy with the waxes, I would suggest getting a clay bar and do your whole car, especially the horizonal surfaces. I too bought my car brand new and it's always garaged. Here's what I removed from only the roof with a clay bar after about 4 months of ownership. You don't want that crap under a nice wax job. Here's a link to my thread of how I detailed the exterior and the products that I used. Hopefully the information can be of some help to you.

Thanks! I thought about buying a clay kit and do the whole car......
So let's say i wash my car ,dry it and then clay it? Is it easy to do? Then after i clay it what do i do?

It's easy to do, but it's a lot of work.
After you clay bar it.
Give it another rinse with a soft sponge/use pre-wax cleaner.
Apply sealer/glaze
Wax it once (a lot of people say use a paste wax at least for the base coat).
Wax it again(spray wax should be fine this time).

If you do all this by hand it will fill up most of the day and you will wonder what on earth you did to get so tired.
