I just use Meguiars Ultimate Quik Detailer. I use two buckets, one for clean water and one for dirty. I use Meguiars Deep Crystal car wash and a soft microfiber towel to wash with. I use two soft waffle weave microfiber towels to dry with and I use the Quik Detailer while Im drying so I dont mar the finish. Wash and dry in the shade. I do this every once in a while, it takes me a very short time, I dont have any swirls,the pearl in my paint pops,water beads for a long time and I dont worry about which glaze, sealant, polish or wax to use or in which step to use them which gives me more time to enjoy my car and other things. Oh and I wash my towels with All Free Clear and dry them on low heat with no fabric softner. Hope this helps.

My steps are:
-Wash (I used only Meguiar's stuff, either Gold Class wash, Ultimate Wash & Wax, or their NXT Wash). I wash a panel at a time, and wash my wash mitt in between (so think of it like the two bucket system, but only I have more pressure to blast off any dirt, which I like better than the two bucket system) and keep the entire car wet in between panels to prevent hard water spots. -Water dry -Dry with the Absorber (dedicated one for the body and one for the rims). I use Ultimate Quik Detail if I'm just doing a simple wash and/or wax detail. Otherwise, proceed to the next step -Clay bar if I feel the need to. Meguiar's clay bar kit. -Wax. Applied with Meguiar's foam applicator pad using Gold Class Wax (NXT 2.0 [more of a sealant]) doesn't look nice on my paint color). Removed with a microfiber. If applying more than one coat, wait at least an hour in between coats. Do NOT wax in circles, wax in linear lines. -rinse with water to depolarize the body. -Water dry -Dry with Ultimate Quik Detail and Absorber. |
