My car is so dirty. I washed it once. 3 years and 11 months ago. I've had it 4 years. I want to wash it and wax it and make it pretty. It's so dirty. I barely remember what my Mahles look like under the brake dust. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Congrats on this major milestone. My car has so many leaks I don't dare take a hose to it. It gets "cleaned" with a damp cloth.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) How new is the paint?...I was told once you dont want to seal fresh paint until its gassed off for 40 days and make sure you clean the paint with a clay bar before you polish...I use Griots wax`s and polish myself ,and really like it ,,have fun MikeC |

The claybar systems are great. Amazing how smooth the paint gets from them. Mothers makes a good one. Mequires clay leaves residue even with alot of the liquid applied. Wouldn't reckomend that one.

I just cleaned mine up today. I don't worry to much about everything getting wet. Towels and the sun can get almost everything dry. Only thing I wanted to do but didn't get to was polishing the metal and the glass.
Anyways I used porter cable, meguirs pads and polish, poorboys glaze and wax. The glaze added some serious depth to the paint. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net-5505-1274581176.1.jpg) |
