lol - now the confusion begins!!
Tombee - did you apply claybar 1st? i must say your suggestion sounds like i do not have to do much work!! ie spend hours on it!!
I've tried these Claybars and I don't like them, if you do alot of motorway miles then I guess they would help.
I normally spend about about one and a half hours to wash and wax my car.
This is what I do:
Meguiars gold class shampoo in a bucket with water that is hot but not to hot that your are not comfortable to leave your hands in the bucket (helps to keep you warm as well, at this time of year).
Dry car with Meguiars Syn Leather/towel
Meguiars NXT Tech wax mixed with Turtle "colour magic black" wax.
thats about it...
I have tried more expensive wax's before but I have not found anything better than Meguairs at that cost. I have bought some Pinnicle Souvran Cannuba Wax and received it two weekends ago and this stuff is great but the cost does add up somewhat. It's going to be my new summer wax.
I tried this stuff and if you bodywork is in great/good condition then it works very well. It's like rubbing butter onto the car (feels very smooth) and once dry wipes away with no dust and not a lot of elbow grease. Finishing result is the best I've seen.
Heres a picture of TRAX 2004 (September 2004). I cleaned the car the day before and then drove to Silverstone and this is what it looks like.
