Firstly i give her a wash using Johsons & Johnsons baby shampoo, with a Meguirs Lambswool wash mit. do not use human products on the car, is designd to moisture rise a baby, so it has alot of oil in it, which will sit on the surface of your car.. the mits are crap, all they do is scratch as they get cloggd with dirt Then a chamois with a Meguirs Microfibre chamoi Then a coat of Meguirs Paint Cleaner its crap Then a coat of Meguirs Deep Crystal Polish its crap Then leave that overnight why? Then a coat of Autoglym Synthetic Wax why? you already used the meguiers, theres no point waxing over wax Leave that sit overnight Then a coat of Turtle Wax Carnuaba Wax why? you already used the autoglym, theres no point waxing over wax meguiers is shit house, autoglym is much better.. But i use zymol, german products. http://www.zdoau.com/ it is the best, nothing comes even close.. edit: i could get a better finish that yours, cheaper, and quicker.. wash car. clay car with 3M paint clay, its removes fallout and other things on the surface. wax car using zymol cleaner wax ($60) it will fill small scratches and hide swirl marks, has %17 canuba, and will out gloss most other things of the same price ont he market and last longer.. You can get up to %90 canuba in the zymol range, obviously they get more expensive, but its the best.. -------------------- Cut and Polish, show room finish $150, $200black cars

all that stuff was recommended by Will Wax You...so dont ya think they'd know a thing or too about it?
Also the idea of putting on dual layers is to give the efect of both the synthetic and natural waxes. If you look at show cars, they dont just have one layer, and one type of wax, they use mutliple layers of differing types. Reason u let them dry is so they set, or you dont bring out their true qualities if you just do them back to back. -------------------- |

Does it depend on what colour car you have as to whether or not you see the best results??
Each to their own I reckon, but two days to wash and polish? sheesh! -------------------- |

Of all the above products, i still go back to my Tech Wax. Doesn't require as much buffing. Just apply and wipe off. Simple.

Reason u let them dry is so they set, or you dont bring out their true qualities if you just do them back to back. no, show cars use natural wax;s with high canuba to give it taht mega gloss, there is no point in waxing over wax, it wont make a difference.. and dont let it dry, thats when you scratch the paint taking it off. i know the techwax is easier to take off dry, but, i dont like it as it gives nasty streaks -------------------- Cut and Polish, show room finish $150, $200black cars
