Whats the difference between wax and polish for your car. How do you go about using them, like polish first then wax or what? Also how often should you and shouldn't you wax and polish your car. I've heard if you wax your car too often it will dull the paint.

 

heres a helpful site
http://www.autopia-carcare.com/how-to.html

 

good tips.

 

thanks, great site

 

exactly what i needed!

 

wash>claybar>polish>wax...
and then use a detailer for in between waxings to maintain a show quality.

 

As posted above....Autopia has it down to a science!

Look at my SHINE using their system and Meguiar's NXT wax.

 

I dig the clay bar girl

 

Great site... I use it often
I've found that the frequency of detailing depends upon your location and the environment.
If you live in LA, it's not a bad Idea to Do a full detail once a month, wash once a week, detail spray after each wash.
If you have vinyl graphics... I didn't look to see if this was on Autopia or not, but they can discolor/stain if contaminated. So it's wise to heavily wax the decals too, Especially white.

Clay Bar rules, so does distilled white vinegar!

 

okay so i accidently waxed my box....but my hands are uhm...still waxy? how do i get this wax off?

 

how do you accidently wax your car?

 

you might want to accidentally use hand cleaner

 

wait, she said she "waxed her box"
whats she REALLY trying to say ?

 

that stuff at the car wash! its labeled "wax" and i didnt realize i had it on that setting. thought i had it on rinse & by the time i realized what i did, i didnt have any more change left to rinse off the wax. so i had to use microfiber to wipe it down after the wax stuff settled.

ive tried washing my hand with antibacterial, regular soap etc but my hands still feel slippery esp when wet.
