just got home the other night with my new polar white xB, coming from a jacked up jeep wrangler I am LOVING the car more than I expected. my only question is how am I gonna keep this thing clean? I never really worried about it with my jeep and honestly dont know one thing from another when it comes to washing my car, its SHINY right now I love it!

can anyone help?!?!

 

get some quality car wash - meguiar's or armor all are favorites around here. wash at least once a month, and preferably by hand.

next, get some quality wax - check out this thread to give you ideas about what will work for you: https://www.scionlife.com/forums/vie...376&highlight=
zaino, meguiar's, mother's and turtle wax are the big brands around here.

remember, clean your wheels. they make the car.

all in all, general car care is necessary. a little bit every now and then goes a long way. oh yeah, do EVERYTHING by hand. it's worth it in the end.

cheers.

 

There are several threads on a variety of subjects which will be of interest to you in the forum I just moved this thread to.

Also, check out autopia.org.

 

One of the reasons for the big emphasis on washing by hand is that if you keep your mitts, brushes, towels, &c. clean, you can avoid getting scratches. Presumably you'll be a lot more rigorous than a third party about keeping road grit from getting stuck in your cleaning gear.

 

The cleaner you keep it the easier it will be to clean. At least it's white and won't show the neglect like say BSP or BCP.
