Meguiars everything in these steps..........wash, clay bar, precleaner wax, polish, then a good waxing. Looks factory new when done and is usually done when the water won't bead any more when I wash it. If I had to guess I usually do that about 10 times a year including winter when it needs more protection. Wash it once a week even if it doesn't need it in the summer, wash it at least twice a week in the winter including a very stringent underbody wash, no matter how cold it is. Prestone stain remover for the carpet and mats when needed, shop vac it once a week. Which reminds me I am past due on my cleaning service this week |

Seems Meguiar's is a pretty popular product. What steps do you guys take (& products do you use) when it comes to waxing? |

I used to use Meguiar's but then I got into detailing and started using different stuff. I'm trying to get rid of the Meguiar's stuff actually lol. Surf City Garage is good! I have only tried their car shampoo, but it is a very nice product. Wish they would sell more of it locally. For waxing, Autoglym HD Wax is really good. Sometimes you can find it cheap at Walmart or Pepboys. I paid 35 bucks when I got mine. It can be kind of a pain to put on though. If you are strictly wanting to use Meguiar's then the Gold Class is good. |

I will wash it with dish soap to strip old wax off, then clay bar it with Meguire's clay. Then do scratch removal (Ultimate Compound or Swirl X on spots) then polish with DC2 then use SCG Nano Sealant than Nano Glaze. Takes about 4 hours, but well worth it to me! |
