who details their car?

when my brother had his 95 Camry we clay barred the entire thing after a pretty harsh winter in Salt Lake, looked absolutely amazing, but no pictures of it as he has moved on to an 01 V6 camry, soo much fun to drive

self car wash and mequiers wax and claybar;-) but in the winter i dont worry about it to much cuz its always dirty anyways...ill post some before and afters up in the spring time

wash'n'wax soap every week. it has some primer spots, so im not super crazy about the upkeep right now.

Is there any purpose to claybar'ing a white car? other the fact its gonna feel smoother?

well after i get mine repainted again, i might look into it. I think polishing is gonna do more for me, to bring out the pearl affect of my paint.

If you clay bar the car the best way is, Wash the car first then Clay Bar then Wash again and then add your wax.

I wash the car once a week and use Eagle One Wax as U Dry first then Meguiers Ultimate Quick Detailer to finish it off and I clay bar at least 2 times a year.

My car has a haze to it, and I don't know what I should do. I thought I should use rubbing compound. It was in an accident and someone used cheap paint, and its oxidizing(I think). But it looks like theres water spots even after I wash it. Any suggestions?

So I should try a polish and if not then try the compound?

By the way I usually use Meguiars product. But I use the RainX wax as you dry, and it works really well. This was when I had a Jeep Liberty that I actually washed.

haven't wash my car yet... but i use Mother's Car Soap, Mother's Clay Bar and also Nu Finish car polish.

Turtle Wax ice car soap, then turtle wax paste wax, then a coat of spray on wax is what I usually do. When I paint the car this spring it will be better taken car of.

I'm detailing the car very soon. I'll post before and after pics then. I haven't properly taken car of the exterior in months due to school.

n00bs, that is all lol. j/k I have too much money invested in detailing crap, don't even know where to begin.

LOL, noobs. My first job was washing lot cars and new customer cars at a dealership and it went from there.

My car after about 10 hrs of work. Wash, clay bar, wash, polish and wax.

I clay bar'd my car last year.

rolla02 or JLee, you guys use a PC or rotary?

I buff the car with 3M rubbing compound, then meguiars swirl remover then machine glaze for the final touch, then id use eagle one wash & wax but still after the car dries i use meguiars spray on wax, works like a charm, havent used zymol products yet but i will soon....

Both of my cars i detail:

Nope all hand work

turtle wax sucks man..meguiars FTW!!

i've used everything in the past and used to be a hardcore mothers fan but recently with meguiars 08 and 09 new products, i am moving towards meguiars as my fav. Not only is it easier to obtain their products for cheaper prices than what you can get from like germany and stuff but it also works pretty darn good.

Meguiar's is the only way to go Especially their mirror glaze line.

ive been wanting to clay my car any recommendations on what brand or the liquid clay bar. also i wash my car with ice cleaner then eagle one nano wax good stuff i like it

^^ Yeah the Eagle one nano is good stuff

yah check ur local big lots or odd lots i got a bottle of eagle one for 3 bucks woot as compared to 12 for set with a cloth and sponge thing

I bought the Meguiars clay bar kit today, and I have Meguiars cleaner wax, and then paste wax that I want to use. Would the cleaner wax be the same as a polish. I already have it so I figured I'll try it first instead of buying a polish.

heres some pics of my car random times throughout the time ive had it...thier all clean pics, dont think i have any of my car dirty, lol













and ya gotta have that dumped pic with stock everything else:-D
