elle Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 so... I've had my car for 7 months now and washed it/waxed it once. This is my first car, and I know NOTHING about anything pretty much. Can someone give me a quick walkthrough on what the different types of products i'll need to put on my car... I was hoping to expand my list to more than just 1-car wash 2-wax. =P I want to make my car shiny, and give it there care it deserves. =) I'd prefer something that is easier to do because i have no hose readily available since i live in an apt. This has contributed to my laziness... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elle Posted March 7, 2006 Author Share Posted March 7, 2006 what is the best wax/wash/etc for someone who wants to make their car as shiny as possible, without having to purchase anything outside of microfiber towels and wash mitts - i'd rather buy anything big right now, esp since I don't have space to put it. so what i'm gathering is that the polishing step is the one that leaves swirls? is there a product that doesn't swirl as much? WITHOUT a machine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCDetails Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 I have some questions like that answered on http://www.ocdetails.com. There are some good product suggestions in the product section as well as other tips in the FAQ section. Go to OCDetails.com and click on the OCD University section for the articles. I need to get my butt in gear and update some things, but it is still good information. _________________________________________ “Cleanliness becomes more important as godliness becomes more unlikely.” O C D E T A I L S .

WITHOUT a machine? here's what i use: quality wash mitt and microfiber towel meguire's nxt car wash best bang for buck wax is s100; if you have a dark color, pinnacle works great too! quality sealant that lasts longer than wax is Klasse brand (winter/UV protector) as your car get older and your paint isn't as smooth, don't forget to clay (clay magic works awesome) these helped me to start off...you need to do the search for more info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
