markw markw Post Master Supreme Registered: 01/31/00 Posts: 14015 Loc: Not Toronto	I use to be into detailing my cars... had all the products, clays, polish... this was more than 10 years ago now so all the product I still have are shit, and very out dated... someone school me on the basics? I have a waterless spray wash/wax that I've been using for quick cleans.. and two buckets and some ol' fashion soap for a good wash... but I want that shine back. Is waxing THAT outdated? All I keep reading about is ceramic coating and fancy shit that's new to me. _________________________ Team Q.W. ftw

All I keep reading about is ceramic coating and fancy shit that's new to me. nope. a good clay bar, polish and wax will go a long, long way. basics: wash with meguries gold class (crappy tire $14), clay ($20 crappy if you want to go through claying, use wash soap), polish (meguires M205, amazon smallest size, use machine dual action polisher), seal w/whatever sealant you like, i like blackfire. tire shine clean rims and bling out.

I've got tons. Do the clay mitts do anything with those or am I better off using a bar? Does IronX help?

titty sprinkles titty sprinkles Post Master Supreme Registered: 08/22/05 Posts: 17318 Loc: Toronto,Ontario	clay mitt or bar, it's the same thing. a bar is better for getting into the tight spaces tho so i always have both on hand. IronX does help, quite a bit however, i don't use it. it's pretty much the same thing as sonax wheel cleaner; a cleaner based detergent that reacts with iron (the fallout), turns purple and dissolves it. personally i don't like it because what about the parts that don't have iron on it? it's strong enough that it doesn't leave clear coat alone so i'd rather be on the safe side and go at it with a clay bar and some elbow grease and save the clear coat. plus, it stinks. bad. so bad that i would consider wearing a respirator if using it. _________________________ 2019 TLX Aspec

furball furball Post Master Sr Registered: 09/24/03 Posts: 9534 Loc: Toronto, ON	Sonax for rims is the absolute BOMB ... I used to just spray on, let it sit, then wash off, no drying, and a few days later I'd get this disgusting grey build-up of dirt... Finally grabbed a rag to rub it off, and those rims are damn shiny, and stay shiny...
