optiseal then optimum spray wax

John, I think the two most common paint cleansers will be the Wolfgang and P21S products.

You can certainly find Meguiars variants at W*mart, AAP, AZ, Pimpboi, etc.

[Thomas Dekany]

John, don't you have HD SPEED? Never used an easier product period.

[MDRX8]

Speed is good. Another good product is SONAX Premium Class Paint Cleaner. SONAX Premium Class Paint Cleaner, car polish cleaner, sonax car polish cleaner, Sonax premium paint cleaner

If it were me and all I was looking to do was clean up a new car before wax, I would simply wash, clay then apply your favorite LSP. I suppose you could also follow up the clay with a 50/50 IPO wipedown.

[Thomas Dekany]

One should always polish after claying. John is following the right path.

I agree with Thomas. Check out how my pads look in my Speed review. I washed and clayed. The car is less than one year old, and the pads were BLACK!

IMO, the best paint cleaner there is, is KAIO. However if you are going with Optimum, Poliseal is a great product to use before Optiseal. Speed is great too, but there could possibly be bonding issues.

..IMO, the best paint cleaner there is, is KAIO...

That's what I was thinking too.

OTOH, if you do a decontamination with something like "ABC", you often can go directly to your LSP. No claying, no polishing (unless there's marring to correct), no paint cleaner, nothing for prep but the ABC. And I'd decontaminate *every* new car anyhow. Period.

Hey Tom, what's your opinion on KAIO as a cleanser?

[addysdaddy]

I've been staying away from the KAIO because I thought it would leave behind some residue. So far have had good luck with the Wolfgang & P21s cleansers.
