Hey guys,
Just wanted to say hi. I used to be a member many years ago when I bought my Civic. I was really into keeping it clean and shiny, but as school and then work got busier, I washed it alot less. And b/c it was silver, I was able to get away with it. Now I just bought myself a blue Altima and I'm wanting to keep it nice and new looking so I'm back on this website. Things have changed quite a bit since then. Now it's microfiber everything, people talk about clay barring much more, and there are soooooooo many products out it's crazy. I'm still trying to learn about the new ways to do things and the new products.
So far, I've got myself some microfiber towels, a microfiber mitt, ICE car wash, a california duster, a leather chamois(but it seems that it isn't the way most people dry anymore so any recommendations on what to use to dry would be great), i had myself a
california water blade, but it didn't seem to work so well (think i might have gotten myself a defective one), and i bought myself a bottle of Meguir's cleaner wax b/c i had a few spots that the wash wouldn't get out.
I keep reading about using a detailer wax in between wash and major waxes. How does that work? You just spray and wipe, or spray, work it into the paint and buff off? Does it take off things that a cleaner wax would? I know that the cleaner waxes are more abrasive, but I had a few spots that i just really needed to get off ASAP.
Ok, I'll be lurking and reading and trying to learn from you gusy. I think that some of the things are just a little too time and money consuming for me, but i'll pick everyone's brain and hopefully find something that works for me.
