I used to hand wash my TSX. But since I`ve been busy so much, I dont have time to hand wash it. So everytime it got dirty, I had to take it to a touch less car wash. It hurt that I was messing the clear coat/paint up, but I couldnt drive a dirty car.



So since summer is coming up, I have time to clean it. I have light scratches in the clear coat that can be taken out with a Porter Cable, but I dont know what products to use.





Can you guys tell me what you would recommend for the wax, glaze, polish, pads, etc etc.



I want to do this as a side business too. 17 and in high school, I could use the money. Lol

optimum polishes will work great for you. I use menzerna.



Propel 2 pads from Exceldetail. Get 2 each of the orange, green and blue.



Jeff wertstatt products: Prime and trigger. Carnuba jett if you want a carnuba.

I`ve had good luck with Meguiar`s and 3M polishes. They can usually be found locally which is a bonus, because you don`t have to pay shipping. For toppers i like NXT wax or PUPP.

Those are all top-notch products. If you don`t mind spending the cash, then go for it.
