2. To make sure the car is really clean prior to starting claying I am thinking of spraying diluted (1:1?) P21S Total Auto Wash onto the paint (after a regular washing), then rinse off. Good idea? This would be instead of using some dish washing soap.
Much as I like TAW, I don`t think you need to do that either. I`d do a conventional wash with a strong shampoo mix, then a Dawn/etc. wash if you really want to do something like that, and then clay.
I sorta get the impression you`re leaning towards making this whole projecdt more complicated than it needs to be One of the nice things about white is that you *don`t* have to get fancy for it to look as nice as it`s gonna.
3. Any suggestions on a general washing soap? I am nearing then end of my Meguiar`s Gold Class Car Wash Shampoo & Conditioner bottle (which I can get easily at the local wall-mart/Canadian tire). Stick with the Meguiar`s or get something new?
What I like probably isn`t down your alley: I use Griot`s Car Wash exclusively as I`ve never found anything else that`s as good. For local/OTC shampoo, the Gold Class is OK. But maybe you could find some DuraGloss shampoo locally, I think that`d be a little better.
