    Here's a noob question: When I wax my car I try hard to get every little bit of surface covered. However, this causes little bits of wax to dry in places that are hard to reach.

I'm pretty sure it's rust though right now it looks like it's in the first stages of turning really ugly. Is water seeping in somehow from somewhere? I've...

    Does using a clay bar strip protection?

    Hey guys, quick question! I use Meg's Gold Class paste wax, along with their quik sprays to keep the car looking good. I've used a clay bar (megs) on the vehicle before, in prep for wax, and I know it cleans the surface good, but I was wondering if the clay bar stripped protection/wax?? Thanks!!

    1st time clay bar question...

    Hey guys, I just purchased my first clay bar from meguiars and I'm planning on using it today. This is how I'm planning on doing the detailing: first, I'll wash my car with gold class shampoo, then clay bar the car, then wax it with gold class wax. This sound correct? I've washed and waxed my...

    What happens when car is left dirty?

    I was wondering what happens to your paint when the car is left dirty for a couple of days. By dirty I mean: semi-dusty car got rained on and now you have dusty water spots all over the car. Leaving the car like this for a few days can be bad right? The paint is slowly destroyed also correct...
