Educate the new guy

a little history on me, I have a 2002 Mustang GT. I live in iowa so my car only gets driven about 8 months out of the year and most of that time it sits in the garage since I only drive it on nice, sunny days. I was reading over at svt performance about various waxes such as poor boys, and clearkote. I looked into some of their stuff and I was wondering what combination of things you guys would recommend? I don't have a buffer or anything, I like to do everything by hand, since that's what I'm comfortable with. I've been waxing my car with NXT all last summer since is affordable and leaves a good shine. But I'm just curious if there's more to be had with other products. Also recommendations for towels would be great too. I've been using microfiber towels to take the wax off but I just got some from walmart and they just don't seem to be the best. I don't want anything too crazy or expensive but what would you guys suggest to really bring out the blue and really make it shine?



btw I think this site is great and really look forward to getting my car back out for the spring so I can really detail again.. and of course drive it!



here is a pic of my car right after nxt

I'm pretty much of a newbie myself but I definately suggest that you start claying your car if you haven't done so already. Also get a PC. You can do things so much better with a PC and it's relatively safe to use.

The most important thing that I've learned here is that it's not the wax or sealant that you use, the preparation is the most important thing. :up

well the best thing to do is to read the forums and since everyone has a preference on what they use the best thing is to try them yourself. which i know can be expensive, but if you get some friends involved you can each buy a different set and see which you like the best. My preference is Zaino but that was what got me interested in detailing.
