My method is a little different. Wash the car and check the finish for "scratchy" contaminants. If present, clay bar the car. (I use a clay bar pad with my Griot's Garage ROB.) Use lots of lube. Wipe down and apply Autoglym Radiant Wax Polish (which is really a chemical cleaner/glaze) and buff. Apply Autoglym Hardwax and buff. Done!
Repeat at 6 month to 1 year intervals.
Autoglym is an English product, and bears the Royal Family seal of approval (this is for real, and no snake oil).
A year ago, I attended an S 2000 meet in my town, where many of the cars were "dripping with Zaino." IMO, mine looked just as good (if not better) with much less work.
I find that the wax job on my garaged cars lasts a year or more. To "perk it up" I use Aradex 4288 Spot delivery detailing spray.
The Autoglym products mentioned above are available from several on line suppliers. The Aradex product is available through wholesalers who sell to body shops, and you should be able to get your favorite body shop to get you some. Expect the Autoglym products to be priced around $25 per liter and the Aradex product to be priced around $30 per gallon. So this is not high-dollar stuff, but it sure does work. |
