thanks...anyone else ?

 

just a tip: you dont need expensive products to do a good job. a good forum site is http://www.detailcity.com/ . i use a good all purpose cleaner/degreaser for the interior and engine. i use new wave made by ardex (available in the philly pa area). just find something that has a neutral scent and dilute alot (i do 16:1). the cleaner/degreaser can clean the intire inside, except for the windows. i like to spray the carpets down and scrub, then vacuum. i usually dont dress the interier w/anything shiny. it gets anoying. i usually use furniture polish. as for the wax: i like the meguiars 3 step cleaner, polish and wax. remember: always clay the truck first. it makes a huge difference. when i first started getting into my truck i bought all sorts of expensive products. i soon found that i could get good stuff at the auto store and places like walmart for a lot less. the only thing i wouldn't cheap out on is wax. dont get any of those waxes that make your car shiny. a good wax wont really make the truck shine. the polish does that. the wax just protects. the more shiny stuff they add the less protecting you're getting. i like to wax the truck twice for even coverage. the second coat i spead real thin and leave it on for a few hours.


here's the ardex site. the new wave is amazing that the dull away tire and exterior trim stuff works well too.

i hear the meguiars paste wax is really good. (its the second one down) http://www.meguiars.com/store_meguia...&subcatagory=1

 

agree with jessfactor. i use purpose made car wash soap (not liquid dish soap), followed by a clay bar treatment (i use mother's clay bar), a cleaner, then mequiars paste wax followed by a car polish (Zymol is my favorite polish. $11 a bottle at walmart but it is good stuff). USing clay bar and the polish on top of the wax is what will make your paint stand out from all the others.

 

anyone else??

 

I agree with a few of the other guys out there no need to use expensive stuff its really not worth it,i use Meguiars products and they make my truck look like new every time i use them,you can write an e-mail to them or just call them on phone and they will ask you a few questions about your truck such as what type of enviroment you live in snow,rain,sand etc. and they will ask if you put truck in garage or is it left in street.Ok let me give you the website they have it WWW.Meguiars.com there phone # is 1-800-347-5700 they will send you a book on all there products i highly recommend using there products.Let me know how you make out on this.

 

Exrider,

So, the only criteria you have offered is "expensive". If that is the only quality in an appearance product for which you are looking, then look no further:

what about the zaino products?...they seem good

 

I dont know much about that product zaino!!!

 

sorry about that...what i meant by expensive what a good show quailty product

 

Zaino is great stuff. I use Zaino on all my cars. But it is clearly not as expensive as the high end Zymol.

If you want expensive, then go buy the Zymol.

YMMV,

i wasent looking for expensive just a good quailtity product

 

Meguiars is not expensive at all

 

i thought you polish after cleaning. a good wax should put a nice shell on. i like to clay and clean. then i polish the unprotected paint. after i get it how i want it i put a few coats of wax on for protection. the polish will actually strip some of the wax off, leaving the paint unprotected.
