    Detailing question...

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    So arriving home from school for winter break, I finally had access to a hose and all my cleaning supplies so I detailed my car today. I have a few questions on what I should do to keep my car clean. I washed it with dawn dish soap, hit it with a clay bar, washed it again, then dried it completely and waxed it. The car looks great, but what would you guys recommend to keep it clean after this? If it gets dirty again soon what should I wash it with to not strip all the wax off?

    a good car wash would be einszett perls it won't strip the wax off.

    then use a spray wax to keep the car protected or put another coat of wax on it.

    1Z perls is a hot topic in the detailing world. I have yet to use it, but Phil knows! It's supposed to be good stuff!
