First you need to start fresh.
1-Strip off all the old wax,I use dawn for this and only this.
2-Clay bar.Will make your paint clean and smooth.
3-Wash it with your normal car wash and dry it good.
4-Polish it before you wax!Will make a huge difference.
5-Wax it with your Gold Class or the Ice.The Gold last longer but the Ice will make it shine damn good.

It will shine like new if you do all that.

Polish is like adding skin cream then wax seals it.

polish is a seperate product... kind of a prep for the wax

If you know what you're doing, and have good products. Then the polish will make your paint go from this,

Without polishing, your wax job will be shit no matter what wax you use. Especially on a black car.

Is it better to wash the car then use the claybar or use the claybar first than wash it?

oohsoobad2 01-17-2008 10:23 PM

Wash before and after using the clay bar. The clay bar is seriously a detailer best friend.
I know Meguiars Quik Detailer does a great job in between waxing.

03gtmustang 01-22-2008 08:14 PM

Polishing is a process. There are MANY different brands of polish.

tristang 01-23-2008 05:07 PM

its like 125 from the best guy in town. so its worth it.

03gtmustang 01-23-2008 06:49 PM

Who is it? Seems like a low price to me. At least for inside/ outside, doing things right and for full correction. But it also depends on whats getting done. So who is it?

One of the best on the east coast is in NJ.

tristang 01-23-2008 07:36 PM

i forget the guys name bt hes the best in the area. ive seen his work on my bosses mustang. he seems great.
