I dunno its something about those car lover's washing machines that makes me cringe.. i would rather somone do it for $20 at a car wash and you know its done perfect in and out.. Plus you can sit down and have something to eat while they do it.. and you have someone to blame if something goes wrong.. unlike Car Lovers.

Just curious guys, what do you recommend for Car Wash? Currently I use Meguiar's Gold Class Wash, any good? or do you have something better to use?

Hi Chris great to get back online to talk to ya. My opinion is that all the meguiars products are good but can be pricey. Try to locate a detailing supplier and buy in bulk, the stuff's not watered down and really is value for money. But choose wisely as some products are stronger than others and may f**k up the paint and wheels. Believe me you will thank me in the long run. Being a panel beater for a few years, you get to know the ins and outs.

P.S Still waiting for my ride - its said to arrive around April. ;)

If you have paint protection use the shampoo they give you, otherwise, if you don't I'd recommend Meguiars wet look, and then use Meguiars soft wash on it. This works the best if you don't have paint protection.

If you have paint protection use only Meguiars soft wash.

Highly recommended to get paint protection, you'll never need to polish it again. Even the dew lifts dirt off on a cold morning if you have paint protection :D

I used to think the same until the lacquer started coming off my wheels and more and more scratches started appearing on the car.

now I wash the car myself...

Being in a place with water restrictions I don't have much choice but to go to car lovers or one of those places. Hand wash is definitely the best and I use Meguiar's stuff as well.

Hmmm,

Personally I have not had the best results with the Meguiars "Gold Class" or any of their products. Meguiars, Mothers....etc. Hmmmm. Over priced and not worth the extra trouble.

In all honesty. Polyglaze kicks arse. :P

Polyglaze "Wash `n Wax" to start off with. (this is with the teflon coat protection so you have to be careful on what you use. You can just use the "Wash `n Wax if you want but adding polish on top of the protection really is worth doing, the clear coat protection does not supply enough eye candy in my opinion). :P

Polyglaze Diamond Finish (fast, easy, brilliant results). 2 coats a month apart.

then 2 coats a month apart of "Nu Finish" and don't touch the damn thing for 6-12 months. Just keep washing with "Wash `n Wax".

It's all I use, clear coat safe and it gives me brilliant results. The SIII AU VCT had a mirror reflection to die for, great results on black. :D Barely a swirl mark to be seen anywhere on the car. Someone's getting an excellent second hand XR. Hope it went to someone that will take good care of it. :blink:

I have found a combination of Meguirs products to always work well.

The gold class paste being one of the best and easy to apply. They have kept my cars looking good for years.

It realy comes down to what works for you, easy to apply and gives the result you want.
