Just wash, wax (I use Meguiar’s Deep Crystal System Carnauba Wax), and top with spray wax to enhance the wax that you applied (I use Meguiar’s Ultimate Quick Wax).

After weeks, if the car is not very dirty to get it washed but you wanna maintain the shiny look & cleanliness, you can use Meguiar's Waterless Body Duster, then Meguiar's Waterless Spray Detailer, and finish with Meguiar’s Ultimate Quick Wax.

P/S: I do not work for Meguiar’s :P


I can vouch that Kean's car looks fabulous.

They are all wise words above I wonder where you learnt all that. :razz:


From he & here. ;)

If I have the paint protection on the car ( the one that attaches to the paint and is gananteed for life ), could you put those waxes on over the top?
Love that car!

I have this one:

It comes with a spray that you put on every 6 months if you wish. I have a feeling that may just be spray on wax...

Hi guys,

I shall chime in on this topic only if you want me to. As some may know I do detailing, so I have a few tricks and tips up my sleeve.

But if you think it'll be annyoing, I shall keep quiet.

Some may have seen my previous posts on detailing in Maintenance section - have a read.
