What to use now to maintain vehicle?

[mo5751]

Today I clayed, sealed and waxed my car. I could not be happier. My car is an outside car and daily driver but like 10 miles a day if that.

I plan on doing this process every 3 months.

But i usually do washes weekly. What can I use on every wash to help maintain the protectants and keep my car looking nice.

A detailing spray would help the drying process as well as increase protection between washes.

Spray wax like meguiars ultimate spray wax or optimum spray wax. That will "boost" your current LSP and keep it looking just-waxed fresh.


But above all else: make sure you are washing correctly using a two bucket method with grit guard inserts, a known good wash media, a soap with adequate lubricity, anda a method of drying that requires minimal touching of the paint.

Give the car a quick spray down with a quick detailer like FK425 while drying.

Ok thanks everyone so while I am drying the car and its still wet I spray the detailer and then dry away?

UWW+ works well for this and is dirt cheap. Not to mention it will help clean up any spots you could have missed and works well on glass.

DG 951 AW spray wax.
Man it's so easy to use, almost disappears on you in seconds while wiping it on, hard to see anything left when removing.
It will give you a big boost in protection each time you use it.
Leaves the paint with a high gloss slick finish.
You can use it on paint, glass and even trim, it won't damage the trim whatsoever

Duragloss Aquawax is formulated to wax after washing in one easy step. Duragloss AW produces a high gloss, durable finish with minimal effort. Aquawax contains no abrasives and is clear coat safe.

This is Duragloss’ most popular product! Duragloss Aquawax produces a deep, wet gloss on clean paint. On an already waxed finish, Aquawax deepens the reflection, enhances the shine and increases slickness. This is a synthetic sealant spray with the gloss of a wax.

Duragloss Aquawax (AW) #951

Best I've used as of date.

I'm sold.

That's what I do. A spray wax will bring up the shine some, so why not? its only about 5 to 10 minutes of work. You can get the Aquawax rinseless carwash, with the AW in it, then you don't even have to do the spray wax. I like the Aquawax product, but probably 80% of the spraywaxes out there are at least OK.

Right now I've been using ONRWW (two bucket method) and drying with duragloss auqawax.

Takes me 30 minutes total and my car looks great. I'm using it to maintain DP Max Wax.
