Sup guys...Recently I purchased a Jeep Grand Cherokee 2012 dark grey color.just have some questions...

Which car wash would be the best for a Foam Master 1/2 gallon of course I'm looking for the soap that can give me the most foam.I used Meguiars but not very happy with it.

Wax or sealant for a new car ? I'm fond of Mothers Carnauba wax,used once on the new car,but I can give a shot on another product.

Wheels are Polished Aluminum Wheels,which polish compound/paste should I use ?

Also which rubber vinyl cleaner won't leave an oily residue ?

Thanks guys.

DP Xtreme Foam, CG Maxi Suds II, and CG Honey Dew Snow Foam are all great washes that can be used in foam cannons.

Sealants will last longer than waxes. But use what works for you.

I like Blackfire Fine Cut Aluminum Polish. There are others though.

I would use a sealant or even better yet a coating. I bet your wheels have a clearcoat, so a sealant or coating again. Duragloss 105 or 501 (it is not just for Marine) over 601 is a very durable combo. For a coating, Opti Coat or CQUARTZ. Best non greasy interior product is Ultima Interior Guard Plus! Hope this helps.

That would depend on the level of swirls in the paint, as well as how perfect you're looking to get the finish. I know you said it was a new car, but that doesn't mean it's swirl-free; believe me, I've seen some cars that needed some mild polishing after the dealership wax came off. Are you willing to live with the level where it currently is after claying? If so, then have at it without any polishing. Good luck.
