    How do I maintain after detail?

    Just had my car detailed & want to keep up with it. I'm planning on getting a Flex soon. What are the steps on keeping this car looking good? Do I just have to wash & wax to maintain the shine?

    PW/GT - head over to the AG home page, scroll down and on the left hand side under Expert Advice, click on Auto Detailing Facts, Tips and Tricks. Tons of great info for you. Keep it washed and use a instant detailing spray like Wolfgang Instant Detail Spritz periodically to keep it looking great.

    Enjoy the Flex, I have had mine for a week and am enjoying the heck out of it.

    Wash the car nicely such as with a microfiber wash mitt and a quality car wash soap. Use a quick detail spray product after you wash the vehicle. A quick detailer is a nice way to maintain the shine and protection in between waxing sessions. Unless you don't mind waxing your vehicle every week-end, using a quick detailer is much more affordable and a lot less time-consuming.

    Re: How do I maintain after detail?

    the best way to keep a car in good shape is to wash it correctly...

    the AG store tells that tale, so i will skip...

    schmitts, lake country sponges, ONR, and a foam gun are great tools...

    Here is the deal now, I ran into a little money problem (closing on a house) & need a good wax that is easy to apply & wipe off by hand until I have enough for the Flex. So what do you guys recommend???

    DG105 is very hard to beat. DG AquaWax is even easier, though not as durable.

    I have had great results using wolfgang products by hand and machine with killer results. gizzsdad advice with DG is also good.
