I really like, turtle wax ICE, it smells good.

Thats a wax bud! Just any carwash mix from advanced auto will work!

ChrisJ · June 21st, 2007, 10:52 AM

depends on what you are doing...

I use Dawn Dishwashing detergent once a year before I clay bar it and such...

My usual soap is maguiars soap...

MustangMatt96GT · June 21st, 2007, 11:46 AM

Dawn Dishwashing soap takes the clear coat slowly off!

ChrisJ · June 21st, 2007, 12:14 PM

Dawn dishwashing liquid takes the old wax off...That is why I use it before I clay bar...

You dont do a 50/50 mix...I do less than a cap full of dawn to a bucket of water...Its very dilluted...

If you use it all the time then yes it will slowly make your paint unhappy...But if you use a very dilluted slution and do it before you claybar it is fine...

I have been doing it this way for a long time...

The key though is making sure it is dilluted avery well and make sure you dont do it any other time other then when you want to strip the wax to claybar and such...It makes claybarring alot easier...

Its also a Car wash Concentrate, but yea, its a damn good wax aswell.

my favorite has always been Meguiar's Gold Class. it's high, but it works. and its just about as thick as leak sealer.

Um no its not...You wont f*ck anything up with a claybar...

You are thinking of wet sanding/color sanding...

stanglifemike · June 22nd, 2007, 12:25 PM

I used to use Zymol car wash, but cant find it anywhere, just the wax which is great stuff. Now I use Megiuars Gold Class car wash

slightly stoopid · June 24th, 2007, 11:10 PM

Claybar is not for swirls...

Clay bar just gets the impurities in your paint out (the pieces of dirt we cant see that stick to the paint)...You are sadly mistaken...They dont take swirls away...The only way for the person to even start to ahve this issue is by not properly cleaning the car prior to the claybar...

You wet sand/color sand or use compunds and a buffing wheel to get the swirls out of your paint...That is soemthing that should only be attempted by those with experience...

slightly stoopid · June 25th, 2007, 11:03 PM

clay bar cuts can fuck all the way to the clear coat, ive seen it... and claybars do help swirls and fine scrates that cut compounds cant thin..

Clay Bar is for removing impurities such as:

Rail dust - Tiny, sharp bare metal shavings that can adhere and imbed into the paint finish and cause serious damage when left untreated. Over 70% of new vehicles are transported from the factory using the rail system. In many cases, new cars are stored near a railroad and becomes infected with rail dust.

Brake Dust - Similar to rail dust, brake dust is also in the form of tiny, sharp metal shavings. In recent years, asbestos brake pads were replaced with metallic brake pads, which are actually brake pads made from tiny metal or metallic shavings. Anytime a vehicle is braking; brake dust is disbursed into the air and onto the paint finish. Since the brake dust is now actually tiny particles of bare metal, this form of brake dust can seriously damage the paint finish when left untreated.

Industrial Fallout - A general term used for pollution and can be found in many forms. Eventually, pollution settles onto the paint finish of all vehicles and can cause serious damage when left untreated.

Tree Sap, Road Tar, Bug Residue, Paint Overspray, and Acid Rain Deposits -- These contaminants adhere to or imbed into the paint finish. Left untreated, they will cause permanent damage to your car's paint work by staining and weakening the protective properties.

The clay bar does not scratch paint...Its idiots who dont wash their car properly before hand that try and blame the clay bar for their problems...
