what kind of wash/wax do you guys think is good? im getting ready to wax my car for the first time after paint. what should i use?

I use Mothers cleaners/polishers and i love the way it looks when its clean. Meguires is good too. How long has it been since it has been painted? you are suppose to wait a few months after its painted before you wash/wax it.

wait atleast 3 months before you wax

but I use BlueCoral wash
and Maguires gold class wax. Awesome stuff

NO NO NO...def bad advice. Dont use any cleaning product on it and dont wax it for three months. Just use warm water and a terry cloth (hopefully you dont use a sponge).

 

[lwhitetrash88l]

like a micro fiber cloth?

 

[shadow5403]

as long as its not a sponge.

micro fiber will work great, but yeah you want the paint to cure properly or you could be rubbing off clear coat with a cleaning agent, just warm water on a mircofiber cloth and gently go over the paint. you can probably wash with a soap after about 4-6 weeks the later for a lower quality paint
