What is the best Car wash? WAX?

I have a black nissan rogueWhat is the best Car wash? WAX?
I happen to be a fan of Meguiar's. The provided link will custom match which car wash and wax is perfect for your vehicle.

Most car wash liquids are fine. Just never use dish soap.


The key to avoiding swirl marks is in the type of cloth you are using to scrub and dry.


Never use a terry cloth or anything cotton to wash or dry your car. Also, always try to avoid automatic car washes that are not 'touchless' and never use the brush in a manual carwash. You will have scratches and swirl marks, galore.





I do car detailing on the side, and here is what I do to really clean your car up and make it look brand new.





First, you will want to purchase the following:


1) Absorber or Chamois (to dry your car). ($5-$8)


2) 4 Micro-fiber applicators ($4)


3) 8 Micro-fiber towels (not terry-cloths) ($5)


4) Meguiars Clay bar kit ($14)


5) Meguiar's Car Polish ($7)


6) Meguiar's Carnuba Wax, Tech wax, or Gold Class wax ($7-$14)


It sounds expensive, but this should last you at least a year.





Step 1 - After washing your car manually (I just use the pre-soak, high power soap, and rinse power sprayer for an extended period of time), use the absorber to dry immediately.


Don't worry too much about water marks if you are going to wax.





Step 2 - In a shaded area, use the clay bar kit and follow directions on the box.





Step 3 - wash and dry car again to get any excess clay or detailing spray off of vehicle. (step 1)





Step 4 - Again, in a shaded area make sure your paint is cool and apply car polish in a circular motion with micro-fiber applicator on all paint. Try to avoid plasic or rubber, as it will stain these areas if not wiped off immediately.





Step 5 - Use Micro-fiber cloth to wipe off polish.





Step 6 - Repeat steps for and 5, except using the Wax instead of the car polish.





The Car polish will bring out the deepness in your color. The wax protects the clearcoat.





It might seem like a lot of work, but if you do this 2 times a year (I do it once after winter and once before winter), and wash your car once a week, it will almost always look nice.





For the interior, you can get anything from Armour All to Meguiars interior protection. Just use a micro-fiber applicator and you should not have to worry about scratching the plastic.
I like the Mr. Clean automatic drying car wash system. It has a drying agent that eliminates the need for toweling the water off of your car. I don't necessarily think that it eliminates the need for a bucket and sponge though.


As far as the best wax, NuFinish is the best.


Look at the site below to find more information about products that remove/reduce the appearance of scratches on the seats. As far as getting gunk off of the seats or vinyl interior, Mr. Clean Magic Erasers (or generic equivalent) work very well, just wear gloves when you use them to scrub because they are abrasive to your skin.





Happy CarWashing!
McGuire's deep Chrystal easy to use and shines like a bowling ball you'll love it, eagle one for the car wash smells great and works awesome, for occasional touch up waxing get Lucas slick mist very easy to use smells great. we build Corvettes (custom) and are at premier car shows with them and the products I've mention reign supreme
