Hi Guys !

I took the good advice of everyone here and went to Canadian Tire this week-end. I bought the Meguiar car wash & microfiber mitt and Meguiar's cleaner wax.

I did not go with the 3 step wax system ... it must be better. Any tough on this ?

Warm regards from a warm Montreal !! (finally)

Remember Daniel,
It's Montreal, not the auto show. A regular coat of wax will protect the B just fine and.... get the bird droppings off fast.

Cool,

Thanks Derek, what do you think of Meguiar's wax product compare to the old turtle wax products ?

best

Oh!! I didn't want to say anything but...... I just finished up with one of my old Turtle wax (Excaliber) paste waxes. (I keep things far too long )
Mothers or Maguiars... they're all very good and I'm sure there are others that protect really well. Right now I'm using Mothers Gold. Cheers, Derek

ps:I'm sure you'd get a lot of responses if you posted your detailing questions in the" Detailing and car care" Forum above us.

Is it possible to get the Meguiar's 3 step wax system as a package? I think it might be cheaper to buy the whole package together rather than the 3 individually. The 3 step system is sold separately at CT. There is no mention of the use of claybar. Is it necessary?

[Derek Lecours]

If you feel your paint has deep dirt and oxidation, then the claybar will definitely help.

If you read through the detailing forum, you can pick up a ton of info.

Bon Ami, have I got a tip for you.
I use Bon Ami cleaning powder on the windows when they are smeared or oil / gas stained.
Bon Ami has been used on the space shuttle windows and by windshield wiper manufacturers to test their wipers.
It is a natural, non toxic, inexpensive product that does not scratch. If you want transparent windows, try Bon Ami cleaning powder Bon Ami
