Message	When I really detail the shit out of my car, I'll wash it with Dawn first then blow it dry with a leaf blower. Then I'll clay it and use the Meguiars detail spray if I have it, if not, I use just some Dawn and water mixed, or car wash soap and water would be fine. Then I wash it with Dawn again and blow dry it. After that, I will scratch remove or polish it, depending on how bad any surface swirls/scratches are. Then after that...carnuba wax. I like Meguiars Gold Class. I use all Mequiars pro products when I'm buffing or polishing. If I ever get a full on paint job, or a car that's nearly brand new and ALLLLLLL the paint is absolute 100% perfect, then I will use Zaino stuff exclusively.
