Every time I wash my car I get disappointed. The black must be the worst for swirley marks and such. I think Mitsu uses the cheapest paint with like hardly no clear coat.

Spend the $$$ on those top quality swirl remover waxes and polishers...they work, specially on black...

I think someone should show me how to wax...

What products are you suggesting?

Meguires 3 step is my preferred choice.

Wash car thouroughly.
Clay the whole dam car.
Use step one - cleaner wax
Use step two - polish
Use step three - sealant wax

Total time = ALL DAY
Price $25
Having your car bling like new = PRICELESS

I have a clay bar with no idea how to use it. Is there anything out there to teach an idiot like me how to wax!?

That site is not veery conclusive. It is like an advertisement for their products.

well most waxes and polishes need to be applied in a swirling motion, then let dry and then buffed out, either by hand or machine. I've only done this once this year though.

I just did the Meguiars 3 step wax over the weekend with a clay bar and my car looked SOOOOOOOOOO much better. This stuff for the money is very good and i could actually see each step making my car look nicer.

The Meguiars stuff is awesome, that's what I use. The only thing I've found that's better is Zaino's, but it costs so much that I just can't justify using it.

Anybody have any preferred products for the interior wipedown? I've started using the 303 stuff, and does a really nice job.

zaino only for me. waxing a white car is very un-rewarding.
