RE: Keep You Truck Looking NEW!
Jimmy were you tryin to post up Moconsts wifey washin his truck lol.
wow night runner i'm very impressed. Currently with my wrangler I wash it with a good wash and I take my time and make sure to rinse the sponge everytime b4 I dunk it back in my bucket of wash. I then either dry it with soft cloth that i wash and store in a clean place then I use a spray wax like the ones that you just spray on and wipe off. I use that on about a weekly basis. then I'd say about four or more times a year I break out a good paste wax like meguairs gold class and I use that.
what are the differences between what are called "cleaner" waxes and then all the rest. I saw someone talk of that earlier in the thread about they can't be layered. but i've really never seen anything labeled as a cleaner wax. only once when i was at an autozone I saw meguairs cleaner wax. also what are pure waxes where do I get them?
I was considering moving to a three step process with a polish then sealer then a regular caranuba wax. but now my paint has gone to hell due to factory defects. my clear has begun to seperate so i'm basically fighting a losing battle to make it look good.

I just looked at your signature and youve got one of those dinky little dakotas. What are you doing in the ram forum with the big boys anyway?

I wash it ("ice" soap). I dry it (absorber chamois). I apply "ice" polish (gently wipe with mico fiber cloth). It looks really good. I repeat when dirty. My silver 04 quad cab that is. I do not think I neglect my finish.... do I?

as for the cleaner wax
the purpose ofthe cleaner wax step is to deep clean your vehicle's finish--to prepare it for waxing and polishing. another good reason to use the cleaner wax is to reveal the true depth of your vehicle's color, gloss ect. its a prep for multiple step wax systems which, with my experiance, when done correctly, look better than a 1 step wax and last longer. but it all depends on the products and conditions
