Well now that spring is just around the corner i am looking into getting my car back to shinny condition

buy a good cleaner wax, and be prepared to rub your arms to death... mothers cleaner wax is what i use, it basically takes impurities (like oxidation) off the top layer of paint. When i bought my car it was oxidized on the hood and roof, and after a day of uising the cleaner wax, and then sealing it up with a regular wax, the car looked awsome. Its clearcoat safe as well.
EDIT- Dont forget to use a reguar wax right after, because the cleaner wax strips off all the old wax, and leaves your finnish unprotected. This post has been edited by saleeka: Mar 11, 2004 - 10:10 PM -------------------- Car #3: 98 Accord LX- purchased 5/06, totaled 8/06
