i was wondering how most of you guys with white cars clean them and keep them looking good?
when i bought the car it had some grease marks, cant get them off. i washed and used turtle wax but not too much luck. little better but not gone. also i tried taking the factory stripes. they done come off, and when they do they leave marks. ![]() ![]() ![]() should i try clay and polish? ive NEVER used either so any tips? this is the plan i have in mind: wash usingthis kit pretty much This post has been edited by Malhar95: Nov 18, 2012 - 10:26 PM -------------------- For Sale:OEM tail lights - make offer

well i used the meguir's paint restoration kit.
![]() started with this: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() started 1st with washing with my normal usual shampoo/wax then used as followed (in order) 1.Meguiar's gold class shampoo. cleaned it nice but still lots of imperfections. then dried with the microfiber towels provided in the kit. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 2. tried clay bar but the one provided in the kit was really tiny and it wasnt helping the issues MY car had. so i didnt bother much and went to the "Ulitmate compound" dried that. had some issues where i didnt tape up the rubber seals and i was spreading the blackness onto my paint. YOU HAVE TO BE REALLY CAREFUL IN THIS AREA 3. then just applied the liquid wax provided and dried that. not really a fan of the wax, it was really easy to come off and didnt leave the slippery feeling like the old turtle one i used. maybe its just me. ending like this: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() (same door handle from above picture)![]() ![]() ![]() did a mini noob photoshoot. posted pictured in my project thread. overall REALLY satisfied. -------------------- For Sale:OEM tail lights - make offer
