i have a dark evergreen max, i want max. gloss or shine. what do you guys use to wash and wax or polish. give me some ideas what to use and how to do it.

 

check out the 5th generation forum they have a section just for that.

 

Since I got my Black '97 SE last year, I have been experimenting with what did the best job, and this is what has worked the best for me. When I do a full detail job, I hand apply Meguiar's Paint Scrub to get the car ready. To get it back into shape, I use an orbital buffer to apply 3M Machine Polish 2, which did an incredible job on my somewhat damaged trunk. As soon as that's done, I go over the whole car by hand with 3M Hand Glaze. Really hard to rub off, but it does a LOT for shine. The wax I use is Griot's Carnauba, available from http://www.griotsgarage.com. It's so easy to apply, you'd think it's liquid. At this point, the hood can be used as a shaving mirror. To add overkill, I add Finish First spray-on shine enhancer. People occasionally stop and ask me who painted my car, which sure is a nice compliment.

 

Man... i wonder how long it takes to do all that. It takes me almost 2.5 hours to wash dry, clean the mirrors, then wax the car with Meguires car wax. It seems as though you takes hours and hours...maybe 5 hours...hehe. You must have a super glossy car?
