Default Products list

Now its the summer I would like to get the car machine polished and keep on top of it. What do people think to this list of products for the first proper clean of the car? My car has really bad iron on the rear nearside and rear bumper from a seized brake, so this is aimed at that.

Chemical Guys - Maxi Suds II
Chemical Guys - Strong Wash (Bug Bugger)
CarPro - Iron X
Chemical Guys Purple Clay

Then get it machine polished?

Then to maintain it after this, normal wash procedure + a wax? Then every other month polish, glaze and wax?

If you machine polish it and get the paint good and sealed with a nice wax, You should only need to to up with wax about every 3 months. Re-polishing every month will only take the wax off. You can wax it as often a you want really but it doesn't need it..

I waxed mine back in February and it still beads really well. You need to watch what shampoo you use for top up washes as some strips wax..

I'd recommend dodo juice "born to be mild".
