How do u guys clean ur white cars ??

[supersteve]

Hey guys. I got a white ep3 and i washed it the other day. I realised that after i washed the car i still have dirt / stains on the paint on the roof of the car, on the wing and a lil on the front of the car. Is there anything special any of u blokes use to get this crap off (types of washing deterg, cleaner products) or do i have to scrub for ages each dot to get it off ??

PLEASE HELP ME >_<

[-Ad-]

do u have meguires claybar ? use it once u have finished washing the car and dried the surface. that did the trick for me when normal soap wasn't strong enough.

Yup, use the claybar with the quickdetailer then wax the car so it lessens the chance of dirt staying on next time. White cars are one of the easiest to maintain..

White cars prolly the easiest to maintain.. but..

you claybar.. the whole car using either the quick detailer.. or using soap suds from a mixture of water and carwash..

then wax on wax off rince and repeat like the karate kid.

steve - yes, as stated above, teh claybar (even though it is $40) is a very important tool in cleaning your cars paint.

however, the claybar removes all the protectorants from the surface too, so you must re-apply polish/sealant/wax if you use it...

For my car, it takes me 1-2 hrs to wash it alone.

I wash it 2-3 times thoroughly.


Then depending on how i feel, i will use the clar bar and that takes about 2 more hours.

Then rinse again and then chamois.


Then cut and polish and then wipe off.

Then wax and buff out.

wash x 2
clay bar x 1
chamois x 1
polish x 2
wax x 2

who knew 5 - 6 hrs could go so quickly. lol.
