I use macguires. Personally keep finding that quality carnubra wax gives the best and longest lasting protection, despite all these synthetics coming out.

If this is your first time, would recommend getting a clay kit and going over the car with that first. Then paint cleaner, polish, wax.

Then maintain the wax with meguires quik detailer. This will keep the fresh waxed look/ feel and shed the water off the paint like a duck. Also get a product for the windscreen like rain clear which sheds water off the windscreen. You look like the man when you're driving through heavy rain and don't need to use the wipers.

The above is a once yearly process. Then just wax monthly and quik detail weekly (takes 2 mins).

If he doesn't have time for that, he needs to divorce his wife and quit his job.

I've been using a cat, but chamois would work much better, and my arms wouldn't get clawed as much.

Yes I do, I spent lots of money on my car so I want to take good care of it. Plus I like shiny things.

Obviously clean it before any of this happens. Also, depending on the colour, you might want to degrease it, use a bit of turps to get the tar off.

What about the rest of the car?

You will still look like a loser if you're windscreen is shedding water but the rest of the car is not.

People will probably laugh at you as you're driving along.

Out of interest do you lot buy online, or just head down to supercheap/repco. I find my local supercheap has a rather lacking selection.
