Car wash/wax recommendations

Post by Laird »

Upgraded my car to a 09 Civic. I found the EX GT model with sat-nav and more buttons than a space station.
The better half insists on automatic transmission, so it's got that also.
Now I need to think about keeping it clean and polished.
Any preferred wash detergents and wax combinations? Any to avoid?

bit late but what im using on most cars at the moment is Auto Glym super resin polish then topped with auto glym HD wax.

as with everything its all in the prep so make sure the body is super clean before polishing and waxing.

nice car btw
