Default Re: Thinking of using clay bar then waxing. Which brand do you use?

I like Meguiers stuff. Doesnt leave a streaky film usually and if it does a clean cloth quickly buffs it off to a brilliant shine.

They sell a special spray wax detailer stuff (i think turtle wax brand) that is meant for black vehicles to give it a deeper black look. I use it on my black 2017 silverado and it does make a noticeable difference.

Whatever you use make sure it says it helps prevent UV damage. Not all do.

Also a quick tip if you get dried white wax on things that it shouldnt be those magic erasers (get store brand for 1/2 the cost) work very well on removing the dried wax along seams, textured surfaces etc.

clay bars do leave a buttery smooth surface but your paint better be good - no rust. Rust will embed in the clay and scratch the crap out of the rest of the car. Also if you fumble and drop the bar on the ground throw it away as it will get 1000 rocks dust etc stuck in it and scratch the paint.
