I also have a 2000 mustang that looks extremely good for its age, and aside from all the rock chips which I dont care about, I think it looks fine. And that was just with regular washes with nothing fancy and no protection whatsoever. I also wash my families cars, again nothing fancy, some soap and water, with a single bucket method and while they get dirty again pretty quickly, they look very good. Im honestly fine with that on the new camaro. And yes im switching to the 2 bucket method, using better drying techniques, and better soap. (Could use some recommendation on the best options for black cars) Im getting some CG citrus wash and gloss, will probably get some Meguiars Gold Class next.

Hey guys, I edited the main post to update what I have now. The only thing I think I need now is a good glass cleaner. Also need to check how good the Barrett Jackson liquid wax is, and if it's not great I'll grab some collinite 845.

I did order some microfiber glass towels. I am thinking of Meguiar's Perfect Clarity Glass Cleaner. Great reviews on that. I have plenty of Windex but don't want to use that on car glass. Also, I plan on tinting the windows almost immediately.

Not to get off topic, but for those that have a foam Canon how does Carpro Reset work with it?

Neat. I got a little handheld foamer. Trying to find some good soaps for it later after I start to run out of what I have.

Also this is kinda off topic but its my post so whatever, but theres some places around me that do Ceamic Pro coating, but the lifetime warranty package starts at $1500 and that just doesnt seem good for me. I like my car but I don't mind washing it with care every now and then. Maybe I can leverage my instagram/youtube accounts and review their work for a discount! lol. ANYWAY, does that seem like it may be worth investing in? $1500 is a lot to throw at an invisible coat. But it is a lifetime.... hmmm...

I do ceramic coatings for $450. It requires a wash, claybar, polish, surface oils removed and coating applied. For $1500 you could buy yourself awesome tools and do it yourself. A bottle of coating is about $75. I'd be interested in what the "lifetime warranty" includes.

Here is the link, just scroll down some to the packages: https://ceramicpro.com/ceramic-coati...s-ceramic-pro/ Also reading about it, it does add a hardness and protect the paint.

I’ve used both Adams car shampoo and Carpro reset with the cannon and both work the same. Might just be me but Adams seems to leave less residue on the paint but it’s not really noticeable by anyone but me when I’m drying it. As mentioned above foam cannons are not the most product-cost effective way to wash your car... but it’s fun to do every so often and a decent way to mostly-clean a very dirty car with zero or low contact to the paint. Another downside is that when you do lay a lot of soap onto the fabric top of a vert it takes quite a lot of rinsing to get it back out if the fabric. Truth be told, I use my $3 lint roller far more often than my foam cannon. |
