Their Best of Show Wax (phenomenal finish) Their "Speed Shine" detail spray Their clay Price, about $200 and free shipping. If you are serious about restoring your finish, this is a great kit. From start to finish, it will take you a good 8 hours to complete. Starting with a wash, use Dawn dish soap to strip any old wax off your paint and de-grease any oils on the car. (Yes, it's perfectly safe to use Dawn to wash your car. But only use it for the soul purpose of stripping old wax off the car.) Wash and rinse the car thoroughly. While the car is still wet, proceed to clay the car while using the detail spray to aid lubricity. Clay every surface of your paint, lights, and even the glass. After you're done, rinse the car thoroughly again. Then with a 100% cotton towel, dry the car completely. After you're done, bring it inside and start prepping for the polishing part. I won't explain it further. If you go on YouTube there are several videos on the Griot's Garage channel that explain how to properly polish your paint, and also apply the wax with the orbital buffer. Even if you use another product, they're still cool to watch. You can pick up a lot of useful tips just by watching. That's what I did with my car last weekend and this is the result.
