I use Meguiar's everything. Clay, wax, instant detailer, wash, everything. Just always had good experiences with them.

What color is the car? Carnauba has always been my favorite.

I prefer liquid wax because I use a Porter Cable buffer...this is also available in paste.

I'm a detailing geek. If you really want to get into it check out www.autogeek.com

They have everything you could imagine. Pick up a polish and paint cleaner to fix those spider webs.

I found this place up in in washington state called http://www.griotsgarage.com. I used to use meguiars, but a friend took me over to this joint and i never used anything else again. Pricy, but well worth the money. The outcome is amazing.

Hi SHIFT_COUPE Ive been checking out that site from what I been reading there all saying to get the webs out I have a machine is needed. From there advise im looking in the 7424XP it makes the most sence because porter cable makes it. Has a max/variable speed to 6800RPM.. and really wont damager the paint. Basically taking off a layer of clear coat. I been investigating the product have not looked into what kind of paint nissan uses yes. meaning single layer or base then clear.. but the site is excellent.... masterbeatty I will check that site out today thanks!! .. im not usually this picky of little scratches and webs but since i really love this car and plan on keeping it i want it to look showroom for summer. And the shine it has from claying and waxing this weekend is sick. I get those webs out its going to look brand new.
