Hey All

I have a beige/champayne color pathfinder and I was wondering what would be a good polish and wax to use to bring the color back out because I dont know if its just me but it looks like it is fading a bit or even if its not fading, something that would give a good shine and smooth finish after wash

Also I have after market tint on the windows, are there any products that you guys use that are safe for tint besides just plain ole soap and water?

Thanks!

I haven't tried to many products out there but what I use and recommend would be stoners invisible glass for the windows and menzerna final polish II for the paint. As far as i know you should be able to get the stoners at an auto store but menzerna most likely on the internet. I'd also suggest you get a clay bar to remove any contaminants from the paint which will give it a smoother feel but that's optional

For the wax I would get collinite #476 as it will last quite a while and will give you good protection for the winter

For aftermarket tint, stay clear from cleaners that have ammonia or vinegar on them because it will degrade the film.
