Dont think its been done before...

What do you guys use to keep your rex's shiny? (Products, etc.)
How often?
What products have you tried in the past and what kind of results - Good, bad, disaster, showroom shines?

Ill start it off... I tried zymol on a few of our cars a while back, looked brand new after about 5 - 6 hrs of work. The stuff's a bit pricey but was worth it for the much needed detailing some of the cars needed.

Any one used zymol successfully/Unsuccessfully ?

i use turtle wax and wash, turtle wax and polish, and news paper for windows.
pressure cleaner for rims. wash once or twice a week depending if its been raining.
i used kitten window shine to later find out its ammonia based

I have found maguires products to be the shit. No complaints about any of their products, They may be a little more epensive than some of their competition but the end result is worth it

Wash: Plain water
Polish: Auto Glym Super Resin + Plexus

Meguiar Hot Rims cleaner is teh shizzit, works soooo well, rhino washes are good enough for me for the ol weekly clean then when it comes time to detail do it by hand with meguiars stuff

Swissol.

Meg's offers good BFYB but doesnt last as long as the other stuff. That said, those premium products can be a fair few $$ more!

Wash really well - clay bar - wash again - colour boost - wax - wax again 12hrs later - wash - wax!

That system has never let me down

Best thing that i find is wake up real early so its cool like 6

then take a bucket and got laser wash...give your car a real good rinse...then fill your bucket up with water and buy macguiers (simply the best) wash you car real good then rinse it real well....

The best finish depends on you chamois technique.....i dry it there and then....then i drive home and with a moist chamois (i have the maguires one) go over your car again.....

easy and simple and it will look as new (then evey 3 months get it proffesionaly waxed and polished...its cheaper than you think). Call Luke from Nu-Finish (0433 188 792) he has never let me down.
