Cleaner Wax
When is it too early to use a cleaner wax. I bought my car new in November, and it had a pin stip on it. Well I removed the pin stripe, and there is still a little bit of residue on it, even after washing a couple of times. It is supposed to be a VERY nice day tomorrow, so I figured I would give the car its first wax (maybe even remove some badges). I am just not too sure if it would be good to use the cleaner wax and a wax, or just wax.

If you get a cleaner wax that is "clear coat safe" you should be alright I think. I am not an expert though.
I don't by a product unless it says "clear coat safe" or "safe for all finishes including clearcoat". Those type of cleaners are not very abrasive. I like mothers products and meguires. I use other stuff now (not availalbe in a local store), but have had good luck with both those products. You can check www.properautocare.com for info on detailing. http://www.properautocare.com/detailingtips.html http://www.properautocare.com/polish.html (towards the bottom) Paul G. |

I'd use some GOOGONE to remove the adhesive then follow up with a good glaze and wax.

Yeah, I agree with JustDSM. Use GooGone or a bug and tag remover first. Washing doesn't always get the sticky stuff off. I'm partial to Meguiars Professional Products and they can also be bought on-line.
Properautocare is too pricey for me. Meguiars Car was $7.95 on their sit and Meguiars sells it for $5.99. If that's indicative of their pricing their a little out of line. They do however have all the gadjets and a lot of good info. |

i would use goo gone or wd40 to take off the residue
and wax afterwards. i use cleaner wax every 3-4 months when there's gunk i cant get off with a claybar. but usually i use it only as a spot wax application and use soft carnuba wax (sp?) on the entire car. unless you wash your car a lot with detergent, you dont need to wax the car that much either. im planning to try some polymer wax this summer.... any recommendations on polymer wax? |
