Detaling clay is the same as a clay bar, Car wash soap you want something with a sheeting technologly.

I've heard really good things about the Meguries Professional line Yellow Carnuba Wax, #26. I was thinking i'll try it next time I wax the Monte. Any thoughts on that stuff?

Looks like a chart everyone should follow. I normally just pressure wash it with water and some soap from little 75cent self washes, dry up go home, spray some more water on it, use zymbol, and wax, and that's it. Now, I'm trying that zaino stuff, I think both are great.

I've used Zymbol cleaners wax a few times. It works really well! It even smells good. LOL!

I was a huge fan of Zymol back in the day when I first started detailing. I loved how it smelled and of course, loved the results it gave me. I didn't care for all the dust it created but it was so worth it, or so I thought, once I was done. I've sinced moved on to bigger and better things and haven't looked back since.

Sheeting is dependent on how you do your final rinse, the type of wash you use is not what makes the water sheet off. Wash with whatever soap you have and when you do your final rinse, flood the paint (rinse the car without a nozzle on the hose, letting the water flow freely while holding the hose just a few inches from the surface of the paint). The water will sheet off, leaving very little for your to dry off.
