ok so i am having horrible problems with cleaning the car...i literally washed it three times 2day and i cant get the car clean, the dirt and dust will literally not come off!!! idk if i was sleepwalking and waxed the car without cleaning it but i am really gettin mad. has anyone ever had this? 2moro im gonna use dish soap and remove everything and then rewax the entire car

 

d00d that crap will strip the clearcoat too, use a product called meguiars cleaner wax

 

Avoid using dish soap. Its never a good idea on car paint. If you want to remove wax I would get a quart ofPPG DX330 wax and grease remover and some soft paper towels. Almost any auto parts store that sellsautomotive paint will have it.The 330 is a very mild solvent will also remove some tree saps and road tar as well. It will not harm the paint in any way and is alot better to use than dish soap.

 

Just a few weeks ago I tried Turtle's Liquid Clay Bar. It took all the wax and dirt right off. Also took out those damn water spots. Might want to give that stuff a try.

 

thanx for the help

 

if the car goes awhile without a bath, and you have cheap soap, it wno't clean. invest in some good soap... blue coral, ice soap...

 

I had that problem on my previous car. I got a gift certificate for a complete detailing job at a local auto detailer. They waxed over dirt, and it wouldn't come off. At the time, I just let it go because it was in a spot that 99% of people wouldn't notice.

I'm with Chris on this one though.

I used Mother's Cleaner Wax on my Monte about a month ago. OMG what a difference. I didn't think there was anything wrong with my paint before I started. But as I was doing the job, it looked like there was a blue-ish haze on the paint that I hadn't done yet.

When I was done, the color was so much more vivid, it just popped. I'm a believer in the cleaner wax. Now I want to go over it again with some NXT Generation Tech Wax.

 

i was using meguairs soap and it wasnt very cheap so ill have to pick up some of the cleaner wax

 

or you can get that 3 step wax that meguiars has, 1st step cleans, 2nd step polishes, 3rd step is the wax. man thats awesome

 

get some clay bar
