How in the hell...

Do I keep my car shiney!?

Compared to the other TB cars, mine is lighter and doesn't vary in color much, compared to the newer TBs.

:mad:

huh?

I believe TB is True Blue? I use Maguires wax on my Stangs. It is clear coat safe and has UV protection.

zymol works good for me.

I have always stood by Eagle One products. I have tried literally everything on the market and I keep coming back to Eagle 1. After every wash with their soap, I always use some Wipe n Shine with a soft terry cloth. I wax twice a year, once around late March (gotta fight the Texas sun) and once late October following each wax with a clay bar treatment. For those of you who have not used a clay bar I highly recommend trying it. If you lightly run your fingertips across the hood of you car and can feel anything rough or bumpy, you have debris embedded in your clear coat that regular washing and waxing doesn't pick up. The clay bar removes these particles and returns the surface to a smooth glasslike finish. With all the junk floating around in the atmosphere and landing on your precious paint job a clay bar treatment is a must at least once a year. Eagle 1 also makes and awesome wheel cleaner called A2Z and a sweet Tire Shine that you can use with these handy little Tire Swipes that keep the tire dressing off your hands. ( You would think that I work for Eagle One but hey, the stuff works and I would recommend it to anyone.) They make a wadding polish called Nev R Dull. It works wonders on those chrome pipes. Just ask skooter!:D

That chrome polish in a can works wonders. I need some more of that stuff by the way Shibby! Hey I also noticed a couple of bugs stuck on the front nose. Get out there and clean that off!!!! Is there a product out there that gets crud like bugs and tar off?

[shibby]

Out of all the bug and tar removers out there, I have not seen one that impressed me nor have I seen one work better than the other. Don't waste your money on ANY of that stuff. 3M makes a product called General Purpose Adhesive Remover(part #08984 I believe). This stuff is magic. It works on bugs, tar, emblem adhesive, even old duct tape residue. I GUARANTEE you won't find anything better (that won't remove the paint along with the crud)! Peace out.........

I've found that Zymol gives me a good shine but I've heard some many good things about www.zainobros.com products so I'm going to try their wax also.

Yes, the Clay Bar Kicks ass, it is time consumig but well worth the effort. Here is what i did when i used the clay bar. First, I cleaned the whole car with Dawn dish detergent, this strips the old wax off & a bunch of other crap. Second, I used the clay bar system. Then i finished everything up with Meguiars 3 step system, car looked awesome.
