Hi,
I bought Mothers car wash/shampoo, their '3 step' solution & clay bar. Tried it out on my white car. First shampooed, after drying started with Step 1 (Polish/cleaner) using a pure 100% cotton applicator. After Step 1 i was tired. After Step 2 (Sealer)i was exhausted. Have'nt gone to Step 3
but its already made a big difference to the paint finish of my 1.5yr old car. For best result (and to cut down on elbow grease) one has to use a DA (Dual Action) machine like the Porter Cable 7424 for polishing/buffing.
