Sup guys...Recently I purchased a Jeep Grand Cherokee 2012 dark grey color.just have some questions...

Which car wash would be the best for a Foam Master 1/2 gallon of course I'm looking for the soap that can give me the most foam.I used Meguiars but not very happy with it.

Wax or sealant for a new car ? I'm fond of Mothers Carnauba wax,used once on the new car,but I can give a shot on another product.

Wheels are Polished Aluminum Wheels,which polish compound/paste should I use ?

Also which rubber vinyl cleaner won't leave an oily residue ?

Thanks guys.
 
car may need clay first - even when new

ultima wash or chem guys glossworkz work well

blackfire total polish and seal followed by black fire Wet diamond sealant

mothers wheel wax

poorboys natural look for trim

but do a lot of reading here before you jump in...
 
Another question sorry,so if it's new paint just a wash>clay>sealant>wax.Should be enough or should I throw something else.

Thanks
 
Duragloss is a great soap the marine version suds like crazy in my foam gun (I'm sure 901 would as well just haven't tried so can't say). I agree with others bout clay and maybe light polish.
You can't use wax or sealant or both there are so many options it really is personal preference but to name a few: blackfire sealant and midnight sun, duragloss 501, 105 or 111, optimum opti seal, four star upp, collinite 845, finish kare 1000p, dodo juice supernatural hybrid
Use duragloss 501 on wheels will clean and protect
Interior I like finish kare 108 or optimum protectant plus

For me, hands down, is the Detailer's Pro Series Xtreme Foam Formula Auto Shampoo . This soap was formulated for high amounts of foaming when agitated with air.

I like Glen's suggestion. I would recommend claying the car first, then using BLACKFIRE Total Polish N Seal or BLACKFIRE Gloss Enhancing Polish to clean the paint. Follow with with Wet Diamond All Paint Protection. BLACKFIRE Car Care Products - New & Improved for 2012!

Most factory (OEM) wheels, even if they are polished aluminum, have a clear coat over them. Take a little metal polish (or car polish) and rub an inconspicous spot. If the spot turns black, then you are polishing metal. If it remains clear then you are polishing clear coat. If you are polishing aluminum, give this a shot: Optimum Metal Polish 8 oz., new formula
