..Just wondering if anyone has tried NU-Finish from Can. tire - probably thinkin' I'm a cheap *** but this stuff works great for me..the wax IS probably cheap but it lasts for a long long time and shines better that when I would use like 3 mothers products and buff it in 3 stages with diff cloths..and the best part is it takes like 30 min to do the whole car with no buffing..then I just use meguiars rubber shine stuff on all exterior and interior trim, wheel cleaner for my crappy wheels and Meguiars tire shine, clean the windows and the car shines for a long time (considering I do this in the summer)...as for the best way to shine my car in the winter - pressure washer to get all that fu%en slat off!!

SHINEY CAR?
- Maguires Detailing Wax (didn't wash my car in weeks and look @ it in my sig after this stuff)
- Mother's Preserves
- Back to Black (if your car is black
) I don't know if they have RIGHT TO WHITE or HEAD TO RED...looks doubtful though.

You can do it the other way as well, just got to be more cautious not to use to much product. Or else you know what happens. I still haven't done the Jetta, maybe in spring I'll get you and the rest of the Dream Clean Team LOL to give me a hand. I really hate black on cars!

I paid one detailing service $150 for the entire car, engine shampoo wash wax and everything and they did the worst job I've ever seen - I'll never pay anyone to do what I can just do better myself..that is if I have 8 hours to wase cleaning my car.
