Well I have always used Meguiar's cabana wax. Lots of work but a nice finish. However, a friend recently suggested Turtle Wax Ice product. Saw it at costco and decided to give it a try. It really seems to give a good shine but I don't know how well it protects especially over time. The easy of use of the product prompted me to investigate new products and technology that protect and produce a high gloss finish.

I am curious what products and techniques you use. Also with winter approaching do you apply anything special for protection from the harsher weather?

Regards,

James

My car is a dull/frosted Ravenna Green. One of these days I'll take it in my garage and spend a whole week clay/polish/waxing it, just to see how much better I can make it look. Being single stage, it may work...or I may end up getting down to the primer, haha.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) !! If anyone in the SE of England wants their teener polishing up, bring it over... I love polishing paintwork - nothing more rewarding than a couple of hours with a porter polisher and a couple of compounds (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
