Would any appearance pro be willing to share their secrets to maintaining optimal appearance? Waxes, polishes, brands, anything? This novice would be most appreciative.

Clean & wax it more or less every week or so to maintain a high gloss finish

try to avoid a pressure washer & do the job by hand

Oh.....and use a clean sponge

I use the following and it looks great!!!-

Autoglym Shampoo conditioner-bodywork
Wonder wheels-Alloy wheels
Turtle wax all black-wet look tyres
Autoglym super resin polish-bodywork
Turtle wax clear glass-windows
Autoglym bumper care-all plastics

Hope this helps

Paul.

p.s. ALWAYS RINSE THE CAR WITH WATER BEFORE WASHING!!!!
