I use Meguires NXT generation liquid O0, Meguires NXT generation Speed detail every other week. Then I also use Meguires NXT generation car wash. It's the best. No powder residue. My car is a 2007 GTI Fahrenheit.

I also have a candy white (07 18k miles) and just yesterday I able to get him all cleaned up in my driveway for the very first time. All other washes have been by machine or dealer spray washes. Anyway I used a turtle wax wash n wax combo for the soap and turtle wax ICE for the final wax. The ICE was awesome!! Plain and simple wipe it on, goes on clear, wipe it off. car looks incredible. I had to put it in the garage as I was blinding the neighbohood with the glare. BTW the stainless exhaust tips are toasted brown in color and would not polish even with stainless polish. Good Luck

yeah I also use the Meguiar's tech wax...it's pretty good...TW Ice is also an excellent choice...but definately go with the paste wax.

Keep it simple.. Black Magic Liquid Wax, looks great and is very easy to apply/buff. Plus its rated number one by consumer reports, above all other waxes noted in this post.

Anyways, I usually clay every 6 months and wax every 2-3 months. Also use Griots Garage Speedshine for quick washes and between wax jobs. Every year I apply Griots Garage Paint Sealant after I strip all the wax.

The NXT Tech Wash is great to wash your car before you wax.

Zymol waxes!

I just used HD Cleanse and the Carbon wax from Zymol. I have a reflex Silver MkV GTi. The HD Cleanse took a while to do but the carbon wax was amazing on and off like that and the car looks better then when I picked it up.

It might be expensive but definitely worth it.

I also use the Zymol Leather cleaner and conditioner, its also is amazing.

I plan on buying the clay bar from Zymol as well, shortly as I can feel that it will need it soon.

Well.. first i wash it w/Pinnacle Bodywork Shampoo then use Pinnacle Natural Brilliance pure brazilian ivory carnauba smells good and looks great. I buy it online from Autogeek.com they have some really nice products.

 

[Payness inverter]

get your wax on the honey comb grill or back emblem and its a bitch from there, so spray on the towel

 

[KarenCaren]

I do wax my car every 2 months then after 2 weeks - 1 month i will polish it. I use turtle wax gloss plat and adam's polish.

I just purchased my GTI a couple of weeks ago.
I use Griots car care

After i wash the car i use a spray on wax.

When i stop in to stock up on more stuff they always have a tip for me on how to care for my car.

My neighbor has an Audi Allroad and a Q7. He waxes his rigs every two months. He is a car fanatic. When he goes into Griots he is on a first name basis

Elbow grease forget spending $1000 for an ounce of stuff that is going to be weathered. It makes more sence to get a decent product and apply more often, if one is worried about their finish.

$1000???? My zymol wax was only like $50, Sure they have the more expensive stuff, but their $50 wax is really good to. I've waxed my car a bunch of times and I still have enough to get a few more waxes out of the jar. And I got this jar last year at this time.

Look around there is stuff out there as well as the idiots who belive it works better. Even $50 is a little spendy for my taste. Elbow grease and patience is your best friend. Maybe you should wach "Karate Kid" after you wash it. [flame].
