    Car Wax
    « on: May 21, 2013 - 12:40:17 PM »
    Ok, the last time I bought car wax was over 25 yrs ago (mainly because I had a motorcycle, walked or used mass transit). I drive around now in a 1995 Ford Escort for running errands (Mopar stays in garage) and change oil and wash/wax once a yr. I am not looking for any fancy high-end wax, no orbital buffing, just a wax that will stay on the car for awhile and protect. Any suggestions?

    thanks

    Clay bar it first to get it clean. Then apply a couple of coats of yellow carnauba wax.....    :2thumbs:
