    Default Washing my car washes my wax away?

    Hi guys,

    Everytime i seem to full detail my car (wash,polish,wax), the next time i wash it and only wash it and chamois the car the wax seems to gone im using Maguires NXT Gen 2 paste along with NXT Gen car wash solution. after the first wash after the full detail it looks dirty, and has visbly marks of applied polish/wax is the a product i can use after i've waxed it to get rid of blemishes that wont harm the wax!

    the car get dirty very easly after the second wash.

    the car dosent feel smooth like when you've first waxed it and no longer has the depth or shine

    i have a black car so this is a problem to me!

    Dude check out Detail Addiction - The Car Care Enthusiasts Forum - Powered by vBulletin This is the best site for all the detailing info and they also have there own range of products.

    Edit:
    I am in no way affiliated with them, just passing on the knowledge.

    Meguirs is full of fillers which eventually wash out. Also check to see that your wash solution is Ph neutral as an alkaline wash will also strip wax.

    I use the same wax on my black ute and wash with the ultimate wash and wax, works very well and wax still seems fine after lots of washes

    Go the the site posted by Trikkben.

    Final Inspection - Auto Detailing

    Damian Angelucci runs it and is a great source of info. I recommend all his products and use them myself. He's in Campbellfield but does have an online store. Another good site is www.detailparadise.com.au

    Use a pH Neutral Wash as mentioned as it will avoid any chances of removing any waxes or sealants that are on the car.

    AS mentioned they're a few products out there which do contain fillers on the market which unfortunately do hide and do eventually wear off back to where you started which isn't good for cost factor or ego for your car!

    Car Care Products do give all Just Commodore 10% off by using "justcomm" as a voucher upon check out. We do have all pH Neutral Washes and a large range of Waxes amongst to many other products.

    If you need further help or confused just let us know via PM or info@carcareproducts.com.au

    Alternatively you could just go a Nano Based Product and make things easier for you.
