Default WR Blue - recommended cleaning / wax products?

Hi,

As the title says really!

Have recently bought a Hawkeye STI in WR blue, which just has to be kept clean and shiny!

Am currently using bog standard Turtlewax Wash & Wax but nothing else but would like to care a little bit more for my pride and joy and also achieve better results!

Can some of you WR blue owners let me know what products work best for you, in terms of shampooing, polishing and waxing etc.

Am also looking for the least labour intensive options

Any supporting pics also appreciated!

Cheers,

Steve

Everything you need to know in the sticky sections of the car care forums.

This routine works pretty well for me

1) Take the car down the Albanians for a pressure wash
2) Wash the car using the two bucket method with Meguiars Gold Class or Nxt Gen car wash
3) Clay the car down using Meguiars Clay Bar and Quik Detailer
4) Prep the paintwork using Meguiars Paint Cleaner
5) Meguiars Scratch X 2.0 on any light swrirls, scratches or blemishes
6) Polish using Autoglym Super Resin Polish
7) Wax using Meguiars Nxt Gen Tech Wax

This will take atleast a day and best split over two but the results will speak for themselves.

Poorboys Black Hole Glaze, for the swirls and some shine, then Poorboys Nattys Blue Wax or Autoglym HD Wax.
I would think the Poorboys products would be suitable, it is fordark colours, but I think WR Blue is just on the cusp of that!
