1) Lofty, thick microfiber towels. Several TOP brands. The thin ones have a place, I will use the lower grade towels in the wet washing stage.
2) Eagle One. You expect their products to be cheap trash. Wax and You Wash, and Wax as You Dry rock. The soap never touches existing wax and it doesn't strip protectant from polymers. Yet it lifts crusty dead stuff off paint. The Dry is just too easy, I really hate drying the car without it! Leaves existing wax, in a just waxed state and really helps protect the coating you spent all that time doing. Plus it contains metal protectant.
3) Colonite 915. I started with my first real wax job using Colonite 845. A bit disappointing. It just didn't last 2+ months. And that's with real babying during cleaning. It was a super hot sunny spring summer here, put still. OK let me be clear - there was some coating still there, but not the wax I rave about 1 or 2 weeks after waxing. Not sure why but I went with 915 next. Wow - now that is WAX. Goes on and lasts like real wax. I prepped and clayed the car, but I didn't using any other strippers (IPA). We will see how the winter goes, but still good right now.
Pabs is right on!! I've been using Eagle One products since the 90s and they're the best products I've ever used,even better than some super expensive brands I've tried.
