Now I'm not much of a car detailer, some of you guys spend hours and hours and have 100 steps into making an old car look brand new. Which is great but I just don't have the patience to do so. I also don't have a buffer. The Beetle has been fairly neglected as far as keeping it clean, my aunt drove it for 10 years and there was a couple times the only time it would get washed was by the dealer every 10k miles at oil change time, although it has seen an "auto spa" several times and has been hand waxed there but it's been quite a while.
All I did to it was wash it with Armor All Wash & Wax soap - I like the stuff - and a wool mit
I dried it with "The Absorber" - Love that thing
Clay barred it with some Meguiars Ultimate Quik Wax
Used Meguiars Ultimate Liquid Wax with the foam applicator and wiped off with the supplied microfiber towel.
It took me about 1.5-maybe 2 hours start to finish. I'm very happy with the result and it was really easy. I thought with waxing a car I was gonna need a buffer and 15 different cleaners, polishes, waxes, sealants and all kinds of stuff.
The car was hit by a tire years ago on the freeway and the body shop who repainted the hood and bumper did a TERRIBLE job and used awful paint, so ignore that.
The car is not perfect, especially my detailing skills but it looks 100x better than it did this morning.
