They come right off with a little detail spray. I guess Ill just use a sealant on the car and keep it covered when it has to stay outside.

Whats a recommended wax that I can buy locally??

Yeah, if they are coming off, and not permanently etched to your paint, then you are doing good

Personally, I prefer a paint sealant, such as Klasse, to a Carnuaba based wax, just for ease of application, and not having to worry about white residue. The other good thing about Klasse AIO, is you can put it on plastic, glass, etc. I pretty much cover all parts of my cars with Klasse when I do my wax. Wipe on with a wet MF sponge, wipe off. Done.

Why buy locally when the internet exists???

If you're looking for an inexpensive sealant, pick up Meguiars Tech Wax 2.0. I know the word "wax" is in the name but it's not a wax, it's a sealant. They call it a wax because most people don't really understand the difference between the two so to avoid the confusion, they call it Tech "Wax." Are there by chance any sprinklers that go off anywhere near your car? Black cars = impossible to keep clean for any length of time.

where do you wash your car? It could be because of where you wash it the water you are using is hard water. The water you need to use is softened water. Also try doing a clay, polish, and a good wax. Maybe use quick detailer by Meguiars in between waxes. I use it after every wash. Don't use the was paste if you aren't familiar with it just use the Meguiars liquid NXT wax. Or Zymol. Your washing it at home huh?

You mean try a good clay and polish, then followed up by a good wax.

Uggg, dude you OBVIOUSLY have NO IDEA what you are talking about!! Who the hell waxes a car before they polish it??? Answer? NO ONE! I can only assume you don't really know what polishing is because NOBODY would wax before you polish...NOBODY and that's not a matter of opinion, it's fact. When you polish a car, it involves using a machine and a polish that contains micro abrasives that cut into the clear coat to eliminate swirls and scratches. Polishing has to be done on a CLEAN WAX FREE surface. If you wax first, polishing will take it right off so what would have been the point of waxing? The ironic thing is you calling me a dumb *** because I corrected other misinformation in one of your posts in another thread but after seeing your posts and responses, the reality is now showing. Please stop giving people wrong information as it's painfully obvious you are clueless when it comes to detailing.

Because you are doing it wrong, I dont know were you learned to detail but you need to go and re-read up the process of Paint Correction and washing a car.

You are absolutely correct.

There is a reason why people do a "Dawn soap wash" which is to remove waxes and oils from the paint before they start a paint correction detail aka using polish. You want to have a Clean surface before you polish so that you do not have any contaminants scratching your paint as your polish.

Waxing/sealant comes after polishing to cover over the virgin clear coat.

Kindaofast this is 100% correct info, if you do not want to believe it that's on you. All the info we have said is all over the web on how to guides.

I know what a polish is. I guarantee that my G looks better than yours when it comes to detail on the paint. I have never polished my car and there are zero swirls there is no right or wrong way to detail. It is what works for you thanks. I haven't had to do any paint correction on my vehicle.

I am not saying you should change your ways. But your way is incorrect.

And by the way when you touch a car washing waxing..ect you are either improving or making it worse.

If your car is a DD I highly doubt your cars paint is 100%

This is what I'm talking about, you're saying the most RIDICULOUS things. If you have never corrected your paint, there isn't a snowballs chance in hell your paint will be anywhere close to mine...not possible. Swirls just happen no matter how careful one is. Claying a car will introduce some swirling to the paint, drying does too over time it just happens. You lose all credibility (not that you have any) when you say "there is no right or wrong way to detail." That wins you the dumbest statement of the year award. Detailing is a science and the steps and order in which a detail must be done is VERY SPECIFIC. Please go onto one of the national detailing boards and say some of this stuff, now that would be fun. Keep making your insane comments, it's actually getting more fun seeing the insane things you say.

Kindaofast08 you are extremely wrong and if I was you I would just shut up and take it, you say your paint has never been corrected cause it doesn't need it well, you are either blind or ignorant what this guys are trying to explain to you is the correct way for taking care of the paint, Just like "never gone" said, everytime you use a clay bar you are micro marring the paint and you need a light polish at least to take off the micro marring you induced, i bet you the wax is just filling in the swirls to the point YOU can't see them, if you use any type of spot light you will see that your paint is not perfect.
