We had great weather yesturday here in Morrisiville so I decided to wax my old Acura TL

I started at 5 to pick up some needed supplies from Wally-World ( Wal-Mart) and had finished washing the car by 6:30

Waxing for me is a three-step process, the first is the clay bar, it feels like playdough but its important for removing any ground in tar, old wax, sap and road salts. The second is a coat of mequiars cleaner/polish and then two coats of next tech paste wax. Finally a hand buff. I finished at 10:30 Am

BTW Pearl White is a very hard color to maintain. So I would be cautious about buying one, especially a used one in that color.

Next week I get to work on the wife's hybrid. Fortunately for me her car is a bit smaller with a neutral sandy color and will be a breeze to wax.
