This theard has a poll for hand buffing versus the electirc hand buffer there is a poll and feel free to post your thoughts about what product or methods you may prefer to BUFF(or wash) the Beautiful Lancer. Like us all we need opinions to make the best choice.

who ever said peer pressure was bad is...............crazy !

 

I don't see a poll, NEVERMIND! It just popped up

 

I personally like to do it all by hand, washing and waxing my car. Elbowgrease

 

sorry ....... i heard the electric buffer may kill the clearcoat with swirls!

 

what do you like about it .... maybe product suggestions

 

like about what? I like meguiare's

 

i hear there products are one if not the best

 

I like the way the cars finish feels when I'm all done after I use that stuff. I just did the whole car tonight and finished about an hour ago. I can't really drive it right now since the engine is apart and the car was dirty so I figured I could at least make it look good while its sitting there.

 

for sure how long do you take to do your Lancer

 

I prefer to hand wash, clay, polish and wax my car. Nothing beats spending a couple hours outside on a warm day with some beers just cleaning the car. I use Meguiars stuff, its pretty good, if want the best of the best I've heard Zanno or whatever it is to be the highest quality, and most expensive stuff. It usually takes me like 3 hours or so to do everything, wash, clay, polish, wax and clean out the interior.

 

took me like 2 hours

 

Clay?

 

Go to http://autopia-carcare.com/ and look at their description. Basically its how to make the car have that glass type finish.

 

clay removes surface contaminents such as oxidation, pollution, bird poopoo, etc etc. just make sure you use ALOT of detailing spray to thoroughly lube the sucker.

a few times a year i suggest you use meguiars 3 step paint cleaning system. basically it consists of a paint cleaner, then polish, and finally wax to protect. nothing quite like it

 

cool thanks thats a good tip!
