Helppp....

So it is almost a month since I got the car.. did my own washing and detailing.. And put wax on it.. I do make sure my car is clean everyday or do it every 2 days or 3.. using meguiars ultimate quik detailer to maintain it.. The question is.. When I want to wash the car again? What should I do? Since I waxed the car.. What process of washing do I need to do?

just wash normally.

2 bucket method or with the use of foam cannon or high pressure wash.

since your car is waxed, water should bead and drying will be easy.

remember to use new clean towels when drying

maintain with QD as always

If you're washing that often, optimum no rinse will become your friend quickly. If you're really wanting to maintain a show car finish, invest in quality Korean microfiber towels, it'll be the best investment you can make in protecting your car from wash induced swirls/scratches. If you ever need info about detailing products themselves hit me up.
