New here. Need help with washing/detailing TT
Hi, new to the forum. Looks like a nice place to learn :) Bought a 2006 27' Salem TT. This is the first TT (of any kind) that I've ever owned. I got it out this weekend to wash it...it had a few...

good point , larry .
it is better to keep 'em clean , using any product , than leaving the dirt on .
people rub up against the dirt and grind it into the (clearcoat ) finish .
i use alot of palmolive to thoroughly wash my tires and wheels every week .
that keeps the black disc brake dust from making my wheels ugly .
for civilians that do not have car geek tendencies , i have found that using liquid " ICE " by turtlewax to be an extremely easy protectant (wax, kinda ) to apply after i wash my cars in winter .
ICE is especially good to use if you use dishwash liquid to wash your car .
it is better to have something like "ICE" to protect my clearcoat finish than nothing at all .
it is the easiest product to use , not the best .
that means for me that i use it very frequently between serious detail sessions .
the car geeks all use a clay bar ( many manufacturers , mine is meguiars ) followed with a protective wax (lots of brands ) on their paint .
the clay bar removes the invisible gunk that is on the paint , and it takes out the tar , bugs , tree sap , and other serious defects.
most folks don't want to put in that work .
i find the shine is proportional to the labor put into the effort and less dependent on the " high quality name brand product " that is used .
