What's your take on cleaner wax, and hand application?

Ah thanks. Yeah it has really pained me that for the duration my car's 6 year life span I have to park it outside and that really imposes an upper limit of "how shiny" can be sustainable. I suppose I'll stick to the turtle wax for now and someday... SOME DAY will get around to taking the swirl marks out and fixing everything....
I say, if it's your DD and park outside all the time... Do this... IMPROVE YOUR WASH/WAX PROCESS. This is probably the best you can do for your car.
Wash:
- pressure wash if you can, if not just rinse down your car, TOP DOWN.
- foam gun the car to break down the dirt
- DUAL bucket wash with GRIT GUARD
- FRESH MF on EVERY wash, no sponge, TOP DOWN
- rinse MF after every 1/2 panel
- rinse TOP DOWN and sheer the water
- dry with FRESH MF, TOP DOWN
Wax:
- FRESH applicator pad
- apply, not RUB/SCRUB
- user SUPER soft/fine FRESH MF to buff
Costco MF is only good for interior and wheels... Keep that crap AWAY from your paint!

Leo sold me a Super Plush microfiber back 3 or 4 months. Let me give you an idea how soft it is! You can sleep with it! That's how nice it is.
