I'm a new NSX owner (2 months) and I may be sounding like an idiot here, but I don't know anything about car washing/waxing/detailing etc, etc (clay bar, polish, etc). Before you yell at me for not reading through the forums first to look for my answer... I HAVE, and I really don't see anything in the "car care and detailing" section about this.
So let's start and maintain a thread concerning anything and everything about the exterior caring/detailing of the NSX.
All I have at this point are microfiber cloths for washing and chamois for drying, and Mcquire Auto-Detailing spray (and a microfiber cloth for that)... and a California Duster.
I don't even know what SOAP to buy! (what brand names to buy... what ingredients to stay away from... etc)
I realize there are 2 main kinds of washes...... a standard wash/dry that you do every weekend or so... then a more detailed process performed every once in a while including more steps than just the "weekend wash/dry".
And I kind of need tips for BOTH processes!
So the standard "weekend wash/dry".... What kind of soap do you use? What kind of rags do you use? Chamois or microfiber for drying? Does anyone squeegee first to get the mass of the water off? Wheel/rim products? Auto-Detailer sprays/procedures? Engine detailer sprays? Anything else??
And for the more complex and advanced detail/wax process (or clay bar, polish, etc)... Again, What products names? Your particular procedures? Do's/Dont's? Etc?
I've seen people talk about how they "wash/clay/polish(rarely)/wax"... while others "wash/clay/polish(rarely)/sealant/glaze/wax"??????
I've never clayed or polished or buffed or waxed a car in my life (I think I remember waxing my Prelude once or twice 10 years ago), so I figure whatever advise you guys give me, I will try out first on my Altima coupe (also black) and see how that turns out!
I just want to do things right. And I just want my black NSX to shine like glass! (and disguise whatever imperfections are there)
