So, this isn't really for my cars. I am mostly doing it for my bike. Although I probably should do SOMETHING to them. I'm really just horrible at keeping my cars clean. Being in Wisconsin, with our salt use, this isn't the best thing. I don't even remember the last time I washed a car (or the bike) let alone wax it...
So, I'm asking what is the correct or proper way to go about cleaning up and protecting the finish on a car? Keep in mind, I'm obviously the exact opposite of anal about this thing. When I do google searches, the amount of work that some people put into making their car look good seems ludicrous to me. What I want is to protect things, not necessarily make them look like they just rolled off the showroom floor. I want to put in a minimal amount of work to maintain (IE prevent rust, etc.) my vehicles.
So, what is the proper way to wash / polish / clay bar / wax? I'm not even sure thats the right order!
I'm also looking for suggestions on products too. The other day I picked up some nufinish as it claimed it was a 'once a year paint protectant'.
