I was wondering after you do a whole wash and wax job on your car, how do you keep it clean? is it ok for me to wash my car and will the wax still be there? or is it best to just use a quick detailer spray? im dumb. . .

I like to wax it and try and maintain it with detailer spray, since its ALOT less work then washing and drying everything. I would reccomend you use detail spray as much as you can. Just dont do it when the car is dirty dirty, like after you drive down a backroad or something.

But yes the wax will still be there after you wash. A few times atleast.

No such thing as a dumb question, unless it involves asking how to put a large wing on the back of your car...

Quick detailers are wonderful for keeping the "wet" look a good wax gives you. I typically wash my car every week, followed by a quick detailer to help maintain the wax/sealant and remove water spots. Once a month I'll apply a new layer of wax/sealant. If you're washing with a car wash concentrate (Meguiars, Black Magic, whatever), it won't strip the wax off. If you're washing your car with Dawn or some other dishwashing soap, it will remove the wax quickly.

Dude! I SAW that Camaro on my way back from Kiawah, SC. I guess there were no 4-door, 4-bangers available the day that kid went car shopping. Someone should tell these kids that the "F" in F-Body does not stand for "Frankenstein"!
