Default Under Wing detailing..

hey guys, I've got some kind of dirt like build up underneath the wing. I was wondering if there was a good cleaning or wax product that you could recommend to me.

I got my 98 three monday's ago, I've washed it twice, but not really detailed it yet, so any other detailing ideas that work, I'll take that advice too. This car is white, I've never had a white car, always black, so it seems easier to clean but not really!

Use a clay bar. It should make short work of that crud. It might grime up the whole bar though depending how bad the build up is.

Wash the car with a quality mitt and car wash soap
then use clay.

Clay should neve grime up the car even if there is alot of contaminants. you need to use more spray lube when claying if it is doing that.

He said grime up the bar, not the car If the car is bad, you'll def be able to see the results left on the clay bar immediately.

reason why you take a bar, and use a small portion for a section
I never have used a complete bar
wastes too much
I have over 3/4 of a fullsize bar left, and i've clayed mine like 3 or 4 times, and a couple other cars..
just keep kneeding and turning it
