Hey everybody! My name is Bob and just bought a new '08 Black Base TL. I owned an '05 TSX previous and have always wanted the TL but hate the new design so it was time to buy the model I love.

Anyway, I am very meticulate on how I take care of my cars. I have been reading this wash/wax thread and I am stunned at how much is out there! I was wondering what type of car wash you guys use that you can pick up at an AutoZone or other automotive store. I have been using the Mr. Clean wash system and loved it but after reading around here, sounds like I need to use the bucket system. I don't want to mess up my new ride so want to know what all I need to get to keep it looking great.

 

Any name brand, be it Mother, Megs, Armor All, Turtle Wax should suit you fine. Also consider a sheepskin washmit (natural, not synthetic). Waffle Weave Drying towels, quick detailers, and spray waxes for your wash routine.......

 

I personally like Meguiar's Gold Class Wash for OTC but Eagle One Car Wash is pretty nice as well.

 

Bob.....first of all welcome to AZ!! As you have found out has a wealth of info in it. I use the Armorall wash soap......it suds up nicely and is a good price........
And yes........always use the two bucket method.
