Those of you with white cars used daily. What do you clean yours with?

The white 207 is a pain in the arse to clean this weather!! I generally use turtle wax wash and wax but it just doesn't shift the dirt on this bugger.

Buy some ceramic coating for it. Or just get some good wax and give it a few good layers

Clean it properly and wax it properly and will
Last few months. Use quick detailer or if really bad a jetwash and proper dry will do.

I just used meguiars gold class wash and wax on the fiestas and they turned out lovely.

Sometimes needed 2 quick washes one after the other. So wash, rinse, wash, dry.

Good wax is really the key to keeping a white car clean, from my experience.

I get mine washed by whatever the illegal immos use . Looks great for about 2 hours . Well worth 7 quid . Only thing is the traffic film remover has fucked my aluminium bits on my side steps

Yeah they use pretty strong shit which strips every protective coating on your car. Say goodbye to wax/diamondbrite. No thanks.

Is that right ? Is there anything decent I can put on it after they have done it ? Might start taking it to a valeter . Going to have to get side step strip painted I think unless you can buy just the strips

If you take your car to the immos, notice how they spray some shite on your car, rinse and then wash. Looks good when you get home but over time will damage your paint.

I used to do it with the company hack but after 2 years when i gave it back the black just looked grey.
