Waxing????
This is probably a silly question, but here goes.....on the phone, before I picked up my car, the sales manager mentioned something about a coating that I had added, where I would not ever have to wax. Should I still wax? And, if so, what should I be using?

What coating is it? I know from experience that if it the product is Xzilon it isn't worth the money they charge you for it.
Saying that I personally would wax myself using the Glen E method.

I tell ya, I'm no car geek....90% of the time I take it to someone to hand wash for me...every once in a while I get a wild hair, and do it myself!

I totally agree Glen E's method is awesome.. I still have to do my Silverado truck with Glen E's method but I have already done 6 vehicles with this method and they all look fantastic!! I bought all the suggested products in Glen E's detailing papers and I also bought both the 3 and 6 inch random orbital's from Griots ( love both random orbitals btw)! The reflection on these vehicles after using the products that Glen e. suggested is fantastic!!

I love it for intricate grill work and the rear end of a car....so handy.....the 3 inch orange pad is great as a hand applicator too....

Just detailed my sisters Grand Caravan two weeks ago and she told others that I detailed her car. I now have had people ask me how much I would charge them to detail their vehicles too. Thanks again Glen E. ,as I love how my vehicles now look after doing exactly what you said I should do to detail my cars.
