hondaconvert Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 My Fusion is 14 months old. It made it through last winter with just a waxing. Is it time for real detailing, or is waxing sufficient again (or is there some in-between option)? I am on eastern Long Island, NY, so there's an abundance of salt and sand year-round. The car is always garaged when not in use. It still looks brand new. Any suggestions? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could also use something like Meguiar's cleaner wax which is a little more than just wax. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fusionff Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 A good waxing is all you'll need. If you wax twice a year, once before winter and once after winter, your car will look great for years to come. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NHFocus Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 I used to run a detailing business... As far as winter prep goes I'd recommend using Meguiars cleaner wax (liquid), wax and remove, then use a paste wax of your choice. Meguiars gold class is a decent, cheap option. The paste wax is going to be a bit longer lasting. After the winter, give it a good wash, use cleaner wax again, then use a good liquid wax about once every month. I'd recommend Surf City's carnauba blend...it looks GREAT on any car, has a decent life, goes on and comes off VERY easy, and even smells like cotton candy You can order it online or at a dealer if theres any local to you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
