Re: What to Get to detail it right:

I also like the P21S carnuba wax and if I was going to use a carnuba wax, they would be one at the top of the list and there is also a good carnuba wax sold in Harley shops that is supposed to be the same wax under a different name, maybe S1000 or something. I used it with the same results during my carnuba phase and it is about half what the P21S costs.

I use nothing but microfiber and polymer protectant now and the carnuba can be layered on top if you like but nothing beats the convenience of Klasse that is applied with a damp applicator and wiped right off. If you still have a little water around when you apply it, no problem, very easy to use with good results.

I also like to polish the truck with the Menzerna products and a RO buffer, gentle, safe, effective for minor problems like swirl marks the "professional" left behind. Nobody cares about your vehicle like you do and would charge an arm and a leg to work on the thing for a day or two, they gotta eat too.

If you really want to know how to DIY, call up Properautocare.com and ask those folks. They carry most of the finest products and are very helpful. Good luck and happy detailing.
