Good Question.. cause I know my Boo has a 97 and has stated problems in trying to find the right white color to match his 97 SSEI cause there'* at least 4 different shade of white.. so how do you know which is the right white to choose ?

Your RPO label will tell you which white you have Jr can help with this.

As far as wax is concerned, I normally use what the used car dealers use.....Liquid Glass. The stuff 'flows' to an even coat with heat, so I don't use it in winter, but on a car with virtually no clearcoat left, it'* amazing. Looks like a clearcoat. Nothing I've ever used before works as well. A day or two after you put it on, you can see the difference.

Very hard to find sometimes. About a third of my car was repainted in June (driver'* door, left passenger door, left rear quarterpanel, roof, and trunk lid). Liquid glass makes the old clearcoat match the new. Looks like the whole car was freshly painted.

where do you get this liquid glass from? I can't find it anywhere. :( I wonder if Meguiar'* "glass mirror car wax" would make it shine good too. (it says it makes your paint shine like a mirror.) Don't know how good it is. It is around $6 or so for a little container of it.

I've seen the liquid glass at fleet farm. from what i remember it'* pretty spendy

I try to wax mine up at least 3 times a year. Once in spring then again in the middle of summer then in the fall. I just don't have the time to get it done several times a month. Yeah the Eagle One brand is pretty good stuff, I also use the wheel polish they make, helps the chrome keep its shine.

i was so anal about my car when i got it. I think it got about 4 coats a wax by the end of the 6th week. and when i bought the rims about 2 weeks ago they have recieved about 3 coats so far. hate brake dust.

I used the Meguirs 3-step, cleaner, polish, wax on my '85 Olds 98. Maybe 3 times suring spring/summer. Then a detailer spray after it got washed by hand. Had a dark blue metallic paint, even after 12 years that wax made it sparkle like no other, pretty deep, too. The bonnie hasn't been aroudn long enough to get a good handwashing by me, hopefully sometime soon I'll have her all shined up.

I use Megiuars 3 step wax too. It took some of that annoying swirl marks that u can see so easily on the black paint. Using a buffer helps too.

I just bought this Meguirs Gold Class. Its the best stuff Meguirs makes (hence 9.50 a bottle) Its supposedly the "most reflective car wax" meguirs has ever made. I swear by meguirs cause my uncle works for General Motors and he says Meguirs has a contract with all the car manufacturers so they have access to the paint schemes so they can prefect their wax for every car. My uncle has a 2002 black Impala and its so damn shiny and reflective I can use it to comb my hair.
