sometimes the soap and water can leave a little more shine to be desired

i know they use some sort of spray after the wash as well to wipe it off and really shine it up...anyone know what its called?

can i get it at wal mart? if not, where?

Any spray detailer, find a brand of your liking and pic it up at wal-mart or any auto store.

Yea and there is another thing called wax lol, seems to shine up the car really good and protects the finish.

I use meguires spray detailer and meguires spray wax in between regular waxing. The spray wax is a spray on-wipe off, and it does a good job and its easy to work with. I buy it at auto zone.

once you have a good coat of polish and wax on the body you shouldn`t really need anything spray on. i usually wax about once maybe once a month and a complete strip with dawn then polish and wax maybe every 3 months(depending on the weather in your state). after that, i just use water to wash then dry with a microfiber towel then go over it one more tim with a completely dry microfiber cloth. and i cant complain with the results, but if you definitely need a spray on, try TURTLEWAX ICE.

Yeah but you live in a very nice place..:D Actually this stuff is designed for doing it in between wax job's and it does work very well, some say ICE is bad but I use it and its great! I have a silver car and I never see any yellowing.

I used Maguire's NTX and that stuff ain't that great, I always found layers upon layers of pollen stuck to my car. With the ICE it blew right off as soon as I got up to speed.

Also with the NTX you must use it in very cool conditions or it dries fast and leaves nasty swirls and streaks that are a pain to get off. I have already left ICE on another car I used to own and it did no harm and was not visible at all.

yes, i went through a whole bottle of the ice. i do think it works great. i have some pics that i took after using it too. pretty shiny. it dosent dry with that whitey power either if i am remembering right, its almost clear when it dries.

You are looking for a spray detailer, such as Meguiar's Quik Detailer. You can get it at Walmart or any auto supply store.

I've also used ICE, and it works good for me. I have found that by spreading it on very thin, it seams to shine better, and definately removes better, when you dont apply it liberally.

Menzerna High Gloss Acrylic Shield (http://www.detailedimage.com/store/product_info.php?products_id=104)works great for me. It leaves a thin layer of sealant on the surface that enhances the shine and protects the paint. It's a very easy spray on and wipe off product that looks great each time!

I've been using Mother's California Gold for a little over a year and it's fantastic.

The myth about the Ice Turtle Wax containing silicone is true, but it doesn't cause the clearcoat to turn yellow. Silicone is an important part of a lot of products to protect your paint.
