Wax questions - Dodge Caliber SRT-4 Forums

bjeffries · 08-05-2006, 07:47 AM

I am getting ready to wax my Caliber for the first time. I should have already done this but I didn't know it didn't have any wax on it yet. The dealer informed me yesterday that they didn't have time to put any on and I would need to put some on. HELLO, should have told me that the day I got it not 2 weeks out!.

Anyway, I was hoping we could get some ideas on what kind of wax, tips, ect. together. Since I am starting from scratch (no pun intended, I hope ) I would like to get a really good coat on to start with. I have waxed my cars before but my Cali is different...she needs special treatment. Any ideas?

Mother's brand is pretty much the best brand of autocare right now. They make everything you can imagine. Also they have this Power Ball product that makes it very easy to clean and polish your wheels.

Thanks, I'll check it out

I found another brand on accident that I need to forget about. It is to expensive but the pics are awesome. Who knows it could all be advertising of course. have you ever heard of Zaino? http://www.zainostore.com

Thanks for the autocare info. My AV friend has a "homemade" concoction from another AV guy who is the the auto industry... that stuff is MAGIC!!!!!

Sigh, I have to find a product off the shelf!

So...I have ordered the entire Zaino package. I shall use it and post before and after pics when I am done.

I hope it is HALF as good as what you see on the site

I came really close to offer the entire product set of Mother's auto care products. But I opted for the cargo mat. Let us know how they work out, maybe in the future i'll give a set away in a contest.

Wow will do

I I figured I was going to branch out and try something out of the ordinary

I just hope I can do it!!

I always stick with mothers polish, eagle1 wash, and black magic for the tires. Black magic is hands down the best tire shine i've ever used.

I do like that stuff! I can't wait to see what my new Zaino tire stuff does

Should I do one in Black magic and one in Zaino just for fun and post pics?
