The wax is called Eagle One Wet. I its a liquid not a paste. its made by Eagle One Ind. in Carlsbad.CA. I found it at Kragen Auto Parts . Sure makes the car look wet.

I have had a lot of luck with the clay bars they sell. The clay cleans out all the dirt and will remove spider webs and things like that.

You got to be carefull with the bars. They are great with overspray . I watched me bulff away the paint just with wax.
carefull, carefull I had a neighbor who worked for some paint shop , he had a device which could measure the thickness of your paint. put it on the car ,2 seconds, he knew the thickness to the metal.... cool

cool i'll have to check out Eagle One Wet... I usually use Maguire's Quick Wax... it's a spray that you put on like wax, only it dries faster and less streaky. Very nice shine.
