ok i plan on washing the car today. i havent washed it in awhile ... its black i want this baby to stand out.. what do you guys think i should use for the best outcome

 

Wax it after your done.

 

Soap and water would be my first choice. Don't use sand and kerosine, too abrasive on the paint job and leaves swirls. J/K. I prefer Meguiars products although the most important part is the quality of the wash mitt (lambs wool is best) and microfiber drying towels for drying. I also use the two bucket method, the mitt always gets rinsed in the clean water bucket before hitting the soap bucket. This keeps you from washing your car with a dirty mitt.

Lots of good advice at the top of this page.
