Waxing advice
I just use a random orbital with MF bonnets to remove. No special brand. I also have some MF towels, but they aren't a special brand. Hit them for free when I bought Collinite online and hit one with my Nanoskin Autoscrub kit.
I have not waxed my truck yet. It is 18 months old, garage kept but I am planning on doing so this winter. Does Colinitte clean and wax or just wax. I know some people don't like NuFinish but it cleans better than any other wax I know of and puts down a decent wax finish. It is also very easy to apply and remove.
I've always used the mothers 3 stage system. It's worked amazing for all my vehicles. Next time I go to wax my truck I'm going to clay bar it again and hit it with chemical guys new "white wax". Designed to get the most out of white paint and then I'll seal it up with a good sealant. It's not a cheap system, but the truck wasn't cheap either, so I like to keep the best protection with the best shine I can get!!!
I picked up an el cheapo Harbor Freight dual action polisher for about $50. Then I bought the 6" medium pad that came with a MF towel and spray lube for like $40.
Totally worth it for me. The pad is reusable many times over and I use the DA to apply polish and wax as well.
