Airtight plastic totes, so no dust gets in, ever.

I skipped the spray wax this week already and will continue to note if there are any improvements. I'm using Meguiar's Ultimate Paste Wax, which is why I thought using another product from Meguiar's, the D156 spray wax, would "synergize" well with its sister product. I don't live near anything...

I guess I made the false assumption that everything just layered on top of another. I've been using D156 by the way.

Is the spray wax the culprit? Interesting, I'll give it a try, thanks.

I'm dealing with single-stage white paint that gets visibly dirty after a month or so. It's a daily driver that gets a two-bucket OR waterless wash followed by a spray wax every week. A paint cleaner fixes the problem easily (see pic below), but then I have to wax/sealant again. But this is not...

Disgusting. I know some body shops that do a 360 degree confirmation with the customer of any obvious scratches/dents prior to working on a vehicle; this should be a standard.

Happy new year to you, too! How did you get your wife to tolerate your stockpiled products? Care to share any tips (hope this isn't an off-topic question)?

This looks promising, and I look forward to the results. Thank you.

D156, the gallon size is very affordable.

I will also recommend UC and UP.

Here's another combination for your consideration: Wolfgang Paintwork Polish Enhancer (cleaner) + polish/compound paint correction products + Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant 3.0 (sealant)

Great job! I'm a fellow apprentice of this forum too but not quite at your stage yet, so it's inspiring to see your results!

D156 because of its versatility.

Is it possible to attach photos of the final result? I'm sure that would help others assess what's possible for your next step.

I tested Iron X on a panel and boy is the smell horrible! And it leaves a trail of carcass odor everywhere I carry it... Oh well, the purple streaks confirmed that my car was indeed contaminated. I will proceed with the rest of the car on a cool day---thanks for the reminder.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I ordered some Carpro Iron X and Wolfgang Paintwork Polish Enhancer and will be testing these soon in my maintenance routine. I've never tried an iron decontamination before because claying alone seemed to remove everything I could see visually. This will be...

No, I haven't. What's that fluorescent green product? Looks fascinating! Okay, thanks. Without one of those expensive paint gauges, and because of a bad wet sanding experience in the past, I always get nervous about polishing too much.

Thanks for the reassuring post, Eldorado2k. Your photos are very convincing. I will look into Carpro Reset after I deplete my supply of Gold Wash. Maybe my problem was not really sealing the deal properly, hence having to paint correct too often.

Seven years ago, Mike wrote an article on "The Lesson White Paint Teaches Us." The lesson was that dirt accumulates on a car's finish over time and that "you need to either use a dedicated paint cleaner of some type to remove the dirt build-up and then afterwards apply a finishing wax or...
