What are you putting on your new Eclipse Cross to make it shine?

I just applied Meguiars Fast Finish, easy and quick to apply and looks shiny, time will tell how is beads etc. :nerd:

Has anyone tried this wax?

LOL.

That is absurd. Who in their right mind would spend that kind of money on a wax lol? I guess if you've got supercar money its no big deal.

I haven't waxed. I'm worried about the warning in the user manual that you must not let any wax get over the various sensors.

you aren't worried about your paint oxidizing and rusting? the paint may be the most expensive part of your car, other than maybe engine and transmission.


wax on the sensors is fine - just don't leave it CAKED on.


i use CarPro Hydr02 spray sealant - spray it on, hose it off. its hydrophobic - water beads and runs right off (like Rain X for your paint). then i dry it with my cordless leafblower - the water just flies right off. so easy and lasts a long time, too.

Well, yes, I am concerned, but I'm not sure what to make of it.

My Eclipse Cross replaced a 17-year-old Toyota which had never been waxed. The Toyota had various cosmetic problems, but paint oxidising was not one of them. The paint still looked great!

But I see that the user manual for the Eclipse Cross is quite specific in advising regular waxing.

I highly recommend this wax and it's considerably cheaper than the one above I posted.

Goes on and comes off so easy, been using this for years.
