Aaron’s wife had visited last year with her Ford Edge to have some scuffs removed after an…incident…with a garage door and he decided to have his new Explorer ST come by for a Spring cleaning. As much as I love jobs that show polarizing before and after photos of messed up paint, I do love the simplicity of a Wash & Wax.

Every job starts off the same for me: cleaning the wheels with FerreX and the tires with Power Clean. Then I foam Power Clean over the exterior to soak into anything that bonded to the surface. I also use FerreX on the body and T.A.R on areas that may have tar thrown up from the tires. Once rinsed, I wash with No Rinse, followed by using an Optimum Clay Towel on the body to remove any contaminants that can’t be chemically removed (using Optimum Car Wax as a lube). Since the Wax is the lube, when I wipe the panel dry, the wax is already applied! Synergy is awesome.
