All Meguiar's car wash soaps gently clean without stripping existing wax protection. Gold Class Car Wash is a top choice for a rich, safe wash. Avoid household dish soap, as its degreasers can remove polishes and wax over time.
Wash in the shade to help prevent water spots. Pre-rinse to remove loose dirt, dilute in a foam cannon or bucket, wash one section at a time with a premium wash mitt, rinse thoroughly, and dry with a microfiber drying towel.
For swirl-free results, use plenty of product to lubricate dirt, wipe with a premium microfiber towel and switch to a clean side often, and if the vehicle is heavily soiled, use a traditional car wash instead of a waterless wash.

Hybrid Ceramic Wash & Wax provides additional protection by bonding to pre-existing ceramic coatings, enhancing water beading. Frequency depends on many variables, but generally a wash should be used weekly or as the paint starts to get dirty.
Mix 2 oz per gallon in a wash bucket or 1:6 soap-to-water in a foam cannon. Wash one section at a time with a premium wash mitt, dunking it often in a rinse bucket. Rinse each section with water, then dry with a clean microfiber drying towel.
