White is so much nicer to clean with no water marks etc, Its a nightmare having a black car, looks good when clean but it dosen't last.

Check that you are using the right dilution ratios for the shampoo. Could just be crap shampoo stripping the wax though.

I use Last Touch to help with drying and for a quick wipe round afterwards, seems to add a bit of something back to the finish.

i put 2 to 3 caps in, i spoke to some 1 who also said to try less, more like half to one cap.

Any recommendations on another drying cloth at all.

as said i currently use some microfibres to dry it or a megs plush terry towel, are these ine to use anyway.

These are some other cleaners ive seen that i can get off the shelf, would one of these be a better bet then my current simoniz or just the same.

Megs shampoo
AG shampoo and conditioner
Turtle wax, zip, platinum, nano
Swarfega vehicle wash
Turtle wax BIG ORANGE vehicle cleaner

i only use cheap microfibre towels aswell, they seem to work.

Thinking i should try a shampoo or cleaner without a wax in then.

and now my finish has dulled after using my wash and wax, do you think i should 3 step again, or just polish and wax, or just wax again
