wash often... don't overwax.. cleaning the interior is just as important as keeping the outside clean.... clean under engine bay... no eating in car

Any good tips on what kind of wax to use. I just bought a 03 Camry white a month ago I love it. It has the 4cyl vvt-i engine which i think gives it alot of pick up for a 4cyl

General paint condition is a major consideration...

When in doubt, get something like a Mothers Clay Bar kit, clay it, and use the Carnauba Cleaner Wax included... it does a nice job of removing light oxidation and scratches.

I like to use a protectant on the trim first to avoid messy cleanup later.

Use a spray wax every other time you wash and it'll help extend the time you need to use a traditional wax.

If you like the cleaner wax, keep using that, or try some of the synthetics like FX SynWax which is even easier to use and has good durability... though it's a little pricier.

If you feel you need more cleaning power than the cleaner wax, let us know.

also try to park indoors when possible,as outdoors can also wear out your cars shine. no direct sunlight parking if ness. and get yourself an ipod integration kit from dice electronics. they also have new HD radio recievers for '98-'07 models too. check it out.

I use Zymol car wash and wax. Very happy with it.
