I use whats called Pink Wax. This stuff seems to always work for me.

Be careful what you used. my dad waxed his with turtle wax i think and it has a white haze all over a black trailer that wont come off.

thats why i never use turtle wax... i power washed it yesterday and tried some wax in different spots. i used meguiars cleaner wax. it was like night and day. so i think i will use that with a buffer for sure im not doing it by hand.... then top it off with some meguiars NXT i can take before and after if anyone is interested.

I would agree. If you want to use a machine, collinite 845 is a liquid so it can be applied that way or by hand. If you prefer a paste wax, 476s super double coat is a very durable product as well. If you decide to go w/ 845, you'll notice that its pretty thick and wont pour out easily. To remedy this, you can either leave it in direct sunlight or run it under warm/hot water. Both ways will really thin it out and make pouring it significantly easier :)

Well i wish i had pre clean pics but once i started I got kind of carried away. I am currently trying to finish polishing all of the diamond plate.... Whew it is alot of work... I will post pics when I am all done though

I started off with the cleaner wax from top to bottom, then i did top off with Meguiars NXT wax. I used the buffer for the cleaner wax but i put the NXT on by hand then went and got some nice new bonnets and took it off with the buffer
