Wayne Estrada's Tips on XJ-S Exterior Cleaning 1) Wheels 2) Bumpers and Rubber 3) Paint Step 1: Start with their "Cleaner/Wax" (maroon bottle). Go over the car in wash cloth sized areas. Remove every tiny spec, dead bug, tar, etc. Don't rub hard. Gentle circular motions a little at a time. Wipe off each little section before going onto the next. Do the whole car, and if you haven't done a really good job on the paint in a while, do the whole car again-same method. Step 2: Use their "Yellow Wax", same small sections, over the whole car. Only use cotton terry towels to wipe off and turn towels frequently. A foam applicator works well. Don't use offset orbital machines. Every great finish I've ever been around is a hand job (don't go there...!) If you want to learn from the real paint finish masters, go to an American Hot Rod Show. These guys are the best and know all the tricks. The Yellow Wax Moisturizes the paint and will make it darker/richer looking. Step 3: Use Maguires "Hi-Tech Finish" polish. Same small areas, use a foam applicator (use different applicators for each wax). This stuff will NOT go on unless the surface is perfectly prepared or it will "blotch" on the finish and your rag. If this happens, go back to steps 1 and/or 2.
