HD Cleaner and Polish



I tried this stuff on my black 05 mcs and it really put some snap into the finish.

Actually, I had just finished using NXT car wash, and once again, in spite of a total rinse, it left a tacky sticky finish. It looked dull, almost cloudy. I used the exact amount as directed.And despite claims, I DID get water spotting. We do have pretty hard water around here.

The Harley Davidson Spray Cleaner and Polish cut through the NXT finish and left the paint sparkley and smooth!

Good thought!

But I'm not sure it took any wax off. It feels smooth, not squeaky like with Dawn detergent.

I'll keep a watch on it. Next time I douse it with the hose or if it rains, I'll see how it beads.

I don't understand this post. Did you originally wax your car with NXT Tech Wax? Otherwise the car wash you used was just soap.

Did your finish not look dull or cloudy before you washed the car?

There is a big difference between a cleaner/polish and wax.
