The lemon in lemon Pledge will eventually deteriorate the paint! Its acidic!

I use Turtle Wax ICE on the paint and Never Dull on the chrome. Very satisfied with the results.

Caution with the chrome and the polish. You can use a very light polish in chrome only for clean! Because the chrome, not its necessary polishing, u never polish the chrome, only clean with a very light metal polish, softy.
If you try various times polish the chrome, the shine of chrome lost.

Only the polished pieces, not problem for polish many times and strong, but the chrome no.

I might know a thing or two about detailing...my routine so far is...

1. Wash & dry

2. Synthetic Sealant every 6-8 months

3. Wax every month. I use Chemical Guys Butter Wet Wax

4. While wax cures, Turtle wax chrome polish or Chemical Guys Light Metal Polish

5.Leather cleaner and protector

6. Trim/plastic protector. Chemical Guys Natural Shine

I am a huge Chemical Guys products fan. They work and work very well. But Meguire's, Tutrle Wax and any other reputable brand should do.

This was taken right after a wash routine...
