Hi Johnson and thanks for the offer.
As I’ve just acquired the car (Boxster on a 12 plate with 13,000miles) I really don’t know it’s history and so I thought I’d do the following although the car appears clean and polished:
- Lightly jet wash the car (not hood) to get rid of any obvious dirt and grime.
- Wash the car with baby shampoo and dry with mircofibre cloths.
- Apply Swissvax Cleaner Fluid to get rid of any remaining old wax and contaminants.
- Apply Swissvax Zuffenhausen Wax as recommended by them for all Porsche's to shine and protect the paint.

First off I would recommend a prewash, either in the form of a snowfoam or a product like Bolt Hamber Autofoam allowing to dwell for 5 minutes before rinsing well.
As for the choice of shampoo I would avoid using anything designed for your body as they contain salts which can dry out paint as paint is porus, for a wax stripping shampoo the best product to use is CarPro Reset and then rinse
To further remove a wax I would then use a product like CarPro Eraser or Envy Filler Killer to remove all oils from the surface.
To enhance gloss use a glaze depending on your budget Autoglym SRP is a very common glaze and is effective if used correctly,
Then top with your swissvax apply a thin coat and buff off when ready allow an hour for the wax to gas then apply another thin layer and buff when ready,
Judging from what you have available this would be the process I would use but I can highly recommended the CarPro products mentioned…
Any questions just ask
