Trig Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 www.detailingworld.com can be your friend, if you can spend the time understanding a bit of what they are all on about. In the detailing section on here Mike C has put up a list of his favourite products, which is ok as a guide and if you are willing to spend that money. To start though you want: 2 bucketsLambswool mit (2 for £12)Shampoo (I use Megs shampoo plus from here Cleanyourcar.co.uk)Microfibre cloths (I still have some for sale if you are interested)Polish (AG Super resin polish is a good one, decent value for money)Wax (This is awesome and good value) All that wont be too expensive and will keep you looking after the car for a very, very, very long time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trig Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 There is so much out there to do different things with. I know Simon had it detailed not too long ago but this might be of good use to you This might be of interest If it wasnt sealed when it was last detailed then you might benefit from using the Carlack NSC after washing/before waxing. And that little kit is decent value Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MIKE W Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Microfibre cloths (I still have some for sale if you are interested) I recommend the ones Trig has, i finally used one to dry the car when i washed it on Saturday Trig and i have to say they are immense Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hezz Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 i never use to dry the car off after washing, just go for a quick blat to get the water out but i used a microfibre to wipe it all off with and that is the way forward dont know about all the other bits though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
