TommyT Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 (edited) OK, want to get into doing a bit of detailing on my car. Just want to make sure what I'm doing is right and if anyone has any further advice or comments. Here's what my method is: Rinse with hose2 bucket method with cheap turtle wax shampoo using sheepskin mitt and grit guardsDried with microfibre towel clickyMeguiars smooth surface clay kit using Megs detail spray clickyMegs cleaner liquid wax clickyAuto Glum super resin polishChemical Guys blitz spray sealant clicky Doing the wheels with Bilberry wheel cleaner and some cheap back to black tyre aerosol. Windows done with windolene lol Got my snowlance on order so would assume that i do that before washing with 2 bucet method but will look into it in more detail when it comes.

Trig Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Buy some megs APC. Amazing stuff for doing details.or get supermarket own brand, not quite as good, but loads cheaper. You will only need to clay it once a year, maybe twice. If you are going to use SRP, personally I wouldnt bother with the cleaner wax. Make sure you work the SRP in well, its a great product and provides a bit of protection too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the paint cleaner, apply it, and work the product in, don't just leave it on and wait. Work in circular and horizontal / vertical motions, then wipe away excess. NXT wax should be left on for some time, then buffed off when it's hazed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hezz Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 cheers shiner i'm probably putting on too much or not waiting long enough for it to dry before taking off - or probably both!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simonez Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 i left the old scoob to haze for to long! due to my uncle stopping by to speak to me, haha left it for about 15mins and it was a nightmare to get off, but the result was awesome!
