Give a few varients such as basic, intermediate, semi pro. Just like to know what people think

[Edited on 18-01-2009 by Richardhhha]


first id go for a decent shampoo - meguiars is the bollox gold class/nxt/shampoo plus iv used them all and theyre ace

something to dry it? autoglym chamois or terry towel from megs again - both ace

then something to remove all the bonded contaminents from your paint - megs quick clay bar kit or sonus clay and megs detailer is what im using atm

then your gonna need your shampoo again to wash all the shit off you just removed

polishes / waxes / sealants its all down to personal choice & what colour car you own. iv ALWAYS used autoglyms super resin polish and nxt tech wax

dodo juice do car specific hard & soft waxes for differnt colour cars - dont leave it on too long though as its a b!tch to get off as i found out

never used a sealant

megs tyre gel for the tyres...and loadsa microfibres for waxing on & off
