There is no section for just detailing on this forum, so lets start one

What car detailing products is everyone using

me... atm i am bursting to get the products and da machine, but with a wheel bearing and an abs sencor needing replacing i can not fund that lot :roll: so it will have to wait for a month or two

my plan is to do a full on job, claying, polishing,waxing. ill be doing the polishing and waxing with the da

just today i got in the post a lambs wool wash mit not as i expected not sure is it actual wool but i can see it holding in the dirt

anyway when i get fund$ i will be getting

das 6 machine polisher or a similar da

Meguiars NXT Generation Car Wash Shampoo

Bilt Hamber Auto Clay 200g

medium, fine and either glaze or finishing polish, think glaze and finishing polish are the same :?

Collinite wax

and some quick detailer

was thinking about Gilmour foamaster but not sure of this, a foamer would be nice

anyway guys whats your thoughts and what you got :?:

I currently use ..(around 3 times a year)

Turtlewax Ice car shampoo

Chamois dry car, then..

Meguires clay bar kit

Autoglymn polish (2 coats)

Turtlewax Ice polish (1 coat)

Turtlewax liquid wax (1 or 2 coats, depends how knackered I am!)

Then for monthly car cleaning I use..

Turtlewax car shampoo

Chamois dry car, then either...

Turtlewax Ice polish, Meguires Quick detailer polish or Autoglymn polish. (1 coat)

Turtlewax liquid wax. (1 coat)

For weekly car cleaning I use..

Turtlewax car shampoo

Chamois dry car, then either...

Turtlewax Ice polish or Meguires Quick detailer polish

For the tyres, I always use Tesco Tyre & Bumper restorer. Honestly, for £1 odds a can, it can't be beat. Gives a better longer lasting finish than Back to Black which is £5.99 a can!

For the interior, I use..

Meguires Gold Class leather cleaner.

Mr Muscle Glass cleaner.

And a bloody good vaccum cleaner! lol

Bearing in mind I've got Two civic M's to do!!! :shock:

PS: Good topic, changed to "sticky" ;)

My mate, well was, started valeting using "only the best car cleaning products, maguiers" so i thought give it to him give im sum extra cash and get all the odd marks and hair line scratches out. He had this stuff call scratch ex 2.0 iirc! Heres the out come of that!
