Total NOOB Detailer

[Phill90]

Basically ive never washed my car with anything other than washing up liquid water and a pressure washer. Im a total noob :rasp:

Anyone point me in the right direction as regards to which soap, wax clay etc to use.
Just cheap stuff thats decent and can tell its been done, that you can probably get from halfords.

Also how to actually go about doing it, washing it drying waxing timescales etc etc

Thanks People

Products for a Noob, -

Megs gold class car wash
Lambswool wash mitt
2 buckets

And If you buy from Halfords who stock all this its 3 for 2 on all car cleaning at the moment

If i were a noob I'd just wash it properly with 2 buckets, mitt etc and then use a decent cleaner wax.

Si what have I told you about trying to give advice

I'd probably swap the SRP/EGP for some Carlack Nano Care and Collinite 476S, tends to give better results on previously unloved cars IMO.

i think the best advice i could give you would be to visit detailing world. Visist the guides section and youll find guides from the complicated to the as simple as washing with 2 buckets. Very handy site. Also have a search at some of the threads in the detailing forum on here.
