Is sheepskin ok for drying?
- Thread starter hipwell
- Start date
Just a dam good clean on a tight budget.
Products I currently own are a good wash Mit, auto glym extra gloss protection, auto glym srp and auto glym shampoo.
So I'd like to use what I've got and would like to give it a clay and possibly a wax to apply after the extra gloss protection.
So basically I need some wax, clay and a good drying towel and a good bit of material for buffing off polish.

do you want to mail order (i4detailing.co.uk generally do next day delivery if placed by 2pm.) or just head off to halfords?
You can pick up a meguiars or autoglym clay kit with clay, lube, AG comes with microfibre cloth as well I think, all available from Halfords. I'd consider using a tar remover before claying as well, AG instant tar remover is a always easy to find, or tardis. halfords also sell a megs drying towel thats not half bad. plenty of different types available on line
as for wax, layer up the EGP after the SRP and it'll give a lovely shine and not bad durabilty, apply more layers once a month after washing to keep good beading. I used it for ages on my LY. So I've been told EGP isn't a great base for applying wax's over

no need to wax then apply EGP, wash, de tar, clay, SRP, then either wax or seal with either colli's 476 wax or EGP sealant. most bits can be found in halfords for basic cleaning.
Most importantly, don't foget to use the 2 bcuket method when washing.

There is not a lot wrong with the list you've provided above, for your basic wash, polish and seal. The same old question applies of how far do you want to go? How long have you got etc.
Wash two bucket method, rinse, clay, SRP and then EGP or Wax with a durable wax.
As a recent "hater" has found, washing your car and protecting it well once will make it a hell of a lot easier to wash next time around.
