Cough ....
The rest http://s2.photobucket.com/albums/y32/r-jay-clio/Hillclimb/
P21s will look great on the wheels, but will last about 3 hard stops lol!
AG SRP and EGP x 3 topped with Poorboys Wheel Sealant or Swissvax Autobahn Wheel Sealant here.
You can use a quick detail spray - something like Meguiars Last Touch is ideal.
I mix up a few capfulls of car shampoo and water in a spray bottle and use that.
I use Autosol/Autoglym metal polish with wire wool, then Meguiars NXT applied by foam pad and then finish off with AG SRP on a soft cloth, which seems to work well stepping down to a good luster.
Wash
Prima Detailing Clay Bar
Poorboys Swirl Remover SSR1
Poorboys Ex Sealent with Carnauba
Poorboys Natty Blue Paste Wax
Is the correct order - A 10-20 pence size blob on an applicator of the polish and sealant should be enough to do about a normal panel e.g a door or wing.
Work the SSR 1...
Will need more than the SFX 3 Blue Finsihing Pad to do any correction I expect.
More than likely you will need the 80 or SSR 2 on the SFX 2 White Polishing Pad
The AG Bumper care Gel I apply with a Microfiber cloth and buff with a clean one.
Same for the 1Z Vinyl and Rubber.
The Bold and Bright I apply with a 1 1/2 inch Thick Paintbrush
I have yet to find a product that will stay on 100% in all weathers.
Best I have found on textured trim i properly applied Autoglym Bumper Care Gel. By properly applied it needs to be rubbed in well with a cloth, allowed to stand for a few mins and then properly buffed with a clean cloth. Lasts...
Leather is easy.
Clean and Condition with leather products
I use Einzett leather Care and Zaino Z10 Conditoner on mine.
Alacantara you are not suposed to use anything on it really bar a dry or damp cloth. I wipe mine down weekly with a dry microfiber and wipe down monthly with a damp one.
Almost there on the product list.
When you come to the last stages, I would use the SRP then the EGP topped with the P21s. If you use the NXT it will remove the EGP below it.
If you want to use the NXT skip the EGP and apply it over the SRP or P21S Gloss-enhancing Paintwork Cleanser...
Also worth getting a decent Microfiber drying towel, some Microfibers to remove the polish/sealant and some Clay and Meguiars Scratch X to address any localised defects.
As said Rim wax works ok as said as a one step product.
I prefer the Poorboys Wheel Sealant or Swissvax Autobahn as I can use them over my AG SRP and EGP base on wheels.
I would not bother with 80 on the wheels, AG SRP and EGP will work fine.
I revisted Rimwax the other day as a one step product on my mates new Monaco 172. Ideal as a one step - reason I dont use it often as it polishes and protects in one so can't be layered like the Poorboys Wheel Sealant or Swissvax ones can be. On my car I like to do the AG SRP, EGP x 2 or 3 and...
BMW Paint is fairly hard so will take some decent cut to correct it.
Any of the Proven polish routes should sort it.
Menzerna Intensive Polish and Final Finish
Meguiars 83 and 80
Poorboys SSR 2.5, 2 and 1
An array of cutting, light Cut, polishing and finishing pads are a must. Start with the...
