[Trail182]

Is it possible to buy the clay without the detailer as I already have a bottle?

I would use a cap shampoo mix anyway and save the detail spray anyway.

As he says you dont need the detailer, great first step though, take your time and do it panel by panel you will know where you have missed its obvious!

After using the Clay do you HAVE to polish afterwards? or is it fine to leave after a good Clayin'

 

[Rich]

After claying you car will be down to clean bare unprotected paint, you should seal it staright afterwards really. A quick coat of wax is well worth it - sealing in all the hard work you have done during claying, and reprotecting your paintwork.

No point using both Megs Gold Class and Meguiars NXT as whichever way round you do use them one will remove the other, as both contain cleaners/polishes.

As for Autoglym - it does not suck, it Rocks! Blows both the above into the weeds. :clown:

Couldnt agree more mate!!

after claying would some super resin, extra gloss, and mirror glaze (#16) be a good idea?

or would that be repeating steps?

 

[chris182]

Have a look here

Dont NEED the #16 , but wouldn't do any harm

That's a great combo, only downside to it is 16 is a pain to use by hand. Adds to the look of the AG SRP and EGP though.

 

[jonesyx]

ahh thought so, which would be better to use the #16 or EG?

cant wait to get it finished now, so i can give it a good clean & polish :approve:

 

[Rich]

16 is a wax.

EGP a sealant containing wax.

EGP lasts longer for me. I would be tempted to use both though. EGP for protection and the 16 to add to the look. If I was just doing one though - EGP.

 

[Da]

well...it arrived today, so looking forward to a fun weekend of hard rubbing! lol! :approve:
