S3, Polo
I've recently run out of all of my usual products so wondered if you guys could recommend some products and techniques that would suit a budding 'hobbist' detailer? I'm interested in hard-wearing and lasting protection and I'm happy to top-up coats weekly, if need be.
Sealants, glazes, polishes and layering are all new to me -so treat me like a novice when referring to these things- but I'm keen to learn and use the right products - if it's right for me! I also don't have a machine polisher.
I've been using 2 buckets/ 3 sponges (2 bodywork, 1 wheels)/ Megs Gold Class Wash/ AG Machine Cleaner for the wheels/ Chamois/ Collinite 476S for as long as I care to remember. I've also been known to clay my cars with a Megs bar and Quik Detailer maybe 1-2 times a year.
Both of my cars are metallic, have been bought recently and have good but fairly neglected paintwork (one is silver pearl and one is green-black pearl).
No idea on budget but for the sake of my ignorance, let's say my budget is £60.
Assuming my technique would be:
- Hose down
- 2 bucket wash with a shampoo
- ...
