What are you wanting to do to her? theres soo much choice on what to get!

 

[James1470]

want to get a proper good finish on it, like at the moment mines just shiny and reflective .. wanted to get a deep finish that makes the colour sleek its sort of hard to describe haha.. this sort of finish ...

Ok, I have found good products to use on my bg vee & black pug which are -

Snowfoam is a good pre wash, if adding some apc or g101.

Wheels -

Dodo juice mellow yellow & captain crevis wheel mitt!

Shampoo -

Zaino z7, great in in direct sunlight! Again, dodo juice btbm & our power.

Two bucket method! & a good quality drying towel!

Clay -

Megs clay kit will do just fine!

polish -

dodo juice lime prime/need for speed
Zaino - zfx (if you want bling!) z2, z5 & the blue one!
Blackfire kit & wolfgang excellent imo too!

Sealants -

Chemical guys blitz is soo easy to use.
Chemical guys jet seal 109
Wolfgang 3.0


Wax -

Dodo Juice Supernatural (for blingy bling!)
Dodo juice purple haze (pro)
Swissvax scudera & onyx

Thats just a few mind you Like i said, theres a huge selection out there, not forgetting the autoglym srp, uds & egp, which are also excellent!

HTH

Look on cyc, very good service there

will do .. i was just looking at that Dodo juice mellow yellow.... its acidic? .. iv got white wheels, it won't stain or spoil them do you think?

 

[VIICarCare]

I didnt think it was acidic? I use it on my wheels on the vee & had no issues. Autosmart 'smartwheels' is very good too

I ordered some of this the other day for the first time, was pretty good stuff, used it at 50:50 Needs a proper alloy brush with it though imo

Yeah, I use Bilberry's too. Awesome stuff. I don't dilute it by much either, and doesn't seem to do much damage.

I've just spent a good bit of money getting some stuff to clean my motor, as above I used i4detailing.co.uk and cleanyourcar.co.uk - I'd recommend them both, they're top notch!

Some of the stuff I've bought:

Meguiar's Gold Class Shampoo
i4detailing Snow Foam - 5ltrs for £7 or something
AG Extra Gloss Protection
Poorboy's World Natural Look
Smartwax Rimwax
Bilberr'y Safe Wheel Cleaner
Poorboy's World Black Hole
AG SRP (Cheap, works a treat too)
Meggy's Scratch-X
Poorboy's Natty Paste Wax
cleanyourcar.co.uk Tyre Gloss (Awesome stuff!)
AG Interior Shampoo
Meggy's Detailing Clay

The above stuff seemed to be a good starter kit for me, all of it works well, and seems to go together nicely too.

I'd definitely recommend checking those sites out though, the discounts might not be massive but the prices are good anyway, and their service is brilliant!
