Clio 182 - what products and pads?

[joeac]

I've detailed some of my previous cars in the past however I would appreciate if someone could take the time to answer some questions I have an Arctic Blue 182

How firm is the paint? I hope it's not like my old R53!

What products do you recommend? From clay right through to wax. Also what pads do you recommendations? I've used chemical guys pads which I found great but I wouldn't know which pads to purchase this time as I'm unsure how firm the paint is.

Proper soft paint on these mate.

I've got an arctic blue mate.

I'm far from a detailing expert but I find that Prima amigo applied by DA with a blue hexlogic pad gives great results.

Spent all day on mine yesterday which included pre wash with valet pro citrus, valet pro snow foam (which I used for the first time yesterday and it's better than Avalanche imo btw), a decontamination with iron x and as mentioned it was Prima amigo'd.

Finished off with HD wax which I think is superb for what it costs.

Crap iPhone pic so doesn't really do it justice to be honest.

That looks great Ron... Wish I got more into my detailing when I owned mine

Theres such a huge range u can get. I personally love the Autobrite direct range & Bilt Hamber also. as for waxes AG HD as Ron mentioned is very good for your buck and Bilt Hamber finis wax are the best sub £50 waxes you will get but it all depends how deep your pockets are. Im well into detailing and have spent a fortune on products
