Detail my car

[Dolan]

Can you tell me a list of products to use if I'm just starting up detailing my car

Ideally I want to get rid of loads of small scratches and swirls

And protect it for the future
Thanks

What do you have so far?

 

[Dolan]

Just cheap halfords stuff

I have
Wheel wonder
AG shampoo
AG polish
T- cut

And that's it haha

You will get slated the last product lol.

I just use, although recently tend to experiment.

Decent shampoo (not hair)
A nice pre cleanser (werkstatt i think its called)
Polish, at the moment autoglym super resin
And lastly a good wax or sealant, trying tough coat from Autofinesse later on.

Try not to get carried away with buying stuff unless you really want to get into detailing your car? Best people by far to advise you in no particular order, gally, aucky, yellow dave, magpiev6.

I think my money would mainly go into the Auto finesse range as it's easy to use & gives great results, To remove the swirls you will need a DA but you can hide them very well with filler type products.

As a starter purchase get something along the lines of:
AF Lather
Iron x
Clay (with lube)
AF Triple
AF Toughcoat

And finish off with a wax if you really want but the above combo will give great results for not much more than £50!

He is, he knows his stuff. And his trophy is nice. Always spotless

Thanks you Dan ill look into them. Does wax seal it?

Dan knows, AF does everything so well.

Sorry mate, forgot to reply

Just off the top off my head..

Dodo Juice - Born to be mild
Iron x
Autosmart Tardis
Auto Finesse Clay
Auto Finesse Glide (clay lube)
Auto Finesse Tripple
Then either a wax or sealent.
Zaino Z6 is a nice quick detailer
Megs Endurance tyre dresser

I would happily use AF products only actually. They cater for all areas, at a high level and well priced.

 

[Chapppers11]

Same mate, there's just a few things they don't offer like durable sealants to rival CQ and GTec, and I've not tried the polishes but I can't imagine you could get away with just owning 3 polishes and pads.

 

[Dolan]

Don't worry about it, thank you joe
Ill look into getting some products

 

[aucky]

Unless you want to get into machine polishing, Tripple or Amigo will serve you well.

Your instinct serves you well

 

[imprezaworks]

Ive been wrong before though lol

i really want to mate just Sundays are really hard for me to take off. I've already made a list of stuff I want to get. Comes to a nice £374 so it would be worth me going as I would hope I'd get a little deal or something.
Just have to keep my fingers crossed.

 

[Dolan]

Oh bloody hell I don't wanna be spending that much haha. Well not at once anyways
