Black Sheep
Ok I have been asking questions and you guys have really helped me to begin to understand what detailing involves as at first I did not really understand the processes and products used but now i have a basic grasp of whats involved, sorry to anyone who has found these questions boring over time lol. I have got all my stuff for my interior and wheels ect which i have always maintained pritty decent with my autoglym stuff ect. Its the body work where i have been clueless and much of the swirls and light scratches on my otherwise great conditioned Black 2002 ph2 172 have been caused by improper washing methods including by my self
. So here goes my new process before I commit to buying it all based on the info you guys have kindly went to the effort to give me. so here goes please exscuse the turtle wax zip wax shampoo I Have seven litres of the stuff and I have always enjoyed using it, or will it be dentramental to my victoria concours wax on future washes?
1. Clean wheels and dress tyres (refurb next month cause the are s*it at the mo)
2. Jet wash car to remove lose dirt ect.
3. Wash with my turtle wax zip wax using lambs wool mit and the two bucket method.
4. Rinse car off.
5. Dry with large fluffy drying towel. used to use a leather.
6. Remove any tar with Autoglym tar remover.
7. Further clean with clay bar and lube...... Which one should i get being a beginner?
8. Apply poor boys blackhole to hide my light scratches and swirling can this be done by hand or is it best to use a buffer can you acheive the same results by hand or should i invest in say an £80 variable speed machine?????
9. Wipe off with microfibre cloth.
10. Apply Victoria concours wax by hand.
11. Final wipe with a microfibre.
12. Open a beer and admire the stunning finish
Is this a decent method cheers for any input it has taken a bit of digging around and asking you guys to come up with it!!
