Help! Starter kit budget £100

[pollard313]

Looking for some help and advice guys! Want to buy some detailing gear because I gave all mine away last year when I didn't have a car to waste my Sundays on!

Should I buy everything from one site, check out the halfrauds 3 for 2 offer or get a detailing kit ie Auto Glym off eBay??

Ive got some absolutely terrible paintwork btw. Pearl black ph2 172 with a shocking amount of swirl marks!

​any help would be massively appreciated!

Wont get anywhere without a machine polisher. Hand polishing or glazes will only do a small improvement.....

Build up the maintenance kit first then budget for polishing some other time.

Work out what you want in your basket then post it. Im sure others will give you some direction.

Well I was looking at getting the auto glym concours kit. Anyone purchased that?

What were everyone else's first purchases, what are your essentials that you swear by?

Zymol Carbon.

Dodo BTBM

Sonax QD

AS Tardis

AS G101

Bilthamber Clay
Auto Finesse offer good products at a good price.

Look at AF Tripple for your glaze/polish then top that with Sonax QD to seal in your work and add decent water behavior....
