would be better if you did mate

Indeed, a quick wash before hand won't hurt, I clay using soap and water rather than the Quick Detail spray anyway so it would be part of my claying routine anyway.

That guide was fantastic rich!

The srp, egp combo people talk about, which is the polish and which is the wax?

And What cloth should i be using to remove them once applied?

SRP is a polish.
EGP is a sealent.

A microfibre cloth to remove once applied


Sorry to stand on your toes Rich!

No worries, cheers mate. Guessing a microfibre is the very fine towel like cloth? Usually a bluey colour?

 

[Rich]

Microfibers come in loads of colours, they contain lots and lots of fine strands/fibres which make product removal easy and are very soft so paintwork friendly.

I apply both the SRP and EGP with foam pads though - http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/accessories/foam-wax-applicator/prod_89.html and then remove them with microfiber cloths.

Its not as harsh as towelling. They're kinda fluffy/soft.
