Investing in a couple of cleaning products

[Omid]

I want to buy a clay kit and scratch remover.

Which are the best??

Im getting Meguiars Scratch X
and the Smooth Surface Clay Kit. Is this good?

Working by hand Megs Scratch X is ok, takes alot of work you may be better of trying these from CARLACK - Car-Lack 68 - Hand polish kit

As long as you don't go for aggressive bodyshop type clays most are very alike. The Megs one just works out expensive IMO. Plus you can make you own clay lube with soap and water to cut costs and just buy a clay bar on it's own.

Thanks for the advice Rich, its golden amazing fella !

One more question. My car needs a bit of touch up, now i have my clay kit and wax, i have my scratch x. In what order shall i execute this attack!? Touchup first? or claying? or scratch x?? Thanks

Also, what is best for scratches on the light clusters?

 

[Rich]

Wash, clay and dry.

Clean the area to touch up, apply the paint. Allow to dry, then wet sand and polish.


I use Menzerna polish as I would on the paintwork by machine, or S100 plastic polish when working by hand.

Ok will do Where does the wax come in?? I have the meguiars clay kit so it has wax with it. I got it a bit cheaper as my friend got staff disc. on it

Wax is the last step.
