New car so new products needed

[V1NNY]

Right i've got a Clio Dynamique s 138 on order and i want some more cleaning gear to protect and make my car look good, products that i have so far are:
Meguiars Gold class
Wash mits
AG SRP
AG EGP
AG Glass polish
P21S

I have nothing for the alloys, interior or the black bits on the bumpers. If someone can recomend me some more products to get that would be great, Thanks Vinny

 

[Rich]

Use the SRP and EGP on the alloys save buying another product.

Poorboys Natural Look for the interior, Autoglym Bumper car for the black exterior trim.

 

[V1NNY]

Cheers rich, What products are out there for cleaning and protecting the alloys?

 

[Rich]

The protecting of the alloys will be done by the EGP. If it is a new car you should not need anything other than a wash with soap and water, a polish with the SRP and onto the EGP.

 

[V1NNY]

ok cheers

whats p21s :S sounds like this post has solved my dilemma

all though upuntill now i only polish my car with
AG SRP ive aways thought that was enough

 

[Rich]

P21s in a Carnuba wax - looks good but is not very durable. Use the Autoglym Extra Gloss after the Super Resin and then the P21s.

AG EGP on alloys?

 

[Rich]

Works a treat, nice and durable, need to do the SRP first though.

Chemical Guys 50/50 or Swissvax Onyx.

I'm looking to lose my wax virginity soon, so I might give the p21 a try.

is it good for metalic green do you think?

 

[Craig]

if you can get the cg 50/50 wax its very very good for the price. im getting onyx next just ran out of 50/50

 

[V1NNY]

is the Chemical Guys 50/50 easy to use and durable

 

[Brand86]

Very easy to apply and fairly durable. Looks great though, I highly recommend it - you will not be disappointed. Even the XXX is good looks wise just doesn't last too long.

 

[V1NNY]

better than the p21s?

 

[Brand86]

Never used P21s myself but general concensus I think is 50/50 is better especially on darker coloured cars or black.

 

[V1NNY]

i will give it a whirl, where can i buy it from lol

there you go mate

 

[V1NNY]

is the 50/50 the ltd edition one or is there another one?

 

[riz]

yeah "ltd one", quality wax,

 

[LiquidRich]

Personally I would use poorboys sealant and then DoDo juice purple haze carnabua wax from www.detailedobsession.co.uk/ I use the sealant and banana juice wax on my LY R27 and it looks stunning

 

[V1NNY]

so many choices lol

 

[Chris_Cliomk1]

go traditional, get a can of back to black on them trims lol works a treat

 

[V1NNY]

Will i or should i have to clay my new car?

Should i use the SRP?

Will i or should i have to clay my new car?

Should i use the SRP?

you feel the bodywork , you'll know if you require a clay .

 

[Rich]

As above after washing stick you hand in a plastic sandwich bag and feel what the paint surface is like.

 

[pete_clio]

how much is that swisswax stuff and how long does it last on the car? just to see if its justifyable for me.

 

[pete_clio]

anyone?

 

[Rich]

Onyx is around 40 quid, should give a couple of months durability.

 

[V1NNY]

yeah i've gone for the onyx over the 50/50

 

[V1NNY]

Should i use the SRP as i remember reading about not using it on a new car because of the cutting properties etc?

also can someone reccomend me some decent cloths, microfibre or whatever, to take polish off and take wax off with

 

[Brand86]

SRP is very mild, no worse than any new car polish that would probably have been applied by the dealer so I wouldn't worry about it mate.

To apply polished by hand I either use a German Applicator (A bit more cut) or a microfibre pad. To apply wax I use a foam pad. To remove any product by hand I use a decent microfibre towel.

 

[V1NNY]

cheers, think i might buy some pakshak cloths
