Hi,

Tomorrow I am picking up my new Clio Dynamique and I want to keep it looking good. So, when should the first wash be and is this kit any good: http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/complete-detailing-kits/meguiars-new-car-kit/prod_873.html

thanks

Have a look on car-chem website they have some good starter kits

AF also do a decent little tester/starter kit.

Do you have any gear/knowledge??

 

[jeddy74]

No to both I'm afraid. Only crappy car wash stuff.

Is it a brand new car or new to you?

You happy to spend a decent amount of time in keeping it looking nice?
Rough budget that you want to spend?

 

[jeddy74]

Brand new. Can spare a day a week plus a few afternoons here and there. Budget...around £50-100 for getting the first lot of stuff.

Read up on the stickies to get your technique correct first.

2 buckets
Wash mitt
Drying towel
Lots of Microfibres
Applicators
Wheel Brush/Woolies
Shampoo
Wheel cleaner
All purpose cleaner
Polish
Sealant/Wax
Tyre Dressing
Glass polish
Trim dressing
Quick Detailer

That's my bare essentials

Others -

Fallout Remover
Tar remover
Clay bar/mitt

The sky is the limit with this bloody hobby.

Thanks for the great advice! I'm on af site now reading a few guides. That's a great help, cheers

AF is a great company with decent products.

Tripple is one of the best products I've used.

Lather V2
Imperial
Tripple
Tough Coat
Wax - Optional (How much do you want to spend)

All great products and will give you lovely results.

Where abouts are you Jeddy74? I'm sure amongst my array of products I could put together a better starter kit than the one you listed.
