Novice needing help!

Hello
Right, I'm basically looking at giving my car a real good detailing, ready for the winter.
Basically I know nothing! I need to know what are the better products to use/what you would recommend.

'My' way of doing it and what products to use would be something like this:

Wash - http://www.i4detailing.co.uk/acatalog/Meguiars_Shampoo_Plus_3.html

Dry/shammy - http://www.i4detailing.co.uk/acatalog/I4D_Uber_Premium_Drying_Towel_1.html

Clay - http://www.i4detailing.co.uk/acatalog/Meguiars_Smooth_Surface_Clay_Kit_1.html

Sealant - http://www.i4detailing.co.uk/acatalog/Meguiars_Synthetic_Sealant_1.html

I'm not sure if this is good or not? Am I missing out any crucial stages etc?

Thank you

Will

From a skim read, yes. Polishing. You need to polish after claying. Use Auto Glym Super Resin Polish.

I'll check the links when I have more time.

so after i have clayed it, should I still polish it with that SRP you recommended and then seal it with this EGP?

Cheers

Ye as claying will strip any kind of product that was on there before. It basically lets you begin from scratch

Don't forget underneath FIRST if you want it prepped for winter

Mine's for a coat of Waxoyl underneath now in September, then a few coats of wax on top and loads of wheel seal
