P21-s & any AG range?

[mwatts_tci]

I've got some time off for a bit, and it's pay day soon, so wanna get the 182 (black gold) lookin good

I allready have some car shampoo, can't remeber the name, but any recomendations on that and i might think about changing, I know it is only a shampoo though and not a wax.

Annnyway, i will be cleaning, and AG SRP, and EGP, i want to P21 for that extra deep shine, but what i really want to know it will i miss out on anything without claying it? I have never clayed the car, but will it be waste of time doing the other bits if I don't?

Alos what cloths should I use to put the different products on, is P21s easy to use?


Also how good are quick detailers? And I use the Turtle Wax Wheel shine in a spray bottle at the moment, any good?

Cheers

From what you say, you've got everything you need.

You'll be impressed at the end. Especially after P21s, which I must say is a joy to use. Easy on easy off.


I use everything you've got plus I use the Meg Gold Car Wash. Which I have found to give a real good shine by itself.

Claying isn't essential but you'll be able to tell the difference by the feel of the paint when you've done it.

The Meguirs foam pads are good for applying AG stuff, and some microfibre cloths are essential for removing.

Quick detailers are good for giving your car a spruce up after a couple of days, like if it's got a bit of dust on or if it's been rained on.

I've tried many types and found Meguiars, Mothers both excellent.. but P21-s is the best stuff I have ever used. I didnt take any pics after I used it, but photos wouldnt do it justice.The ease of applying it is just like spreading butter on, and a very small amount goes a long way with the pad provided in the tub. It doesnt leave any white residue and can even be used on the rubber bits around the glass etc. The results are the best I have seen, top marks from me.

after P21s : ( you can only imagine what it does to black )

.....and I would recommend some microfibre cloths as mentioned already, wouldnt use anything else.. leaves a perfect finish and protects from swirls.

Gareth, nice!!

Wow! Everyone on the site is so helpfull again!

Cool, well il set myself up with the p21-s and it comews with a pad you say? Cant wait to see what it looks like, i think i might have to get some new shampoo when this stuff runs out, and i dont think i will clay it this time, il save that for another day!

For someone like me, i wash my car evry 1-2 weeks in the summer, and in the winter, i dont wash it! Well sometimes! Does it matter what MF cloths you use? I mean could i get the cheap ones form Tesco/poundland/Market etc... etc.. or does it make a real difference? they all seem to have a slightly different texture?

I must get a waffle weave towel aswell, so i've been told!

same as above, use the gold class as well.. looks like its been freshly waxed again afterwards just with the wash!

I use the 99p Microfibre cloths from Tesco they are very soft, don't scratch and very cheap too!! They're near the bleach etc

Cool, any 10% discounts with these guys?

The AG SRP is much cheaper than in the shops!

Will i need to clean the paint using a p21 paint cleaner?

I never bother, and it turns out not bad.

Na

al - that slooks really wet and shiney! il aim at that kinda stanadard, doubt il get there though!

To be fair I'd just had it PC'd but it always comes out like that (just that i've no recent decent shots)

AG SRP and EGP topped with P21s is a good combo on Black, Nattys Blue and Souveran togther has the edge though.

After washing put your hand in a plastic sandwich bag and feel the paint, if if feel stuck on derbris, crack out the clay. Freshly clayed paint makes polishes and waxes easier on and off.

^^^^ I think i may have just sex-wee'd a little bit

That is an amazing shine, what is the tire shine on that?

Can you later the EGP straight away after the previous layer, or do you have to wait for it to 'cure', how long to leave it to dry on the car? and how long before you can apply the P21-s?

Cheers

 

[Justin]

think you leave EGP for about 60 mins to dry while on the car, but i may be wrong?

 

[Rich]

You can layer EGP staright away layer after layer but it should be left 12 hours between for the polymers to set up for maximum durability. Same time between topping it with p21s. I leave EGP 60 mins at least, P21s is wipe on wipe off.
