Products for a White car?

[C.J]

I've a friend who's picking up his brand new Merc today, in white...

He's wanting to throw some money at cleaning products. Wash / wax / sealant / windows etc.

Any idea what the best products are for white?

A couple of £££'s is the budget for everything.

Search in the detailing section in titles for Silver or White mate. lots of threads and both need the same type of products. The Werkstat system is very good as is Tough Coat spray sealant. Lots of products.

I still love Zaino.

Cheers. He's going on about 'CarLack'?

I was looking at the Werkstat stuff.

Carlack is Werkstat almost mate. Similar formulas, Werkstat system is much easier.

Prime+Acrylic Jett x3 layers. Don't buy Gloss.

Main thing with silver and white cars is the decontamination, so a good pre rinse and wash, check out Gallys stickys at the top of the section, then you need to look into tar and glue removers (Tardis) and iron and fallout removers (iron-X). then look into using a clay bar to remove the remains of the bonded contaminants.

then look into the werkstatt kit or autofinesse tough prep or tripple, topped with tough coat.

Totally agree Dave.

I'd be looking towards Wolfs Chemicals and their new Hard Body sealant. It offers a lot more than the lines of Werksatt or CarLack and is a doddle to apply. If used with their Shine & Seal paint cleaner polish it gives a fantastic, ultra durable coating.

nano sealants aren't really an easy step into detailing, and also require a lot more prep to get the perfect base especially compared to werkstatt or toughcoat

 

[Paddy_R]

True but Wolfs is very easy to use esp if you use their Shine and Seal polish. Simply wash, decontamination stage (tar remover, fallout remover and clay if you need), wash again, dry, polish with shine and seal then seal with hard body.

The likes of G/techniq and Concours Car Care are a lot more fussy in the prep, application and removal than Wolf which is a simple wipe on, wait 10 mins and buff (wipe really) off.
