Ok im realy confused about all of the waxing and polishes on the market:

I have been doing some researching and came up with this, as my car is black:

for the wax, but I am verrry confused on how to apply this

But I would just be washing the car with a notmal car shampoo, and drying it with this:

Would this do? just wash then wax?

and...is there any other cheaper waxes on the market, as I dont want to break the bank on it


thanks

yes and yes in a sense. but personally i would spend some more time before applying the wax as it will be on there for a while. most people will advise something like claying the car if you havnt already, then some SRP and some EGP. Then once the surface is ready you can apply the wax. Somebody will be able to advise you better but just a thought.

what way do I apply SRP and EGP?

I have heard about these, but I am confused about applying these and what cloths etc to use

 

[edgeydt50]

you can just apply using either a foam applicator pad or a micro fibre cloth. have a search in the guides section or give this a good read http://www.matey-matey.com/detailing.shtml

Get this:

Wash > dry > polish > Carlack > collonite

Or if your feeling flush

Wash > clay > wash > dry > polish > carlack > collonite
