I managed to get round to cleaning my car fully yesterday and i was very pleased with the results. thanks for all the advice on cleaning products cus they were all really good.

i washed it
then clayed
washed it again
then sealed it with CG wet mirror finish
then waxed with dodo juice

i know i cant do this process every week but i was wondering what is the best process to do weekly or your method to keep it this clean.

Once the cars been sealed and waxed my weekly process is,

Wash the alloys with bilberry wheel cleaner, small brushes etc, one wheel at a time.

Pre wash with snow foam / maxi suds mix using foam lance.

Allow to soak for a few minutes,

Rinse off.

Wash using 2 bucket method, dodo juice supernatural shampoo and megs lambswool mitts. ( do a few panels at a time to stop the shampoo drying)

Once completly washed, dry with microfibre drying towels,

Once completly dry i drive the car up my drive and back to remove the rust from the brake disks.

Then i check no water is on the paint and give it a coat of Dodo juice redmist,

Do glass with megs glass cleaner concentrate,

Apply megs endurance gel to the tyres.

Then just give the car a quick interior clean.

so basicly just a clean. just a very good one=] thats my process though just with different products.

how often you re wax or seal again?

i know there is probably a thread on this already but how do you rate CG quick detailer to red mist ?

red mist is more a quick wax that a detailer mate, its in a totally different league.

yeah get some red mist, and also get some lime prime, and use it before you wax.
