Just use a window cleaner, much cheaper than the megs stuff. You can get them for a few quid from supermarket

jpsaxo 16th February 2008 23:40

anything else lads?

bullit 17th February 2008 04:03

josh i have a clay bar if you want one. like in pm depends how mad you wanna get. you also want a load of cheap microfibre cloths for cleaning most things,.

what wax you got?

Mark51 17th February 2008 07:06

bucket? lol

you could do with the following mate

wash mitt
bucket x 2
car shampoo
drying towels
clay bar
quick detailer
polish
sealant
wax
trim detailer
tyre shine

jpsaxo 17th February 2008 10:55

cheers mark and bullit,

Yeah bring that clay bar over if you can mate :y:

I have meg's wax...

What order to a apply that horrible long list Mark?

Mark51 17th February 2008 10:59

rinse
wash using 2 bucket method
rinse
clay bar it
rinse
wash again
rinse
dry using drying towels
polish
sealant
wax
trim detailer (can be done before or after the cars been dried)
tyre shine (can be done before or after the cars been dried)

you'll also need some Micro fibre cloths for buffing off the polish, sealant and wax. and so applicator pads for applying them. you can just use a cloth for applying the trim detailer and tyre shine depending which one you use

good stuff

i always clean my wheels and arches first as i use the jet wash and it can spray muck over the body work

i use autoglym wheel cleaner as im impressed with the results, avoid megs wheel cleaner as its been known to strip paint from wheels (adsayers vts rims iirc)

for windows id clean them then apply ag glass polish, i find after cleaning with a normal window cleaner its streaky.

Cheers guys :y:
