2 bucket method is... one bucket full of soapy suds as usual and another bucket with clean water, after washing each panel rinse your wash pad out in the clean water so that your washing water and wash pad stay clean
Im using: Meguires NXT Generation Shampoo Meguires Quick Detail and Clay Bar Meguires NXT Generation Tach Wax Meguires Natural Shine (vinyl & rubber protection) Autoglym Fast Glass + Newspaper to rub off Wonder Wheels I also do the 2 bucket routine, and use a tutlewax blade to wipe off excess water and a towel to dry. And a Buffer kit to apply the polish/wax and to buff it.
Damn you guys. I only 'glanced' at this topic an hour or so ago, and now I've gone and sorted out an order for P21s wax and cleaner - all because I'm running a bit low on the NXT wax!
Wow. Thats amazing I find it hard to do on black. Ok explain this one. I use...well whatever i can find in the garage. I think its turtle wax atm. Put a cap of that into a bucket. Spray car with hose and then go round whole car with bucket and sponge. But i find by the time i get back round to the other side the water has dried and now ive got water marks on it! Is there a way round this. Go faster? Or wash a side first and then hose it off. I also use some turtlewax 99p stuff my mum got. Its not too bad i dont think!
mat from what I've been reading that tutrle wax is crappy. is it a shampoo or are you using a wax????? you need to shampoo with a decent shampoo. get meguires gold class from halfors, works out at about 20p a wash which is still pretty cheap. It has a rinsing agent in it so the water will rinse off easier. you really ought to dry it with a microfibre cloth such as meguires water magnet for 10. that'll stop the streaking you could leave it at that as it'll be better than what your using at the moment. but i went the whole hog and bought, polish, sealant, wax, applicators etc. etc
if the car is drying before you can get round it...try washing early in the morning or late evening when its cooler if you still cant manage, then do the roof and windows and rinse and dry...then the bonnet and so on
pigbladder what's ur username over on detailing world?? is it steveo?? what you suggest out of natty's blue or a collinite?? it's to go on top of AIO and SG? both on my wheels and the car itself
yeah im steveo on there....answered your post on dw i like collinte myself, my 16v in members motors section has 845 on it, and im about to order some 885
so thats the collinite 845?? what is underneath it?? I'm going to use AIO then SG. So you think I should just get the 885 from that link you posted??
thats aio and collinte....serious perf just posted to say he does 476 at a better price with our discount
yeah i'm gonna go for the 476 gonna get the clearkote foam applicators for the SG and wax and terry towel applicators for the AIO just gotta pick some microfibre cloths, which ones from serious perf would you go for??
what about the ones SP sell for 1.99 or worth buying the next ones up?? http://www.seriousperformance.co.uk/sp/products/cloths.php bottom of the page
maybe some of each? over the years ive collected quiet a few , i use the nastiest ones for door shuts etc and save the nicest ones for final wax off
and which do you find to be the nicest ones?? I don't want to spend too much so I'm thinking the 1.99 ones should do the trick for a first time detail??
my best ones are megs supreme shine mf towels, i dont have any of the serious perf ones..but i expect theyre of a decent standard
