Since I bought my car almost a year ago, I have only ever washed it ( 2BM and mitt of course :grin:) and polished it, with AG Bodywork Shampoo and AG SRP. I never bothered with wax as I wanted to wait until I could afford to do everything properly ie:clay, sealant etc.
Now I am ready for the plunge. :laugh: After extensive research I have drawn up a list of products which I feel would best suit my car but I would appreciate some feedback.
The car is a 1990 Royal Blue Metallic Mk2 Golf.
Shampoo: AG Bodywork Conditioner( I have half a bottle left and as it is PH neutral I think it will do the job)
Clay: Bilt-Hamber Auto-clay ( I have read good things about this and the fact that you don't need lube keeps the cost down)
Polish/Glaze: Poorboys Black Hole (I have run out of SRP and read that this is good for dark metallic cars with hard paint and no clearcote)
Sealant: Jetseal 109 ( I think this speaks for itself)
Wax: Collinite 476 or Dodo Blue Velvet (I haven't decided on this yet. I like the look of Dodo BV but I think the Coli would be better in this weather and maybe Dodo in the summer, as this is my daily and is always outside)
I look forward to your thoughts.

Looks like a good list. I'm not too sure how much the Bilt Hamber clay is but have a look at the Dodo Basics clay, only £8.95 for 2 bars. Other than that you have got yourself a great list and not much I can really add, either wax you have mentioned will be good.

Thanks Chris. As regards the clay, the Bilt Hamber is a bit more expensive, (about £12 delivered I think), and I did look at the Dodo Basics clay but the extra cost of a lube put me off. Unless a friendly supplier offers an incentive to buy everything at one place. :wink:

thats a good starts set right there :)

cannot recomend dodojuice bornslippy enough, and as chris has suggested the basics clay from dodo is very good for the money.

I'm about to do an order with Chris, and I just want to check that I am right in thinking that the Black Hole glaze is alright to use instead of polish on my Mk2 daily.
-
Yep should be fine. I would add a polish at a later date though :wink:
-
black hole is pretty much pointless unless used on a Machine, would deffo not replace a polish with it but thats just me... other than that sounds good to me
