Title: Mk3 first detail products?
Post by: Seanl on 26 June 2011, 22:48

Probs gonna get myself a DA polisher soonish, but reading through the FAQs and guides etc, and I'm more confused than ever as to what are the best products to buy.

Firstly, what is the hardness of the paint on a 97 mk3 generally like??

Not sure my car has ever had a detail, and the paintwork is actually quite reasonable for the year. ie no real fading etc. There are some medium deep swirls, and some small to medium sized scratches in the paintwork though. Not sure about forking out for a paint depth guage as well as this lot will cost me a bomb as it is.

So should I just get a medium abrasive clay, pads, polish etc?? Obviously first time so products that are quite forgiving and easy to use would be best.

What would you guys recommend for all of the above???     Thanks all.  :smiley:

Give Waxamoma a call or a PM on here and am sure he'll be able to sort you out with a kit.  Buy a DA that come with pads and polish will save you a few pounds.  Dont forget you'll need a sealant and a wax as well.
