Title: Want to start detailing again
Post by: Shady Pioneer on 21 May 2012, 19:18
I've been out of the cleaning came for quite some time now but seeing as I've got my Anni to a more presentable stage I'd like to keep her looking good.

To begin with, biggest problem I had before was storage of cleaning products. I don't have a garage or shed so was looking into a store bag, seen a friend who has this and looked quite good with plenty of space:

Now I want to keep my new leathers looking good and have read good things about this leather kit:

Heard good reviews about it.

Also would like a decent interior cleaner for the dash etc, along with window cleaner.

Recommendations?

You might be better and cheaper to get a clear sealable box from B&Q as your detailing collection will grow.  Gliptone is a good leather cleaner and conditioner. For glass try Dodo Juice Clearly Menthol and Auto Finesse Revive for the dash/trim.

Theres a few ideas for storage in http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=229211.0 . The detailing bags do seem pretty good though.

I'm not really planning in buying loads, I think mainly the following:

Leather cleaner + MF cloth
Dash cleaner + MF cloth
Window cleaner + cloth

Clay bar and quick detailed + MF cloth
Polish + cloths
Wax + cloths
Bumper care + cloth

Just want to know what's good at the moment, I never tried Dodo Juice products or Poorboys but hear lots of good things, problem is, I don't know what's what. :grin:

Personally I like PB stuff. Dj products are good, but overpriced imo. The sealable boxes are a good idea, or you could get one of the big stacked tool boxes on wheels with a grab handle. :evil: Thats where its at!!! :cool:

Holy sh!t. Wolfs Silk Milk is an unbelievable product. Seriously love this stuff! Waxamomo sent me a little tester and I'm hooked (great sales technique there :grin:). Spray a tiny bit of it on your dash, interior plastics, steering wheel etc then give it a good buff with a nice clean MF...Bring it up so shiny and smooth to touch. Smells awesome also!  :smiley:

can definantly recommend gliptone leather cleaner! used it for my leather seats in my audi a3 1.8t, kept it looking like brand new and smelling fresh! defo recommend, money well spent.
still got it in the garage to use every now n then on my leather sofas  :cool: works a treat
