Title: First Detail of the gtd
Post by: Dipesh2031 on 04 May 2014, 15:51

so,

First detail of gtd, stone chips and bad points aside I got detailing

First.
1) Wash (I use cheapo aldi wash with wax in there)
2) Dry (I use Kent Q6100 Extra Large Microfibre Drying Towel I find you need 2 to dry a car)
3) Clay (bilt hamber medium clay, Causes marring I find)
4) Machine time! DAS6pro with Meguiar's DA Microfibre system.
5) I didn't use finishing polish as I didn't have time but I used a good going over of Autoglym SRP and speed setting 4 with the finishing pad

Results

Very nice.  :smiley:

SRP is very underrated. It can produce some really good results when used correctly. It really needs a good wax or sealant on top to give it longevity tho'.
