Sorting out my detailing tools....
« on: 02 February 2010, 18:26 »
Finally decided to start getting some top notch cleaning materials from waxamomo.

This is what I've got so far:

Meguiar's Bucket, Grit Guard and Seat Lid
Dodo Juice Born To Be Mild
Meguiars Cleaner Paste Wax
Meguiars Smooth Surface Clay Kit
Meguiars Soft Foam Applicators
Dodo Juice Sheepskin Tribble Wash Mitt
Cobra Gold Plush Microfibre Towel 16x24
**Added the following after reading a few bits on here**
Bilberry Wheel Cleaner
Dodo Juice Lime Prime Lite
Chemical Guy's Spray Liquid Leather
Meguiar's NXT Generation Glass Cleaner
Dodo Juice Mint Merkin Glass Cloth

Are those products good to start with? Is there anything else ppl can reccommend?

Some Megs endurance tyre gel would finish it off nicely if you don't already have something similar.

I read somewhere on here it was better to use a mitt for the wheels.

these brush's are soft and are perfectly safe to use on your rims, yes wash mitts are good to use on your rims but you cant reach iside the rims with though :wink: obviously avoid polished lips on your rims with the wheel brushes.
