have i got enough stuff - do i need/want any more

[Dan J]

cheers, when you say the megs stuff, does that include the polish?

so am i right in thinking

clean
clay
machine polish
polish?
glaze/sealant possibly
wax

sorry for all the real stupid questions, its just i wanna get it right

list above is fine mate just minus the polish? as you are machining which is the polishing covered.

dont worry about the questions mate its fine and thats what this forums for dude
if your car has a clearcote it generally doesnt need both but using both sealant and wax wont do any harm at all.

yeah i thought the machine polish might of covered the polishing, just ordered some poorboys blackhole, and chemical guys wet look mirror instead of jetseal 109 - i dont clean the car often enough to warrant the extra money tbh

just hope the weather holds out for the weekend

[Dan J]

blackhole was a good choice but wet look mirror over 109 is a bad choice im afraid, understand about the budget side of things but getting something like 109 will last you a very long time as its durable protection is good. upto you though mate.

[tg1]

well bit late on the wet look, its ordered 

will wet look clash with the black hole? or is it just that 109 is that much better? i'll probably order 109 when i do my next big order, spend enough in the last 2 weeks on products

[Dan J]

no probs, no wet look wont clash with blackhole, 109 is just much better protection wise but if your using a good quality wax as your lsp then it will be fine

[tg1]

phew, thought i just ordered a load of junk 

its poorboys natty paste (blue)

i think i've got all the gear now, just need to get an idea of what to do with it 

cheers for you're help though 

[Dan J]

no probs mate glad to help,

poorboys nattys blue paste wax is awesome stuff and has very reasonable durabilty for its price tag,

happy detailing.

anything you get stuck on just shout mate

[tg1]

cheers mate, yeah i was gonna stump up for the more  expensive products but tbh, i only clean the car "properly" one or twice a year with just soapy washes inbetween. and they're not that regular 

i might invest in some fancier products after i've finished with this lot, we'll see what i make of the products.

But i'll be hollering for some advice when i get round to sorting the interior out, but thats gonna be expensive as i need a wetvac, products and a better vaccum or one that i wont get my nuts broken for using on the car 

[Dan J]

good call, theres definatly no point in spending out on loads of gear you wont use anytime soon, you will get the bug though trust me,it wont be long.

interiors are fairly straight foward,can be a bit fiddly depending on the car. i hate doing interiors but i have been doing them for 16yrs now and im sick of them.

[tg1]

well been calling in some favours and now have use of a wetvac - cheers dippy

any tips on cleaning the headlining?
