Waxamomo Shopping List
« on: 14 March 2012, 00:41 »
Right so my supplies are getting low and so i'm going to need to buy a whole set of new cleaning products for my car soon, which is a perfect time to try some different brand stuff once my Autoglym bottles are empty!

This is what I have so far, which is a lot and any advice from you professional detailers out there would be appreciated, it's Reflex Silver if that helps in your decisions between the vast amount of products:

Washing:

Meguiar's Lambswool Wash Mitt
Valet Pro Large Sash Brush (For those hard to reach areas)
Chemical Guy's Miracle Drying Towel
Poorboy's Super Slick and Suds 32oz

Wheels:

Valet Pro Bilberry Wheel Cleaner - 1 Litre
Poorboy's Wheel Sealant
Poorboy's Bold N Bright 16oz (For dressing tires)

Under Hood:

Meguiar's Super Degreaser
Random Brushes

Claying:

Dodo Juice Supernatural Medium Grade Clay
Dodo Juice Born Slippy Refill - 250ml

Polishing:

Poorboy's White Diamond Show Glaze 16oz (Is this stuff as good as Black Hole? I have a silver car so can't use that)

Wax:

Poorboy's Natty's Paste Wax

Sealant:

Need advice on a good sealant?

Interior:

Pinnacle Leather and Vinyl Cleaner
Various Microfibre cloths

Did I miss anything? This is gonna cost me an arm and a leg!

Cheers!
Mr Savage.

(I'll also be posting before and after pics because this is gonna be one crazy clean)  :laugh:

what you have seems fine & should do a really good job, add a good wax/sealant or both & you wont go wrong.

sealant wise i have only ever used jetseal 109 & wasnt that keen on it but there are guys on here who swear by it. i have just bought some CG blacklight hybrid to try, am sure it will be the same or very similar to jetseal but looking forward to giving it a try.

Wax's i have only ever used dodo & collinite476, collinite durability is crazy, dodo stuff might not be quite as durable but there wax's smell good enough to eat  :grin:

either 1 will do a great job

my car is reflex silver aswell BTW

loose the pb's wheel sealant, and the nattys wax, get fk1000p. Saves you a few quid and is a sealant

not sure how it compares to the wheel sealant, but gives a more sterile finish than the nattys

Looks like a pretty comprehensive list. TG1 says lose the wheel sealant...I purchased this the other week and loved it, such a good product. But TG has a higher post count so.... :rolleyes: :laugh:

If you want a sealant you could get some DJ SN hybrid, a mix between wax and sealant...it is awesome BTW, I really rate it.

Have fun :smiley:

I can now recommend Jetseal 109. Really easy to apply, really easy to buff off, and looks feckin immense!
Can use it as a wheel sealant too.  :smiley:

@ scar its not to say its poo. just that the fk will keep the cost down, replacing the wheel sealant, and a sealant. i mean nattys is really good imo, just the fk gives a very "clean/shiney" sort of look, where the wax looks a bit "wetter/glossier" probably not explained in the most eloquent of manners but i know what i mean  :grin:

i'd consider a paint cleanser/polish as well
