Hi guys. I'm by no means an expert when it comes to cleaning my car but i do use the two bucket method and i do polish it. However i've had my golf almost a year now and it has in my own opinion a beautiful colour on it. LC3K or Canyon Red.
Basically i'm after a little bit of advice.
In my head i need to do the following:
-Wash car
-Clay car
-Polish car
-Wax car
Is this correct?
Another thing is i don't have a massive budget for this. So decent products at a decent price recommended would be appreciated. There are so many choices i just get lost when trying to pick something.

I'm going to get some Colinite 845 insulator wax for winter protection methinks, read some good reviews on here for it, plus it's not too expensive either. :cool:

Well said that man, great product for the winter months and as you say it's not expensive, it's also very economical in application.
