Styling Cleaning & Detailing

[RedGrande]

Wondering what are the best products to clean and detail my car to make it stand out that bit extra!?

It's all down to personal preference and your budget! Over the years I've settled on a mix of products. I like autoglyms exterior shampoo, super resin polish, paint sealent and interior range. I also use autobright directs snow foam. I use wax and gloss from poorboys. My quick detailing spray is from juicy details and my clay is from them too! Then you have to think about all the different pads and cloths you're going to use.

You really just need to try some things and see what works for you. My advice would be to start with some autoglym products because they are cheap compared to some others and give you a good starting point.

Thanks for the advice so went a bought a few bits, today I washed down any loose bits of dirt then used a autoglym shampoo & rinsed dryed with a micro fibre towel! used autoglym super resin polish & sealent! Also used some alloy wheel Cleaner & Cleaned interior, as well as using some back to black for the bits that looked faded!

I find Valetpro bilberry wheel cleaner is good, for a 10er a litre It can be diluted down, I'm still on my first bottle and had almost a year haha, I use a mix of poorboys and autoglym on the rest of the car but wouldn't mind trying something different

Try owning a black car!

This is after a 4 hour detailing session:


This is 2 days later


After a proper detail you shouldn't need to do it again for a while. Just use pH neutral shampoos like autoglyms body work shampoo or a good snow foam. These will removed the dirt but protect your wax/sealant ect. Then dry and use a fast wax or quick detailing spray. I use Juicy details quick detailing spray but I've also used Daemon shine spray on shine when I've ran out of the stuff from juicy details before.

To maintain the HD WAX purely autoglym conditioner shampoo and then aqua wax it back up
