Hi guys,
Just bought a GP sporting last week, Chemical Grey, 06 plate so has a few marks here and there,
Im wanting to give it a good going over tomorrow while I'm off with a wash, clay, polish and wax, as I'm sick of having to go to the car wash every other week since my old car was white, but after reading these forums I'm learning that car washes are bad ideas.
Im wanting to spend the time now with polish and wax, and start to build up a protective layer over time so that I have to spend less time on cleaning and more time on enjoying!
Any tips on what I should be doing?
Ive waxed my old cars plenty of times before, but only every now and again, I'm going to do this one properly now.
Am I right in assuming its wash, rinse, clay, wash again, polish and then wax?
Few things in the garage to use, ie AG Polish, Turtlewax (3pots of different ones)
I know I'm going to call in Asda on the way home from work tonight to pick up a washing mitt and microfibre cloths; but I've got one of those rotating polishers that I use, looking a bit yellow now so I think I'll get a new one. If I buy two, can one also be used to wax the car with? (lazy me)?
Cheers
