I'm looking forward to a long Christmas-New Year vacation, and want to do quite a bit of detail work on my X and my work truck, which literally gets TONS of road grime on! My brother wants help with his black Escalade if we get time. I used to do quite a bit of ''amateur detailing'' in my teenage years for pocket money.
I've been doing quite a bit of reading in the detailing forum here, and discovered I'm quite a cave man when it comes to ''shine time.''
Here's what I've been using, (go ahead, hate on me, I'm here to learn!)
Bleche-Wite on wheels and tires (harsh chems, terrible, I know)
MEGUIARS Gold Class-
car shampo
clay bar
wax
foam applicator
Micro-fiber towels
Black Magic Gel Tire Shine
apply-let set-wipe down
I'd like to support DD as much as possible with my future car care products. This is what I came up with so far- not in this order, this is just a product list-
1st time only-wash with dish soap to strip all previous waxes, and then never again.
Adam's Car Shampoo w/ Uber wool mit
Autoglym Intense Tar Remover
Nanoskin Auto Scrub for decon
Tarminator for wheels and tires
Adam's Super VRT dressing
Sonax PNS to seal wheels
SF4500 for interior
3-M cutting and polishing for paint correction
Opti-Coat to seal- literally don't have time to wax every couple months, this seems like a good alternative...
Adams Americana on top
I need a deep-cleaner for the Shadow-line trim, more than just a polish. What do you reccomend?
When I got my roof resprayed, looks like someone let a sander slide all the way down the windshield, right in front of the driver's seat. Can't see it unless the sun hits just right, but it looks terrible when it does. Overlapping half-circles, all the way down. Can I polish this out? With what?
Ready, GO! Let the ridiculing/suggestions fly...
